Marksman Shooting Watch

The Marksman is a mechanical tool watch built for people who send rounds long distances, in wind, under pressure, and want their reference data where they can actually use it—on the wrist, not buried in a phone or a PDF.

It’s a simple Seiko automatic under the hood, with a dial that carries crosswind correction multipliers and MIL↔MOA conversions, so you’re not doing cosine math in your head when you should be breaking the shot.

What it is

Mechanical Seiko automatic (NH35A)
Marksman dial with:
- Crosswind correction multipliers on the outer track
- MIL-to-MOA conversion reference on the inner track
Built specifically for long-range shooting, not as a fashion piece

You can order it with either:

The OUTCAST multi-purpose bezel, or
A standard elapsed “dive” bezel if you just want simple timing

How the dial works

The whole point of this watch is the dial. It gives you two fast look-ups: crosswind multipliers and MIL↔MOA.

1. Crosswind correction (outer track)

The numbers around the edge of the dial are crosswind correction factors—the same cosine values you’d use in a ballistic calculator.

How you use it:

Treat the wind direction like a clock (12 o’clock is straight in your face, 6 o’clock is from behind, 3 and 9 are full-value crosswind).
Look at the hour on the dial that matches the wind direction (1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock, etc.).
Multiply your full-value wind hold by the number printed there.

That gives you the effective crosswind to plug into your data.

Example: 10 mph wind from 3 o’clock → factor is 1.0 → you use the full 10.
Example: 10 mph wind from 1–2 o’clock → factor is ~0.5–0.7 → you hold for 5–7 mph instead of the full 10.

You don’t have to remember the chart. It’s on the dial.

2. MIL ↔ MOA conversion (inner track)

The inner track is a quick MIL-to-MOA reference.

Treat the hour markers as MILS.
For a given MIL value, look straight in toward the center to find the MOA equivalent printed on the inner track.

Example:

Your data or spotter calls for 5 MILs but your scope is in MOA.
Look at the 5 o’clock position on the dial, then read the number paired with it on the inner track.
That’s your MOA value—no phone, no chart, no rough guessing.

The idea is simple: the watch keeps the “back-of-envelope” math visible so your brain can stay on the target and the conditions.

Case, movement, and bezel options

Movement: Seiko NH35A automatic – hacking, hand-winding, proven, and serviceable.
Case styles:
- 39mm Explorer-style case – compact and low-profile
- Sub-style rotating-bezel case – for use with the OUTCAST or dive bezel
Finishes: Stainless steel or PVD black
Bezels:
- OUTCAST multi-purpose bezel (for timing, compass, tides, etc.)
- Standard elapsed “dive” bezel (if you just need simple timing)

You pick the case style, finish, bezel, and strap when you order.

How ordering works

This is built to order:

Choose case style, finish, bezel type, and strap/bracelet.
We pull the parts from the next batch, assemble, and test the watch.
It ships once it passes a full function check.

No marketing story about “limited editions.” It’s simple: we only build what someone is actually waiting on.

Where it came from

The Marksman dial started as a way to keep real shooting data visible in the field: wind angles, crosswind multipliers, and MIL/MOA conversions in a place you can check without digging for a phone.

The watch around it is deliberately boring in the best way—reliable Seiko automatic, proven cases, and bezels that already survived a fully funded campaign with zero returns. Your rifle and your dope are the interesting part. The watch is the reference tool that quietly does its job every time you look at it.
