RZE UTD-8000

The UTD-8000 is RZE's titanium digital watch, and it was designed and tested in the Canadian North, which RZE says is why its custom module keeps working when the watch is fully exposed to extreme cold. The case is solid Grade 2 titanium under RZE's UltraHex coating, 42 mm at the case and 43 mm across the bezel, 13.4 mm thick and 49.5 mm lug to lug, with a screwed titanium caseback, a sapphire lens and 200 m of water resistance. The module runs on a CR2032 for more than three years, has an aqua-marine LED backlight, and RZE guarantees it for life. It comes on an elasticised fabric strap and takes RZE's UltraHex titanium bracelet, on which it weighs 105 g. It was sold as a pre-order at $279.
