RVLVR

RVLVR is a Micro watch brand founded by Mr Dan Uchida in Hawaii. RVLVR was formed out of inspiration from the classic handgun, the revolver.Their mission was to make a watch that was simple, precise, and built to last.

(Do note this is the earlier prototype photo with the window at 3 on the dial.) 

RVLVR AD5

RVLVR  AD5 watch project is partnered with leading firearms manufacturer- Magnum Research and drew inspiration from their most powerful production single action 5 chamber revolver called the Biggest Finest Revolver, otherwise known as the BFR.  

This aspect leads to the 5 bullet chambers of the BFR as shown on the watch dial. 

Bezel

 

The bezel is inspired by the 6 rounds chamber which is 120 clicks to rotation.

Conclusion (RVLVR AD5)

A watch with a 44mm dimension might seem large for the wrist, however this one wears comfortably on the wrist and the design is something very unique. It is a tool watch that exhibits rugged masculinity.

A revolver inspired diver watch is probably one of the first in the watch industry. We can look forward to more cool designs coming from RVLVR.
