It runs a high-accuracy Japanese quartz caliber, the Seiko VH31, with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a GMT function for tracking a second time zone.

Yes. This Hemel is sourced through Shopify Collective and Hemel's verified channel, so it ships brand-new, boxed and backed by a 2-year limited warranty. US orders include free insured shipping.
Bought the Navigator for my son's 30th birthday. He likes vintage military gear and got a kick out of the wire-free no-lug case design where the leather strap tucks straight under the 40mm steel body. He wears it to work every day.

Easy to read on the water
Put a waterproof NATO on this Navigator for weekend sailing on Long Island Sound. The high-contrast dial is readable at a quick glance, the 100m rating handles spray with zero issues, and the Seiko VH31 meca-quartz ticks four times a second like an automatic.

Hemel Navigator 40mm VH31 Sweep Quartz
Working around boats and docks, I like that this 40mm wire-lugless case has no protruding lugs to catch on lines. The 100m water resistance, flat sapphire crystal, and stark black-and-white dial legibility make it a great outdoor beater.

Great field piece for lake weekends
Took the Navigator up to the Boundary Waters for a four-day canoe trip. The 100m water resistance, high-contrast dial, and no-lug 40mm steel case meant it never snagged on gear or paddle straps, and the VH31 sweep seconds hand is neat to watch around camp.

No lugs makes it wear great
The 40mm lugless case sits super clean on my wrist. Love the sweep seconds.
