The Colt Automatic watch has a rugged design that pays homage to its original purpose as a military timepiece. The bezel is brushed with satin and has four tabs for easy handling and protection for the sapphire crystal that is anti-glare on both sides. The dials come in black, blue, or silver with a raised circular pattern. The steel case is polished and can withstand water up to 200 m (660 ft) with a screw-locked crown for extra protection. Inside, there's a self-winding movement that is certified as a chronometer. The specific model, A1738811|BD44, features a Volcano Black dial.
