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.

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.
