This is a special watch designed for firefighters, which fills the gap of professional chronograph watches in the field of fire protection. The overall shape is inspired by the fire safety valve, which means the valve of life that races against time. It boasts diving-grade sealing, high temperature resistance and waterproof function better than ordinary watches. It can be automatically dried, dehumidified and defogged, which can effectively help firefighters perform operations, improve work efficiency, and provide reliable protection for firefighting.


The silicic acid and argon gas, combined with the structure of the automatic exhaust valve of the diving watch, is adopted to dehumidify efficiently, but is harmless to the human body. The case is equipped with an air intake and exhaust device, where argon is injected into to reduce thermal conductivity, prevent the high temperature difference, and prevent the mirror from fogging. The drying chamber has a built-in silicic acid dehumidification material, which can absorb the moisture inside for a long time, to remove the moisture of the watch body. The warning window can observe the color change of silicic acid and be replaced in time. The product also uses diving watch sealing technology to ensure the waterproof function of fire protection and high humidity environment.


The watch strap is made of aramid, a special flame retardant material used in firefighter belts. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance and chemical resistance. The lengthened design is suitable for wearing outside firefighting suits. The case has a built-in EPOXY thermal insulation layer, which effectively slows down heat transfer and has better high temperature resistance to ensure the stable operation of the movement. In addition, the innovative U-shaped shockproof ring can effectively reduce the damage caused by the impact force, to protect the movement around the circumference, and increase the stability of the watch in the needs of multi-scenario applications.


The overall shape is inspired by the fire safety valve, which means the valve of life racing against time. The dial has a multi-layered structure, with the surrounding ladder design, the hollow phoenix totem in the center.
