Thanks for checking out our first-ever watch collaboration! We're pleased to be launching this product that was developed in close collaboration with ArmourLite.
Even before Watches grew out of the Men’s Style community and became its own community, ArmourLite’s watches have been popular here with our Everyday Carry community for their tough build quality and tritium illumination. In the 2 ½ years that ArmourLite has been offering their timepieces to the Massdrop community, members have purchased over 800 of their various models. However, ArmourLite is focused primarily on building watches that are designed for first responders and the typical aesthetic is more towards ‘overbuilt and tactical’ than ‘refined and stylish.’
We recognized that many members in the Everyday Carry community really enjoyed watches with tritium illumination, but that members in the Watches community were mostly interested in watches with slimmer cases, cleaner dials, and more classic/dressy styling. When we looked around to see what else was available with T100-rated tritium, a titanium case, and modern styling, we didn’t see much around for under $500.
So, recognizing there wasn’t much available that offered the features that members from this different but related communities were interested in, we decided to make a watch that offered all this at a reasonable price. We started with the popular Field Series as a baseline, and we gave it a full makeover as well as some cool upgrades. Check them out side-by-side:

And of course, a few housekeeping notes as we get started on the launch of our first watch:
* The drop is limited to 1000 total units. * This watch cannot be shipped to France (due to tritium restrictions), or Germany and Italy (due to battery restrictions) * Members who join the drop in September will see their transactions processed on September 30th. Members who join in October will see their transactions processed when the drop ends on October 12th.
Carry On! -- Jonas
