DIVER-1 Mission Timer® Lithium-Ion Quartz
D1ADDQZNYBLKUS
$749.00
Your Mission Timer isn’t pulled from a shelf — it’s built from scratch, by hand, by a team of five American builders in our small-batch workshop.
We machine every steel case, assemble every movement, and test every component in-house. Nothing is overlooked. Nothing is rushed.
How It Works
All quartz timers will ship prior to 19 DEC. That’s how long it takes to craft, test, and ship your Mission Timer — start to finish — without cutting corners. We believe you deserve the attention to detail of 1 watchmaker, 1 watch.
Your watchmaker assembles your piece personally, from case prep to final seal.
Why We Do It This Way
We don’t mass-produce inventory that sits on shelves.
Instead, we manufacture in limited runs — purpose-built, mission-ready pieces that reflect our values: precision, durability, and American grit.
Secure Your Spot
When you order, you’re locking in a build slot in our next batch. You’ll receive email updates throughout the process — from machining to assembly to shipping. All quartz timers will ship prior to 19 DEC.
We build them in order. We stand behind them for life.
