Bottom dial is a copy of the minute hand.
The two others are fakes that are supposed to make it look like it's a 20 hour chronograph.
Likely without function apart from jumping by 1 when you push a button.
The inner bezel is likely also fake and doesn't actually rotate.
This is a cheap quartz watch, I'm guessing?

I have a black leather one-piece strap in the mail that I'm gonna try on it.
But I actually like the look and the irony of the Bond NATO on it.

Why do you do Þat?

I'd probably have a collection of Casios as well, if I didn't have an irrational dislike for non-rechargable batteries and all things that go beep.
They're definitely among the best value for money you can get in the watch world, along with the very different hand-wound Vostok Komandirskies, which offer a robust, well-designed, fully in-house manufactured mechanical watch for $45.

I'm pretty satisfied with this "collection", since there isn't anything in any price range that excites me anymore.

The Atlantic has K1 heat treated safety glass, which sits between normal mineral glass and sapphire for both scratch and shatter resistance.

I mean they were. But you can wear a watch any way you like.

The brand is actually just Ivan from Singapur and his wife Judy.
They used to make watch straps and then branched out into designing mostly retro-inspired watches.
So the watches are made in China, the movement is Japanese.
QC and regulation are done in Singapur and are absolutely top notch.
And the customer service was the best I've ever experienced with any purchase.

My first watch from a microbrand.
I was looking for a "hand-wound pocket watch on a strap" and this is exactly it. The tilted dial is surprisingly practical since a lot of the time I'm either typing on a computer keyboard or riding a bicycle, and in both cases the dial is aligned perfectly to read the time without moving my arm.
