These are $400 USD each. Proceeds will go to the Special Forces Association, Chapter 7. However, SFA, Chapter 7, will only have 25 of each on hand. So, if you'd like to pre-order them, VISIT THIS LINK: http://www.sfa7.com/SF_Watches_by_NFW_____.html
The watches will be manufactured so that they are available in October 2011. The reserve deposit is $100, payable to the SFA, Chapter 7.
Specs:
Size: 44 mm across (for reference, the most current Rolex Submariner is 40 mm)
Movement: The new Miyota 9015 movement. High Beat Automatic. 28,800 VPH (Vibrations Per Hour), which means that it has the same sweeping second hand that you may see in other automatic watches with high-beat movements (Omega, Rolex, etc.). And, of course, "automatic" means that it does not need a battery; it's self winding as you use the watch (what Seiko calls a "kinetic" movement).
Crystal: Sapphire crystal front and back (display case back - you can see the movement and rotor).
Dial: Carbon Fiber with clear coat. The hour indices and hands are coated with Super Luminova (same material used by Tissot, Omega, Rolex, Reactor, etc.)
Strap: Heavy Duty thick rubber strap; PVD buckle. But, if you wish, you can upgrade to a black PVD metal bracelet by contacting NFW directly (www.nfwonline.com)
Water Resistance: 200 meters. It features a 2 gasket seal system via the screw-down crown.
