Momentum Field Watches: Smokejumper, Atlas 44!

You could spend $500 on the auto Hamilton Khaki H70575733 field watch or you could get this high value excellent "Smokejumper" field watch. Made by Momentum, this is a flat wearing awesome looking watch from the "Atlas" lineup. With that in mind, I&also review in this WRV it&brother, the "Atlas 44." It is a big improvement of the lilliputian 38mm version that I got rid of, the Atlas 44 is perfectly sized and has great wrist presence. Both watches have big personalities but in different ways: the Smokejumper is tactical black and stealthy, the Atlas 44 possesses a lume face with stark black arrow hands; at night these hands stand out in stark contrast. Each looks like a technical field watch and has legible day/date...a rarity it seems. Both run on the entirely adequate Seiko VX43E quartz movement powered by 371 battery. Sapphire, AR coated crystal option is shown and discussed but I think it&a waste of money. Their excellent strap options, clear markings, 100M water resistance, great looks, and versatile sizing make both the Atlas 44 and the cooly named Smokejumper a favorite field watch. As a bonus you&see the Nutnfancy programmed version of the Smokejumper at the end of the video! Also a fun Robotech and B24 discussion ensues! Use my links to support the show, don&cost you nothing!
