The Scrambler Automatic takes design cues from vintage 1970s watch cases, while taking advantage of modern manufacturing and finishing precision today. Powered by our proprietary automatic wandering hour movement, its completely mechanical. It never requires batteries and will never die as you wear it.Reading the time looks complicated but is actually quite easy. Simply look at where the hour meets the minutes in the upper viewing window. Thats it. As time passes, the next hour comes into view, and the geneva gear mechanism shifts the hands to their next position. Tiered layering creates a sense of depth that isnt typically seen in a watch dial, almost giving the appearance that the hands are mechanically excavating down into the dial.We used the best materials to create the Scrambler Automatic a beautifully brushed case made of 316L stainless steel, colorful anodized aluminum module arms, ribbed American Horween leather straps, and Swiss-made Super-LumiNova minutes and hours. With all of the lume on the Scrambler back-filled in deep wells, this is the brightest Xeric watch to date.
