Kobold Timemaster Field Watch
The Kobold Timemaster Field Watch features a Made in U.S.A. Kobold Kairos case designed by Kobold founding father and master watchmaker Gerd-R. Lang. The Swiss hand-wound movement has been modified to display central seconds. It is finely decorated with Cotes de Geneve (Geneva stripes) and engraved "Kobold Watch Co., Pittsburgh, PA." A screw balance and swan neck fine regulator complete the technically and aesthetically pleasing movement.
The original Kairos case is best known for its coin-edge bezels (front and back). The Kobold Timemaster Field Watch features a re-designed version of this iconic case. fashioned from aerospace-grade titanium.
