RZE's Resolute Type A: A Modern Take on a Classic Pilot's Watch
The Sky's the Limit for RZE's Newest Adventure Watch
RZE Watches, a Singaporean brand known for its affordable and adventure-ready watches, is taking to the skies with its newest release, the Resolute Type A. This watch is a modern twist on the classic German flieger, designed with pilots in mind. But here's where it gets controversial: is it too similar to other flieger watches on the market?
The Resolute Type A features a highly legible dial with distinctive hands, a triangle flanked by two dots at 12:00, and bold numerical hour markers. It's crafted from Grade 2 titanium with RZE's proprietary UltraHex hard coating, ensuring durability and scratch resistance. The caseback reveals a Miyota Caliber 82S0 automatic movement, offering a 40-hour power reserve and a reputable workhorse performance.
The watch comes in three dial colors: yellow, black, and glossy white. Each dial has a unique aesthetic, with the yellow dial featuring a coarse texture and black minutes track, the black dial blending into the hour track with creamy off-white markers, and the glossy white dial offering a monotone modern look. The yellow and black dials come with TecTuff straps, while the glossy white dial comes with a green TecTuff strap.
The Resolute Type A is an RZE watch through and through, with a prominent, rounded bezel and sharply angled lugs. It's priced at $499 with a TecTuff strap and $699 with a titanium bracelet, and preorders are set to open on March 20th. But is it worth the price? That's a question for you, the reader, to decide. Do you think RZE has hit the mark with this modern flieger watch, or is it too similar to other designs? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
