I think this new version is a huge upgrade in every respect over the old one. I prefer the brushed case over the bead blasted, the movement is much better and I really like the nod towards the Explorer design.

Really enjoy my endeavour. Like the changes here, but the bezel looks puffy on the new one which is odd to me. Agree with clasp, wish buttons, or/and on the fly adjustment. Do like the brushed finish but think its lost an edge that the older models had, like you say. Great balanced review

Design wise, I would give it to the old one. I think the old one looks better in almost every design aspect, hands, indices, dial, bezel etc. The only thing that draws me towards the new one is the movement. There's nothing too bad about NH35, but for some reason I kinda try to as much as possible avoid it if I can. I wish they've retained the old design but with miyota inside

I have the first version and it's one of the best watches I ever had. 0 scrathes, amazing accuracy from this NH35 (+2 sec/day), lightweight, incredible lume and very comfy. I have to say that I don't like the new version - the hands are too thin in proportion to the "digits" which are way too thick for the overall design and also the original finishing was more "toolish", I less like the new "shine".

your spot on when you said that it was missing the date which has to be at the 6 o’clock position to maintain dial symmetry, funny you mentioned the clasp as I brought this up with RZE who I think will be changing it. I would also like to see the titanium polished like the Casio Oceanus watches.

Good thing they made a no-date version. However, the original markers gave it more personality, made it more exclusive, imho. I've pre-ordered one and I'm really curious whether or not I am going to really dig it, once I 'll be able to wear it. I initially chose the grey one, but eventually changed my order to the green dial. And I'm still not sure if this is the right choice..... In a few hours the Axios Tribune will be out....so maybe I'll.....pffff

if you want an explorer, get a Rolex. I like the original, bottom line the original had a true identity. The new version, is just what it is, a cheap version of something you wish you could afford. Rolex, is not all that, I own a Rolex GMT II coke dial from 2005. Yeah its nice but its not my favorite watch out of my collection.

@RelativeTime

I belive it's a std grade movement. So should be the same as about any std grade movment. In spec probably ranges from -10 to + 30 sec a day. Although that's just whats considered in spec. Hopefully individual watches are better then that, but it's always luck of the draw. With this specific one I didn't measure the accuracy. I stoped doing that with prototypes a while ago as I wasn't sure how relevant it was to something coming out of production. As for purchasing one. Do you mean the watch or the movement? The watch go to: www.rzewatches.com/pages/rze-resolute-2022-titanium-field-watch Movement... not sure. eBay always seems to have some. Maybe www.esslinger.com/

Much better and more interesting watch. However, it needs more interesting hands, and an OPEN caseback. Who wants to invest this much money and get a closed case back? Open case backs should always be standard, with a closed back offered as an option. But too much money with these hands and a closed back. But a nice watch.

How would this compare against SWC Bunker or Ark?
@RelativeTime
2 жыл бұрын
A great question! It's been a bit since I've seen the Bunker.... so going off memory here. I think the bunker is going to be more of a traditional style WWII field watch, but in a modern TI case. The dial is printed rather then applied indices, so it will look / feel flatter. Yet the lume on it is CRAZY good! Where the V2 of the Resolute is going to be a mix of a modern very geometric case and an explorer like dial. An intersting combo. The applied incidces on this one also really pop, and that will be noticable against the bunker. None of the colorways for the Resolute are "normal", so that might be a negative depending on where you want to wear it. Yet the unsual choices do stand out more. Two very different takes, yet both can fufil the same purpose in a collection. I think the resolute looks better, but the bunker is a better buy, and maybe more versatile... maybe... As for the Ark. The lower price and quartz movement with sub second hand put it in a slightly different category. But otherwise most of what I said about the Bunker applies to it.

I have the bunker and got the original reise from Kickstarter. I prefer the reise - it's a 40 instead of the bunkers 42. Also the dial on the bunker marks very easy (I think it's something to do with the ar coating being on both sides of the sapphire crystal)
