VFA-137 Kestrels

Built with the best parts sourced from around the world!

Movement: Swiss Ronda 5021.d

• Our “Ameri-chrono” watch, using a high-end Swiss quartz chronograph movement.
  2 positioned chronograph.
  2 recessed sub-dials. 60 min. and 60 second.
  Pull/Push crown used to set the time and date and to adjust chronograph settings.

Case: 44mm wide, 10.5mm thick 316 stainless steel.

• At 10.5mm, this watch has a sleek profile on your wrist, unlike many of the 44mm+ sized watches that look big and bulky.
• The case-back is screwed on and engraved separately from the watch to protect the movement from damage from the laser. This process is used in most high-end watches and leads to the caseback engraving not “lining up” with the watch.
• 316 stainless steel is the “go-to” steel for all high-end watches. It is a surgical grade stainless steel that finished with either a brushed or polished finish.

Hands: Proprietary “continuous curve” hands with subset luminescent markers on the minute and hour hands, as well as on the 2 sub-dials.

Strap: Genuine oil tanned leather, Nylon NATO, or tactical rubber.

• 22mm wide.
• Stainless steel hardware.

Sapphire Crystal Window: Used in most high-end watches, it provides a much higher scratch resistance than the more common mineral glass.

• Hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale.
• Only surpassed by diamond in terms of hardness.
• Sourced from Switzerland with an anti-reflective coating on the inside and outside of the crystal.

Water Resistance: By no means is this a diving watch, but it is water resistant to 100 meters (Note. Not water proof). Not recommended to spend a prolonged amount of time in the water, based on which strap you have.

Other internal components: Top and bottom rockers are 100% stainless steel, and they run through a stainless steel routing into the movement.

• A lot of cheaper watches will use a plastic router that breaks easily.
• The stainless steel adds an additional cost but increases the strength by an order of magnitude.
