What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

[MacJenkins]

Not exactly a hunting watch, but Breguet's single hand is being re-made to celebrate their 250th aniversary. I am seriously tempted.

I seen that a month or so ago. Nice looking! However I thought the retail price was very high. I think it might be in platinum? Still doesn’t command the 50k price point I was told.

Pics or it doesn't count.

Fresh back from getting repaired just in time to head back to Africa.

Great looking piece. What was wrong with it?

Great looking piece. What was wrong with it?

I was in a hurry to fix a gate and did a quick welding job and failed to take it off like normal. Destroyed the crystal and ceramic bezel insert.

Shoot, sorry to hear that. Looks great now. I have one I've been hesitant to wear, however seeing them in the wild pushes me closer to some daily wear.

This has truly been my "beater" if you will since 2014 or 15. Been a great watch, I do everything with it, pull engines, all my hunting etc. (normally no welding however)
I've never even had it serviced. I throw it on a timegrapher a couple times a year to make sure were still running good.

Love it, that's first class for sure.

I posted before that I usually wear my Fenix 6X as it has a GPS and I use that to mark where I take shots, where I last see blood, where the camp is etc.
But I have recently got a watch that blew me away , an automatic diver with a little South African angle.
Draken is a microbrand named after the Drakensberg mountains and the owner now lives in New Zealand and is a hunter/shooter himself.
I am in no way linked or associated with them, just a paying customer loving a product.
Im a big diver (Sharks being a massive passion) and could not resist getting a SA designed dive watch.

I went Green-Green Tugela model partly because that was all that was available in stock and partly because I think it links back to the bush and outdoor activities, not just diving.
A proper 300m water resist, good bracelet as well as nylon strap giving me options.

This will be on my arm the next hunt for sure.
The limitations of a cheap automatic are there, but I would also think some of you might look at these as a SA souvenir after a hunt?
I am looking at thier Aoraki field watch next.

That would be a nice gift after a safari.
