The Invertor II Automatic allows you to see the rotor at the top of the dial while also reading the time in a side viewing window similar to retro driving watches. A glance through the top sapphire crystal shows our custom crafted rotor complete with striking Super-LumiNova seen in the dark. The watch is powered by a skeletonized Japanese automatic movement on full display through the crystal. The space pod-like case features a side viewing window that tells the time in a unique linear format. This novel display utilizes a revolving drum to show the time in increasing 15-minute increments with 5-minute marks printed on the top. The strap is made from the best American-made Horween leather with a built-in quick-release system for easy strap changes.
