Gin Clear 3
$1,325
Australian indie born from a mid-career leap — Peter Sargison traded tech consulting for watchmaking and built Second Hour in small batches. The Gin Clear 3 gets serious: Sellita SW200 regulated to four-position spec, full 300m ISO dive rating, and a 316L case hardened to 1200 Vickers so the finish actually lasts. The ball-bearing bezel clicks with purpose, Swiss BGW9 SuperLuminova blazes in the dark, and at A$1,325 it undercuts comparable European dive watches by a country mile.
