Built to meet rigorous operational requirements, the Holton range features unique design elements tailored for soldiers, divers, and outdoor professionals. Whether you require the absolute simplicity of a rugged quartz model or the precision engineering of an automatic tracking multiple time zones via a GMT hand, these watches are built to outlast your career. • Tactical Crown Layout: Shifting the crown to the 4 o'clock position prevents it from digging into your wrist during push-ups, weapon handling, or slamming down into a contact position. • Advanced Shock Isolation: Uses a custom stainless steel internal shield cradled by a shock-absorbing O-ring to completely protect the movement from harsh impacts. • Unbreakable Bar System: Ditches standard spring bars—which bend and pop under tension—for a massive, one-piece solid steel screw-in bar system. • Nivo Military Paint: The "Nivo" models feature a dial color matched to the precise matte camouflage shade used on WWII British bombers to blend seamlessly over open water at night. • Extreme Endurance: Officially tested by being placed directly alongside plastic explosives on ranges, strapped to a ship bow circumnavigating the globe, and dropped 3,900 feet into the ocean on an ROV.
