Solid watch with handsome styling with a cool background. Couldn’t take it off for the first few weeks after getting it. I personally like having the ability to track a second Timezone whether it’s Zulu time or my buddies time on deployment. I like it have a quartz movement for reliability and simplicity sake, never had a quartz watch break on me on deployment. Price is a slim bit high for the specific movement choice but Sangin isn’t like Seiko or Citizen with millions of dollars at their dispo...

Love the watch Jake. My friend and I kept our eyes peeled on the waitlist for while. As soon as we both saw that new stock was available, we didn't waste a minute. Looking forward to sharing photos using the overlord while hunting in Montana this June. Always faithful, -Max

It’s a great watch. Simple to use and large to see. The GMT is perfect. I wish maybe the lume would’ve been green instead of blue. I think the green lasts longer. And a date window somewhere between 3 and 6 o clock would be neat. I actually like that it doesn’t have a bezel and the glass is super scratch resistant. Twice already I thought I might have accidentally scratched it and banged it against something but no sign of anything, so I’m pretty impressed with that. It’s not my first purchase f...

Great service. Amazing watch. Looks better than the pictures and the pictures already look amazing. The watch feels like a high quality piece. It’s looks very rugged but refined. It wears very comfortably and it is light. The strap is awesome, so comfortable and soft. My only regret is that I did not buy 2.

My Overlord was delivered fast & is extremely comfortable to wear. You can absolutely tell it’s meant to last and take a beating! I do however wish the expedition strap it ships with was shorter in length. It’s abnormally long which for someone like me with smaller wrists, causes for a lot of excess strap to try & tuck away. The strap material is very comfortable though.

Loved the new waitlist process. Fast shipment was a plus. First direct buy, Goes great with the K2P I got from the BST group. Will look to add another Sangin to the collection.

Arrived to UK in 1 week. Excellent strap. I already own same strap on my Kinetic pilot and wanted own for my other watch as it is very comfortable and looks good. Excellent strap. Love it.

Over all beautiful. Some gripes though especially for the price. I know quartz is touchy, but my second hand is pretty far off from the tic marks. Also the anti reflective coating is noticeable. At last more noticeable than my Merlin. Possible due to the cut of the crystal.

This is my second Sangin Overlord. I ordered a DLC a few years back, and have always wanted the brushed. The brushed Overlord is truly a timeless classic, and I always get compliments. This is my go-to EDC watch and will be for years to come.

Great watch. Really happy with it, and the customer service I received. I will buy again from Sangin. —— To be honest, I’m a little let down by the strap. It’s begun to fray slightly (it’s only been about two weeks). I also would have liked to see an additional strap in the box, perhaps of a different material like rubber. I understand a metal bracelet would have kicked the cost up dramatically - but for the $500 price point, I don’t think it’s outrageous to have expected more than one strap ...

Slim line, stealthy, well executed go anywhere watch that I expect will keep on keeping on. Understated, clean, and clinical - not a lot to fault for the money. In short, the Overlord is all the watch you’ll ever need. Anything more is superfluous.

The Overlord doesn’t disappoint. Simple, classic with a distinct node to history. As a current service member, this has become my daily driver! I am now anxiously waiting a special Neptune release. Nice work Sangin. I discovered your company from a buddy, another SM, who owns a very well rounded watch collection. After inquiring, finding out the history behind the company and perusing the site this was a no contest decision. I had to have one, and love the small release method. Myself and anothe...

Having spent real time with the Sangin Overlord, I can honestly say it’s one of those watches that keeps getting better the more you wear it. What initially drew me in was the design language—it has that unmistakable military/tool-watch DNA, but it never feels like it’s trying too hard. The heritage inspiration gives it personality, and in a sea of watches that all start to look the same, the Overlord genuinely feels unique. From a collector’s perspective, the value proposition is outstanding. ...

This is a nicely designed watch. The case is very attractive and thin; the knurl on the winding stem is better and more interesting than most watches because it continues onto the beveled edge; the dial and crystal extend almost to the edge of the case, larger than most watches, making it easier to read. I really like how the center of the face and the hands are a matte-black finish which disappears and makes the hands (all four) appear to be floating. A bonus is that the 24-hour hand can be set...

Excellent watch roll. Love the frogskin camo and the tie into WWII. Fits my watches excellent; secure and protective. Perfect for travel and an active lifestyle. Shipped ultra fast. Semper Fi!

Literally the BEST customer service I have ever received in my life. Quick to respond and accommodate any need if possible. I was purchasing The Overlord edition as a wedding gift and didn’t get to the drop fast enough. I reached out to customer service and they helped me secure one for my husband on our wedding day. I can’t express how great this company is and the people in it are. The watch is so well made, beautiful and sharp.

This is my second watch from Sangin and definitely won't be the last. This Overlord is just as beautiful as my Neptune. Sangin makes a solid and quality time piece. If you're still waiting to pick one up I promise it's worth the wait.

