ANAV
Introducing the ANAV
For the Ones Who
Navigate the Depths
& Never Miss the Mark.
The Assistant Navigator, or ANAV, is the unsung mariner of every submarine the one tasked with threading the needle through uncharted waters, blind depths, and unforgiving seabeds. It's their calculations that keep the boat safe, their decisions that keep her off the rocks, and their mastery of celestial, paper, and digital navigation that ensures every mission starts and ends exactly where it’s supposed to.
We made this watch for them.
Designed with Purpose. Made with Respect.
Antique Bronze Case
Weathered, rugged, and steeped in maritime tradition — a nod to old-world sextants and brass-cased compasses. Because timeless tools deserve timeless design.
Flat Sapphire Crystal
Clear, tough, and unforgiving — just like the ANAV’s standard for accuracy. Scratch-resistant and field-proven for clarity under pressure.
Premium Miyota 9015 Automatic Movement
Found in the highest-grade Seiko and Citizen timepieces, this Japanese automatic movement is a precision powerhouse — built for those who understand that seconds count.
Open Caseback with Compass Rose
Turn the watch over and you’ll find the engraved Compass Rose, a universal symbol of true direction, purpose, and guidance.
Nathaniel Bowditch’s Birthday
Etched into the back in quiet tribute to the father of modern navigation — revered by ANAVs as the gold standard for everything under the stars and on the charts.
Inscription: "IN THE BOX, OFF THE ROCKS"
It’s more than a phrase. It’s a mindset. The ultimate motto of a job where the margin for error is measured in meters and the consequences are steel and stone.
For the Navigator Who Charts Without Error
Bowditch said, “You have to go by the book, but you have to write the book first.”
The ANAV lives this truth — turning data into decisions, currents into courses, and chaos into control.
This watch is for every Assistant Navigator who ever spent sleepless nights in the control room, who ever recalculated fixes at flank speed, and who carries the pride of navigating without being seen.
