Snyper Iron Clad 513 Automatic Watch

“Iron clad” doesn’t even begin to describe the build of this rock-solid Snyper watch. Built like an armored tank, the 53-millimeter timepiece features a technically driven stainless steel case and sapphire crystal. The dial has a lot of depth, thanks to the chronograph. A 12-hour subdial at 6 o’clock and a 30-minute subdial at 12 o’clock are tied to the chronograph, while a subdial at 9 o’clock tracks running seconds. Also of note are the day and date windows positioned diagonally across from one another at 3. Carbon fiber accents throughout help solidify the tactical look. Another aspect of the watch’s utility is the rail system opposite the shrouded crown. This gives you the ability to attach other modules, like lighters, laser pointers, and more soon to come. Inside the stout case is Snyper’s own F101 movement of 25 jewels. The movement offers a 48-hour power reserve.

Snyper watches are inspired by military and special forces equipment. And their aesthetic and wrist presence back up that claim. Founded in 2009 by Jean-Francois Ruchonnet—a former watchmaker/designer at brands such as Breguet, Chopard, and TAG Heuer—Snyper creates watches that feature a special rail system at 9 o'clock to attach optional modules such as lighters, laser pointers, and others soon to come.