I may put a different band on the Overlord. Although I like the OD Green I prefer something for everyday. I've taken a liking to the Garmin Enduro3 watch band and will try to find something similar for the Overlord. Thanks team Sangin!

Great timepiece, very clean classic look with a nostalgic feel. The strap is very comfortable and goes with the case so well, I see no point in changing it. Excellent work from my people at Sangin!

Absolutely love this piece. Great looking field watch. First time wearing this watch was the day my son was born, and had to make sure the watch was in the photos with him. This will be his watch someday!

Nice craftsmanship. Low key, subtle design. Love the layout of the dial. Tough call between brushed and DLC. Both look great on the right band. Comes with a quality band but not a fan of the light green nylon. Reminds me of fake tactical gear found in south Korean markets. Watch holds time well.

Dear Sangin Instruments Team, Please allow me to say that I love my Professional! I think it looks amazing, wears fantastically, and has excellent lume. I can say that I am very satisfied with my purchase. That said, I would like to offer a few pieces of feedback about the buying experience. 1) While I am very happy with my Professional, I was originally looking at purchasing a Neptune. I ultimately ended up going with a Professional given that it was A) available and B) had a price listed. I...

Only two things I wish had been done when I received my watch. (197) One he backing case of the watch is not screwed down straight . Ya I know it’s not going to mess with the function. But I never bought a watch that wasn’t straight and uniformed. Second , the turn dial was really really stiff. After 15-20 turns it worked itself in and rotates well with active clicks. Again it doesn’t affect the function of the watch . Good news watch looks great. Feels great. The action works well and overall, ...

The weight of the watch feels really balanced on the wrist. I love the watch! I love the company! If i could have them all i would. Keep up the great work!

Fellas this watch is fantastic, thank you. A 300M automatic diver at $1500 is really something. Been waiting on the release for quite awhile and was not disappointed. Only thing I’d mention is the bezel was a little sticky for a few days. Seems to have worked itself out, but taking the 12 bezel position through the 50-35 minute rotation initially required a bit of force unlike the rest of the rotation. Like I said, seems to have sorted out now, but just for your info. Thanks for a great watch, c...

First big watch purchase and I don’t regret it at all. Watch came at a reasonable time and looked better in person. Great fit and easy to use. I wear it daily and barely feel it. It’s tough but lightweight. Overall worth the wait and price.

I was on the waitlist for this watch strap for my husband for so long and I am so happy that I was able to purchase it before Christmas this year. It was definitely worth the wait because it is beautiful.

Looks great, does what is needed for basic navigation. It definitely has an old school cool look to it that is reminiscent of similar tools from past conflicts. It has a strong case and functional utility that make it is as useful as those past.

The watch keeps great time, is well put together, and feels more premium than the price tag suggests. The bracelet was easy to resize and wears well. The nato it came with is great; however, it's too long to the point it's unusable. There's a lot of excess strap left over when I'm wearing the watch (my wrist size is around 7"). Overall it's a great watch that offers incredible value.
ATLAS III

It’s very cool, aesthetically pleasing, and robust. I like the addition of the date window in this special edition. The numbers and hands glow in the dark very well throughout the night.

Hands down the best watch for an operator. The Raider Rolex. I have had Rolex for a while and never considered any watch to compete but honesty like this watch better…. It’s made well looked good and performs like a dive watch should. Would recommend The Professional 10/10.

Beautiful time piece. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to add it to my collection. It has a great weight to it and the finishing on the dial is beautiful. This will be my daily watch that I wear everywhere.

I switched from the Kinetic II to the Kinetic II Ti because I prefer automatic watches. Both watches are fantastic, but the Kinetic II Ti is significantly better. My Omega, Rolex, and Tag Heuer are now gathering dust in the closet, while the Ti accompanies me shooting, flying, and sailing. It also looks great when I'm wearing a suit and smoking a cigar in a lounge. There is one drawback, though: if you're not quick enough, someone else buys it, and you have to wait another year or two. :o) I ...

The Professional is a great watch that out of the box was a winner. After a few weeks of wearing it, the Professional has become my favorite watch; the blue face with white hands are great! The NATO strap is great, as well!! Definitely worth the wait. Thanks and Semper Fidelis!

Great Customer Service - I needed to change a few things on my order and they were very attentive and handle my request promptly - Five stars all the way around. Thanks. :)

This is a big watch. Heavy. And I love that. Having owned a Professional, if there’s any disappointment in the Atlas it would be missing the orange minute hand of the Pro. A no-date option would be nice bc it’s so tiny it’s not useful.
ATLAS III

The watch looks great. I don’t have a screwdriver small enough to change the links out to size it yet but I am very happy with it even without being able to wear it.

Ex Navy EOD here - been looking for a watch that fits my past experiences - both as a conversation starter and that I can look at and remember my time in service.
