This bespoke edition of the Durrant has been created exclusively for Special Search Team / NYCD. Built for professionals, the Durrant combines field-ready durability with understated design. Each piece features an engraved caseback and unit dial print. The dial carries the clean, utilitarian aesthetic of the standard Durrant but with subtle, unit-specific detailing unique to this collaboration, including a Sunburst Blue dial with an orange marker and matching second hand. Each watch will come shipped on the rubber strap and have a spare black zulu strap. Watches will be produced and assembled once the order window closes on the 1st August, with delivery estimated at 3–5 months from that point. Please note: Due to the use of a screw-down caseback, engraving orientation cannot be guaranteed.…
