Ballast Trafalgar BL-3133 Automatic Watch

The Trafalgar takes its name from the epic 19th-century battle between the British Royal Navy and the French and Spanish navies. Made from stainless steel with a mineral crystal, it’s as tough as a submarine—and it has a couple aesthetic cues to emphasize the nautical feeling. First, the dial has a notched chapter ring, like a line of rope on deck. Another cool feature is the canteen-style crown, which twists off and dangles from the outside of the case, and the patented bezel control feature, which is used to wind the mainspring and set the time and date. The date window is outlined with a checkered box around it, like a hazardous carton of supplies. Powered by a Miyota 8215 21-jewel automatic movement, the watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
