About the model

Field watches have a clear origin. They were created for soldiers who needed reliable watches that showed the time equally well in mud, rain, and dust – without complications, without unnecessary elements, with excellent readability.

UltraHex™ – titanium that doesn't want to scratch

RZE treated the titanium case with an UltraHex™ surface treatment with a hardness of up to 1200 Hv, creating titanium that is approximately eight times more scratch-resistant than steel, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, while being approximately half the weight. The result is the Valour 38 weighing just 57 grams including the strap with a thickness of 11 mm. You almost don't feel it on your wrist.

Dial: readability above all else

Regardless of the chosen color shade – Carbon Black, Medallion Yellow, Slate Grey, Calcite or Vervain Blue – you get a legible dial with a design language referencing 1960s field watches. Arabic numerals in full Japanese Super-LumiNova, legible hands, an inner 24-hour military scale. The date window is then hidden at the 6 o'clock position with contrastingly printed numbers. Minimum branding, maximum function.

Viton™ gaskets and screw-down crown

The new version of the model adds Viton™ gaskets – a fluoroelastomer used in the aerospace and chemical industries, resistant to extreme temperatures and aggressive substances. Screw-down crown with engraved logo, screw-down solid titanium case back, 100m / 10 ATM water resistance.

Seiko NH35A movement

For reliability and service availability, RZE opted for the proven Seiko NH35A mechanical movement – one of the most widespread automatic movements in the industry, with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, a power reserve of 41 hours, quick date adjustment, and hacking seconds function, and the possibility of manual winding. Nothing ostentatious – exactly what field watches need.

About the brand

The RZE brand (originally founded under the name Reise) saw the light of day in 2020 and within a few years has grown into one of the most respected microbrands on the current market. Its creation is attributed to Travis Tan, a commercial airline pilot and passionate outdoor enthusiast. It was his profession, where every gram of weight and absolute reliability of instruments play a role, that defined the entire philosophy of the brand.

The DNA of the RZE brand is made up of a single material: Titanium.

While most watch companies use stainless steel and reserve titanium for more expensive premium editions, RZE produces all its watches exclusively from titanium. Their mission is to bring "tool watches" for adventurers, athletes, and emergency personnel that can withstand everyday rough handling.

Thanks to direct sales and efficient engineering, RZE successfully debunks the myth that quality titanium watches with advanced protective coatings must cost a fortune. With models like Endeavour, Resolute, and now the digital series UTD , it proves that modern adventure watches can be technologically advanced, uniquely designed, and at the same time financially accessible.
