New Product Announcement

NITE Watches first Swiss-made Automatic watch, the Atlas, will be available on general sale on 1st May 2023. As a NITE subscriber, you will have the chance to purchase one of the first 100 manufactured. Details coming soon.

The Atlas has all the characteristics you would expect from a NITE Watch - tough, accurate and highly legible due to its tritium illumination. This is a no-nonsense, bold, robust, utilitarian field watch that could survive the demands of the military and thrive on adventures.

Celebrating our 20 years of designing and manufacturing classic-inspired watches. The Atlas is inspired by the MX10, our original field watch, previously standard issue to the UK Special Forces.

The Atlas design is influenced by the "Dirty dozen" field watches. This name was given to a group of 12 watches worn during World War II. They were commissioned by the British Ministry of Defense (MoD) when they ordered custom-built watches that needed to be capable of performing in the field.

Twelve companies, the Dirty Dozen, would fulfil this brief, responding to strict performance specifications, including waterproofing, regulation to chronometer specification, luminous markings on the dial and robust case construction.
