Outrider Automatic French Army Green Watch 23-OA-005

The Watch

The Wolbrook brand was founded in 1949 in the United States before relocating its production to France in the late 1950s to leverage French expertise and excellence, delivering sophisticated, high-quality timepieces. Water-resistant, robust, functional, and high-performing, every model is designed to be the faithful companion of its proud wearer. With its compact design and carefully crafted retro-vintage style, this fine Outrider 23-OA-005 timepiece - limited to 938 pieces - is the essential watch for men who appreciate refinement and sporting elegance. Blending harmonious lines, meticulous craftsmanship, and technical performance, it will never leave you indifferent and will earn its place on your wrist every day. This "Made in France" field watch draws inspiration from Wolbrook's iconic exploration models of the 1940s and 1950s, updated with modern touches to suit contemporary tastes. It will accompany you across all your maritime, land, and aerial adventures as you explore new horizons. It features a round case with a monoblock construction that sits comfortably on your wrist, combining comfort and robustness. The case is crafted in marine-grade 316L stainless steel with hand-applied polished and brushed finishes, giving it a timeless, modern look. Shock-resistant thanks to its Hexaplex structure, it measures 39.50 mm in diameter, 48 mm in length, and 13 mm in thickness. The hours, minutes, and date can be set via the screw-down crown at 3 o'clock. With its knurled design, it offers a secure grip in any situation. The dial is shielded from daily impacts by a sapphire crystal in a double-dome shape, featuring a scratch-resistant coating with an anti-reflective treatment on the inner surface for impeccable visibility. The caseback features a screw-down case back ensuring water resistance to 15 ATM.

The Dial

A stunning round dial in French army green sits elegantly within the case, lending the watch a refined vintage feel. It features a semi-matte finish that enhances its charm. At the center, a slim seconds hand with a red tip leads the way, followed by two baton hands indicating the hours, minutes, and seconds - even in the dark, thanks to their SuperLuminova C3 coating for excellent legibility in all conditions. The outer edge features a minute track with white markers and white Arabic numerals, with the 60-minute marker in red for added visual impact. Inside, Arabic numeral hour indices are also coated with SuperLuminova C3 for clear nighttime reading. White Arabic numerals at the center enable reading of military time. You'll also notice a "Roulette"-style date window at 3 o'clock - a distinctive feature displaying the date in black on odd days and in red on even days. Near 6 o'clock, the brand references the watch's origin with the inscription "Shock-Resistant" just above. Finally, the brand signs the dial below 12 o'clock in capital letters as a mark of authenticity.

The Movement

Powering this timepiece is a Japanese automatic movement - renowned for its exceptional performance and reliability - chosen to bring this watch to life and ensure smooth, accurate operation of the hands and date display. This mechanism is manufactured by the prestigious Miyota manufacture, specifically the caliber 8315. Regulated and adjusted in-house at the Wolbrook workshops, it delivers precise, dependable timekeeping in all conditions. It features 21 jewels, a stop-seconds device, and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations/hour (3 Hz). Protected by "3D" rubber shock absorbers, it provides a 60-hour power reserve. Its rotor is decorated with a Côtes de Genève finish and fitted with blued screws.

The Strap

Based on your choice, we will ship this charming timepiece with one of the two easily interchangeable straps below. Whichever you choose, you can count on its elegance and modern appeal to set you apart every day. Note that their width tapers from 20 mm at the lug end to 16 mm at the buckle.

For the first option, the brand offers a link bracelet featuring a rice grain structure, giving the watch a sport-chic appeal. Crafted in 316L stainless steel with a brushed finish, it draws inspiration from jubilee bracelet designs.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 15 atmospheres, or 150 meters. This is a truly water-resistant timepiece! Its fun, sporty style makes it perfectly at home in any aquatic setting. From puddles to the pool, this watch handles splashes without complaint. Showering, bathing, and recreational swimming are no problem. However, our Ocarat watchmaking experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suitable for diving (professional or otherwise) and should not be exposed to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding the use of the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
