Damasko DA36

Damasko is mostly known to WIS/ to those who are serious in watches. In the past they have been responsible for making watch cases for Sinn(another awesome brand). They started making watches in the 90s and became more known when they introduced the Damasko DA36 to the watch world. They sold this watch around 2006. It sold out immediately, selling 300-500 watches and stopped selling temporarily. At that time it was really hard to come by one. People had to wait for months to get one.(maybe problem with getting movements) You just have to look at the spec sheet to know why this watch is sought after by many WIS.

This watch has so much technical innovations. Ice hardened stainless steel case which is 4x harder than average stainless steel.  Anti-magnetic to 80,000 A/m. All gaskets are Viton™ seals. Scratch resistant damast coating.(not a single scratch on the case since I got it mid last year)

This is the first watch I acquired since becoming more serious in watch collecting. It is also my favorite watch. I love the rugged look, the neon yellow seconds hand, readability and really cool interpretation to a modern Pilot watch. It's my everyday watch and it's a permanent stay in my collection.
