Alpha I JDM-WG001-08 Watch

The Watch

JDM Military honors Swiss watchmaking tradition in its own unique and meaningful way, delivering timepieces of uncompromising quality and precision. The brand presents the Alpha I JDM-WG001-08 Watch - particularly robust and reliable. With a military-inspired aesthetic, it features a durable case crafted in dark gray stainless steel, the result of its gunmetal PVD treatment. Round in shape, it is finished with a meticulous brushed surface that perfectly complements its dark tone. With a 40 mm diameter, it fits men's wrists perfectly while delivering exceptional comfort. A flat sapphire crystal covers the dial, offering excellent protection against scratches and shocks. The crown at 3 o'clock is protected by crown guards, and its knurling allows easy manipulation to set the hands and date. The package is completed by a screw-down case back that provides 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

The unique, clean design of this dial makes time reading a pleasure. It features a sunray effect that illuminates its army green, lightly brushed surface for a beautifully radiant look. The perimeter is defined by a minute track paired with partially luminous indices for perfect legibility in low-light conditions. This luminescent material is also found on the sword-shaped hour and minute hands, while the seconds hand is slender and silver-toned. These hands precisely point to Arabic numeral hour indices displayed in a 12-hour format. At 3 o'clock, the numeral is replaced by a baton index alongside a date window with a white background. Likewise, the 12 o'clock position features the brand's logo along with the Swiss Cross - a powerful emblem of Swiss watchmaking heritage. Finally, for added precision, model-specific information is noted above 6 o'clock.

The Movement

The timekeeping of this model is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement - the Ronda 515 caliber, fitted with one jewel and powered by a 371 battery with approximately 4 years of autonomy. Reliable and precise, it drives an analog three-hand display with a date function, accurate to -10/+20 seconds per month.

The Strap

This watch is paired with a stainless steel bracelet in dark gray that perfectly matches its brushed and polished finishes. With a gunmetal PVD treatment, it features three rows of links for a comfortable fit and easy adjustment. Fitted with a deployment clasp, it strikes a smart balance between ruggedness and sophistication - making this timepiece the ideal companion for the modern man. Note that this bracelet measures 20 mm in lug width.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - it's truly water-ready. Ready to splash around with you, this stylish timepiece handles everything from puddles to the pool without complaint. Shower, bath, or a serious swim? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that this model, while water-resistant, is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
