The MTM Watch: Function and Fashion, Part 2
If any of you watch (excuse the pun!) the television series “24” or have just seen it before, you will notice that Kiefer Sutherland, who plays Jack Bauer wears one of the special ops watches. So next time you watch that series, look out for it if you want a bit of a sneak peek!
[DFR::459554516-14210-ss|align_right_1]Here are just a few things that make the MTM special ops watch so unique, it has a luminescence feature that allows you to read the time in complete darkness. The light lasts just five seconds which is enough for you to check the time. This MTM Blackhawk watch is also rechargeable. It charges by it being putt onto a pedestal like object, or anywhere where it is possible for the back of the case to rest on the charger and the bracelet part of it hangs below. The battery will only take about eight hours to fully charge but it is better to leave on charge throughout the night. That way the battery should last you at least a month and that is if you use the luminescence light once a day. It also has a rotating bezel that is used if you wish to time something. It really comes in handy! When the battery is low the watch will tell you that by the second hand jumping ahead by two seconds. That does not mean that the time will eventually become wrong, it will not affect the time at all.
The special ops watch is also water resistant up to three hundred and thirty feet. The water will not be able to get inside the watch as the crown screws keep it locked tightly.
There are several different types of these MTM watches, including the MTM Blackhawk and the Thunderhawk.
