This watch is available on the ArmourLite website here:
http://www.armourlite.com/iso3002
It's selling for $525.00 with no higher list price mentioned. The skull is not tritium, so it glows "for 5 to 10 minutes" after being charged with a flashlight, so you might want pick up a good everyday carry flashlight when you order this.
The similar Isobrite 1st Armored Division Limited Ediiton watch (out of stock) has an American flag in place of a skull:

I'm not sure which watch would be more likely to produce an anitfa beating: an American flag or a tottenkopf.
Carbon fiber polycarbonate is considered high-end for aircraft parts, but that's because the fiber is in sheet form and adds strength. In watches they probably just grind up the fiber and the watch is essentially just plastic with fiber powder in it. For instance, from a Luninox watch review:
"Unlike pricier watches with cases in similar materials that usually contain carbon fibre strands inside a polymer, the Luminox case is made from carbon fibre powder mixed with a hard thermoplastic polymer. Consequently its physical strength is reduced . . . ."

Finally, here's an overview of skull watches, from the $13,000 Hublot Skull Bang to the $150 Swatch Full-Blooded Black Skull watch.

CloacaHi Cloaca, the $573.90 MSRP Massdrop has indicated accounts for the watch ($525) plus the additional velcro band ($35.95) and the spring bar removal tool ($12.95). The dial has tritium markers at the hour marks and the hands. The skull is indeed photo luminescent so it glows after being exposed to ambient light or the beam of a flashlight. These aspects are well indicated in the listing. The skull means a lot of things to a lot of different people. It really comes down to personal preference. It's not for everybody and wasn't meant to be.
