The timeless character of the field watch is something everyone can agree on, which is why California design studio Centric Instruments made it the starting point when creating their ideal watch. Enter Lightwell, the capable, durable and stylish solar-powered watch that won’t break the bank. Designed, built and field-tested to handle the rigors of everything from surfing and carpentry to bike commuting and photography, this watch truly is built for everyday wear. A Seiko solar quartz movement and cleverly hidden solar cell make sure you’re on time whenever you want to be–without having to worry about battery replacements. A brushed 316L stainless case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 100 meter water resistance make sure your timepiece always looks its best. Gilt, black and white dial variants–along with the Italian leather and silicone strap options–make the watch versatile enough to wear with anything. Lightwell is your new favorite field watch.
