introducing the all-new and improved RZE Resolute back again for another generation
this time oh boy do we have a looker this titanium field watch is a sharp sporty do-it-all watch but
at $399USD has rze done enough to separate themselves from the herd?... Let's check it
out the case and bracelet are both completely covered in satiny smooth brushing it feels
fantastic now I never held the first gen but this feels excellent in the hand much better
than the endeavor which had that bead blasted finish I much prefer this one with titanium it
can almost fool you almost that it's stainless steel now rze's signature design theme is strong
here with that beautiful angular design element that just comes out of the mid case seamlessly
it gives the watch a symmetrical look with those crown guards of course the crown guards are larger
because they're functional but the way they added that design element just completes the look pair
that up in combination with the eggshell white symmetrical no date dial you have a handsome
well thought out timepiece on your hands the case and bracelet are coated with ultra hex
what's ultra hex 1200Hv in hardness okay so normal non-hardened stainless steel watch would be about
150. so if you're worried about the scratching don't it's going to look new for a very long time
I found the watch to wear extremely comfortable and I really enjoyed my time with it pre-orders
begin march 14 so in 10 days on their website no Kickstarter more good news I know many people not
fans of Kickstarter well rze even though they're a young brand they're well established now
and with many successful watches under their belt they know what they're doing
and they build a quality timepiece these are the measurements that I got 40 millimeters in diameter
thickness of 10.5 so that's about a mill thinner than the first generation resolute
okay so that's going to be a hint right there two millimeters thinner than the endeavor I believe
lug to lug of 46 exactly the same as the skx we do have drilled lugs this thing is going to wear
like a dream 20mm lugs on the titanium bracelet h-link fantastic articulation as you can see there
screwed links solid links solid end links and a milled clasp simple fold-over with friction
and it's friction here too wish they had a dual button release I'm not a fan of friction we got
four micro adjusts a little bit tight on that last micro adjust as you can see there I had the same
issue with the endeavor but this is a prototype secret measurement on this watch 38 millimeters
even and for those of you who are new to the channel secret measurement is
the bezel measurement so that's what our eye visually sees and it gives us a better feel of
how the watch might wear on our wrist this watch I believe though wears more like a 40 39-ish because
it has that all dial look which gives it a bigger look even though the secret measurement comes in
at 38 but we're going to be seeing macros from a distance of this watch on my six and a half inch
wrist and you guys be the judge this field watch has a large grippy titanium signed crown at 7.5
millimeters giving the watch 100 meters of water resistance we have a flat sapphire crystal with
a nice tiny bevel all the way around with super ar it's hard to tell how good the ar is doing on
a white dial but it seems pretty good now the dial enhanced big changes here before it was all batons
and now you can see the iconic 369 and a triangle at the 12 but it's not really a triangle the sharp
edges are cut off bluntly giving it that nice iron man look all the indices actually have that nice
cut off we got black baton style hands that match the indices it really pops on that white dial
black rze logo and just 100 meters automatic under the opinion big fan of the 369 it looks great and
more of a field watch vibe the first resolute they called it field watch but it didn't have Arabic's
I feel like a field watch needs Arabic's so this is a nice step towards becoming more of a field
watch in my eyes we got a printed black chaptering and the cardinal positions have Arabic so 60 15 30
and 45. the rest are hash marks very nice now guys you also get this nice canvas strap in army green
all right leather on the inside with reinforced holes
I believe the first one didn't have the reinforced holes so this one is a nice upgrade
sized up for my six and a half inch wrist full titanium three what 91 grams under 100 amazing
the big change between generation one and two is the movement you can hear it it's a high beat or
medium beat 28 eight vph 24 joules hack and wine automatic 42 hours of power reserve and that can
only mean one thing it's the miyota 9000 series this one is a no date no ghost position 90s5 is
the actual movement code and look at these numbers ooh plus 10 as the fourth or fifth and final round
strong amplitude though okay we're gonna do 12 down now to see the positional variance
how is this new miyota gonna react on your wrist and as we can tell it's a little bit faster the
amplitude did drop but the b air went up perfect flat line 0.0 very nice but the rate is a bit high
so these are officially rated at plus 30 minus 10 and the nh35 that it used to be
was plus 40 minus 20 and is 35 so the movement is better by 10 seconds on the positive and negative
okay there is the loom shot and wow it is a loomed dial c3 loom all right so not
x1 but still decently strong and it looks like bgw9 on the hands and indices on the Arabic's and
at 12. alright so pretty good loom the resolute has kept everything you loved about the first gen
the strong titanium the ultra hex coating the sapphire the 100 meters but this time
they added that medium to high beat 28 vph they made the watch thinner they kept the Viton gasket
and the broader handset for legibility I think the resolute makes a great case for itself being
one of your go-to titanium field watches now it looks a little bit more field-like with
those Arabic's on the dial there's going to be a couple colorways make sure to check out
