Bold, impactful timepieces like the ADPT Series 1 Dual-Time Watches, available from the Worn & Wound WindUp Store, are the sort of accessory that we regularly gravitate towards here at The Coolector. Great value for money (at just $499) and eye-catching in the extreme, these newly released timepieces from ADPT will turn heads everywhere you go and deliver the sort of adventure-ready performance that today’s modern man demands.

The ADPT Series 1 Dual-Time Watches ($499) are available in two, equally striking colours – namely, Aqua Berry and Mossy Shale – and they are engineered to be versatile for All Day, Purpose, and Terrain use. Now equipped with the Seiko NH34 automatic movement, these watches boast an independent 24-hour hand, enhancing their functionality significantly. This addition allows for a variety of uses, from monitoring a second timezone to employing the watch as a compass, broadening the utility and appeal of these timepieces.

The introduction of the new movement for the Dual-Time Watches from ADPT is accompanied by an updated bezel that features a 120-click uni-directional mechanism. The bezel insert is comprehensively indexed, featuring both a conventional minute track and cardinal points for compass navigation. Moreover, the anodized aluminium inserts are cleverly divided to represent day and night on a 24-hour scale, enhancing the watch’s functionality and visual appeal.

The ADPT Series 1 Dual-Time watches blend impressive specifications and functionality with a modern, outdoor adventure-inspired aesthetic. These timepieces feature dials that artfully combine textures and layers, adorned with large markers and striking hands. They strike a perfect balance between style and readability, making them distinctive, fashionable, and easily legible.

Constructed with a lightweight titanium case, the ADPT Series 1 Dual-Time Watches ensure comfort throughout the day, both on land and underwater, boasting a water resistance of 200 meters. With dimensions of 38mm (38.5mm at the bezel) x 44mm x 13.6mm in thickness, their faceted barrel cases are ideally proportioned to suit wrists of various sizes and preferences.
