MIL-SPEC FIELD TESTED
Field-tested build
The instrument you keep on when everything else comes off.
Impact rated
Shock-mounted core
A floating movement cage absorbs hard drops, handlebar chatter, and the kind of knocks that happen after dark.
Low-light ready
Full-night lume
Oversized markers charge fast and stay readable through pre-dawn starts and moonless camp checks.
200M sealed
Rain, river, rinse
Twin gaskets, screw-down crown, and pressure-rated casework shrug off crossings, storms, and salt spray.
72-hour reserve
Weekend mechanical
A long-reserve automatic movement keeps running from Friday departure to Monday unpacking.
Built like equipment
Every detail earns its place.
Ridgefield R-42 keeps the dial clean, the case compact, and the materials honest: steel, sapphire, ceramic, rubber, and a movement you can service decades from now.
