Our signature colour. We couldn’t resist.

This specific NIVO (Night Invisible Varnish, Orfordness) colour-way was  uncovered whilst researching the use of specific military colours beyond the usual olive drab, black, and desert shades.

Originally made from a combination of yellow ochre, pigment white 5, and ultramarine blue, NIVO was originally developed at Orfordness experimental station as a paint for British bombers that matched both the colour and gloss level of open water at night.

A hardworking vintage-sized watch case with the blue-green-grey NIVO colour dial designed originally in Sussex in the interwar period as Night Invisible Varnish Orfordness - a paint colour designed for night bombers to mimic the colour and reflectivity of open water on a moonlit night.

Supplied on a non fitted ends pale genuine Alcantara strap to bring out the most of the dial colour, but all the other Arne straps will also fit if you prefer a darker brown option with or without a bund sleeve.

Our signature NIVO dial colour in a 38mm field watch. We just couldn't say no to adding this twist to our field watch.
