Design and Performance Enhancements
Built for Modern Demands
The P656 watches incorporate significant upgrades inspired by mid-1990s designs:
- Crystal: Shatter-resistant sapphire with anti-reflective coating.
- Water Resistance: Upgraded from 30m (1990s models) to 300m.
- Magnetic Resistance: 18.8 Oe for durability in magnetic environments.
- Shock Resistance: Complies with NIHS 91-10 standards.
Additional Features
- Screw-Down Locking Crown and Caseback: Ensures maximum durability and water resistance.
- High-Visibility Bezel Numerals: Easy to read in low-light conditions.
- Optimized Dial: Designed for readability in adverse lighting.
- Swiss Tritium GTLS: Provides brighter illumination compared to conventional luminous paint.
Covert PVD Finish
- Special Coating: Matte black, non-reflective PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish for covert operations by special forces, anti-terrorist units, and police forces.
- Durability: Chemically bonded to the metal for long-lasting performance under harsh conditions.
- Resilience: The finish typically remains intact for years, even under extreme abrasion.
Dual Time Zone Tracking
Effortless Adjustment
The P656 features a 12-hour bezel for simplified dual time zone tracking:
- Offset the bezel by the required hours to track a second time zone.
- Example: In Paris, align "9 o'clock" on the bezel with the 3-hour marker to track Miami (6 hours behind).
This design maintains the 300m water resistance and classic diver watch aesthetics while enhancing versatility.
Benefits of Sapphire Crystal
Synthetic sapphire is an industry-leading material for watch crystals, offering:
- Reliability: Ideal for military personnel, law enforcement, and outdoor enthusiasts.
- Enhanced Strength: Heat-treated sapphire provides superior durability compared to plexiglass or mineral glass.
- Anti-Reflective Coating: Ensures optimal visibility under all conditions.
The History of MIL-W-46374-G Watches and the P656
The P656 series traces its heritage to the MIL-W-46374F military specification, first issued on October 14, 1991. Further refinements to the specification during the mid-1990s resulted in the Stocker & Yale P650 Navigator, a highly regarded military timepiece developed for demanding operational use. The P656 carries forward many of the principles that made the original P650 such a successful and enduring design, as illustrated in the final image.
