NATO NA3-24
The NA3-24 has the 24 hour dial and 12 hour bezel combination. The NATO is without doubt one of the most reliable watches you could choose to wear in the field of combat. The 24 hour dial and 12 hour bezel combination enable you to set the watch in two time zones as well as allowing you to set critical and accurate elapsed time deadlines. The high build quality of the NATO will cope with just about anything you throw at it during training or in the combat theatre.

Design and manufacturing philosophy
Nite watch design is driven by three main considerations, integrity, innovation and ownership. They are manufactured to exacting standards using the best possible materials, production methods and specifications to create watches in a class of their own. Our design aesthetics are strikingly simple and universally appealing resulting in a compelling ownership proposition.
Gaseous Tritium Light Source GTLS illumination
All Nite watches feature a rare illumination technology called GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Source). This highly specialised technology is also used in advanced military hardware and pioneering safety equipment where a guaranteed light source is needed for safe operations in all hazardous environments and conditions.
Electrons emitted from the tritium gas excite the phosphorous coated lining of the GTLS to produce a continuous cold light source that will typically last between 10 and 20 years.
All of our watches contain unique GTLS elements allowing you to see the time no matter the situation.
MBS System, a Nite Innovation
The Patented MBS technology is incredibly versatile and user friendly and allows Nite watch owners to create a new look and style of their watch by quickly and easily changing the bezel.
There are currently 13 different bezel options in the range and each of these is interchangeable between all of the Nite MBS models.
In addition, you can also change over the strap or bracelet to completely alter the appearance of your watch.
The MBS system is currently under development and will be available soon.
316 Aviation Grade Stainless Steel
All cases, bezels and bracelets are constructed from aviation (standard) grade 316 stainless steel, providing a platform for optimum durability.
We use 316 steel to ensure our watches withstand the rigours of adventure and the extreme lives you live.
No expense is spared in ensuring that our watches are manufactured to exact tolerances resulting in a truly finish that's as rugged as it is beautiful.
Triple Coated Sapphire and K1 Lenses
There are three types of crystals, acrylic, mineral and sapphire - the most expensive and durable. Sapphire is approximately three times harder than mineral and twenty times harder than acrylic.
Some Nite watches feature K1 Mineral glass, which is also exceptionally tough and highly scratch resistant.
The sapphire lenses on all of our adventure watches are very thick and have a triple anti reflective coating on the inner surface to prevent glare.
Swiss Movements & Chronographs
Swiss made chronograph and analogue movements are provided by Ronda, one of the world's leading movement manufacturers.
Reliability, durability and of course accuracy were the most important concerns when we selected Ronda and once again have helped to make Nite a brand you can truly rely on, no matter your lifestyle.
NATO Approved Stock Numbers
Nite watches are recognised military quality products and some benefit from having an official NATO stock number.
Up to 10 year Battery Life
Lithium batteries provide up to ten years battery life in some models. Models with silver oxide batteries have an estimated battery life of 4 to 6 years.
300m Water Resistance & Double Seal
Our watches have been tested in the most extreme situations that we could create and water resistance was top of the list with our customers requests.
We've achieved 300m water resistance by using a special double sealing process that will ensure you can rely on your nite watch whatever the situation.
Double Polymer Band & Twin Buckle
Tough hard wearing polymer straps feature a double-toothed solid stainless steel buckle and 'over-locking loop' facility. The material is pliable, comfortable and extremely hard wearing.
Screw in Lug Pins
The solid stainless steel screw pins we use to attach the straps and bracelets to each watch case is crucial. Put simply, the system is extremely easy to use, very reliable and far more aesthetically pleasing.
This feature is included in all of our models apart from the ICON range.
Private Label Customisation
We can provide larger organisations with a Private Labelling service that allows the case-back and dial uniquely manufactured and designed with a logo or brand name.
This service applies to orders of over 200 watches.
