Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.

PHOIBOS Great Wall PY045C – Black – 300M Automatic Diver – Limited Edition
The PHOIBOS Great Wall PY045C is a serious limited-production automatic diver combining architectural styling, premium Japanese mechanics, and an impressive 300 meters of water resistance.
Inspired by the strength and monumental architecture of the Great Wall of China, the second-generation Great Wall uses a distinctive geometric design with a streamlined 42mm 316L stainless-steel case measuring only 12mm thick. Its low-profile bezel incorporates design cues inspired by the battlements of the Great Wall. (Phoibos Watch)
The circular-brushed black dial gives the PY045C a clean but highly technical appearance. Shield-shaped hour markers and sword-style hands provide excellent legibility, with Grade-A Super-LumiNova BGW9 delivering a strong blue glow in darkness. PHOIBOS applies 15 layers of BGW9 to the hands and luminous bezel pip. (Phoibos Watch)
Inside is the excellent Miyota 9015 automatic movement, a slim Japanese high-beat caliber operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its higher frequency provides the smooth seconds-hand sweep enthusiasts associate with more premium automatic movements. (Phoibos Watch)
A double-domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while the 120-click unidirectional stainless-steel bezel, screw-down crown and screw-down caseback contribute to the watch's substantial 300M / 990FT water resistance. (Phoibos Watch)
The PY045C comes on a 22mm genuine black leather strap with stainless-steel buckle, and PHOIBOS also includes a customized black rubber strap, giving the watch both dressier and sport-oriented configurations. (Phoibos Watch)
