Draken Tugela Double Drab Automatic Diver 42mm #69609

Draken makes watches for people who actually use them. The Tugela — named after the iconic South African river that carves through the Drakensberg mountains — is a purpose-built dive watch that takes no shortcuts and makes no apologies. The Double Drab variant pairs a deep green ceramic-feel bezel with a dark military dial for a look that’s as at home in the field as it is on a dinner table.

Under the sapphire crystal, the dial is clean and purposeful — Swiss Super-LumiNova applied directly to the surface keeps things legible in the dark, with bold geometric indices and a vivid red-tipped seconds hand that makes the Seiko NH35A automatic movement impossible to ignore. The 120-click unidirectional bezel delivers a crisp, satisfying click with zero play. The 7mm knurled crown is signed with Draken’s luminous dragon logo — a detail that rewards those who look closely. Flip it over and you’ll find the Drakensberg mountains and Tugela River engraved on the case back.

Rated to 300 metres water resistance with Viton gaskets and a screw-down crown, this is a watch that means business. This example was purchased 31 July 2025 and carries warranty until 31 July 2027 — nearly two full years remaining.
