Let yourself be captivated by this remarkable Spec 2 Ameriquartz PAQ-40-MIC-GRK1 timepiece and make it your new everyday companion. With its retro military design inspired by the iconic A-11 watch, it's the timeless, elegant addition that elevates every look. Count on its versatility and reliability to help you stand out and make the most of every day. Its round case stands out with refined details and a sandblasted/polished finish that gives it a refined character. Crafted in stainless steel, it measures 40 mm in diameter and 12.50 mm in thickness, with a lug-to-lug length of 47 mm - dimensions perfectly suited for comfortable everyday wear. Designed for men's wrists, it features a double-domed K1 mineral crystal that arches over the dial, offering excellent shock resistance and great legibility thanks to its sapphire coating and anti-reflective treatment. The hands are adjusted via a gray crown with a knurled design positioned at 3 o'clock. On the case back, a screwed caseback features knurled edges and ensures water resistance up to 5 bar.

The Dial

The dial of this model features a round shape and showcases a white background that brings a breath of fresh air to the whole design. It's enhanced by harmoniously arranged markers for quick and clear timekeeping. A slim gray seconds hand sweeps the dial to display the seconds. Two sword-shaped hands coated with a beige SuperLuminova layer accompany it to indicate the hours and minutes, pointing to twelve printed Arabic numeral indices for fast hour recognition. Like the hands, these indices feature a beige SuperLuminova treatment for reliable legibility in low-light conditions. The outer ring houses a classic minute track graduated in its traditional form, with Arabic numerals every 10 minutes.

The Movement

Inside the case beats a quartz movement of American origin - specifically the Ameriquartz 6130 caliber, manufactured by FTS and renowned for its reliability and performance. It drives the hands smoothly for accurate, dependable timekeeping. Powered by a battery with a lifespan of 48 months.

The Strap

This watch is paired with a delicate canvas strap crafted from woven fabric that wraps gently around your wrist for all-day comfort. Its striking dark gray-green color and contrasting light stitching give it an exquisite military edge that pairs effortlessly with any outfit, adding a touch of athletic elegance. With a lug width of 20 mm, it's easy to adjust thanks to a tang buckle that keeps it secure and comfortable throughout the day. The buckle is crafted in stainless steel and measures 18 mm in width.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It's designed to be as beautiful as it is capable - but that beauty shouldn't be put to the test. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. As for swimming and diving, we strongly advise against submerging this watch to avoid damage and costly repairs.
