Aragon Hiro - 48mm dia and 16mm thick with 24mm bracelet and diamond shaped crown. SII NH36 under the dial. Lug length isn't much bigger than that at 53.5mm. Arabic hour markers are 3-D raised and fully luminescent, which may require the high pinion variant of the movement. Crystal is thick, domed K1 hardened mineral glass and domed. Iridescent sunburst blue on this one. Working on lume shot. Wing is currently selling these at $99 for the watch head. Add $45 for the bracelet or $10-$25 for a strap, depending on which strap. Interesting concept to add whatever you want for wrist attachment. $144 total on heavy stainless steel is still very hard to beat with a sharp stick considering the movement inside. I'd characterize it as a faux field watch - using "faux" only because of its size.

 That's a big'un, John. Cool crown, too! I like any watch that has complete arabics for markers.  Looking forward to the lume shot! |

ISO 2500, f/1.8 @ 1/4 sec hand held. Has all the ISO 2500 noise you'd expect with f/1.8's zero depth of field.  Day/date changeover just beginning to engage.  |

Yours is 48 mm, which would be good handling if the watch would be maximum 14 mm high. My Marina Militare is even thicker (16,6 mm) but is only 44 mm ø. I have with this and other heavier watches, even 44 mm ones, when they are so heavy, that in the evening when I'm watching TV series with Paula, that I find myself unstrapping those heavy dudes and put them on the couch next to me... 
My Aragon Sea Charger is probably hitting the watch forum markets in not to long time, just 44 mm, but 18 mm towering high!  A shame, as like I said, I like his designs and colors and they are so well made... |

Veeeeeery interesting. Simple execution with the bold crown looking like a jewel on the side. Such an easily read dial as well... nice choice!

Even better than complete arabics is complete lumed arabics!  |
