The BlueNose
Introducing the Bluenose Watch by Tenacity Watches
Honoring the Bold Who Venture North
The Bluenose Watch is more than a timepiece—it’s a tribute to resilience, exploration, and history. Honoring those who have crossed the Arctic Circle and earned their place in the Bluenose tradition, this watch also celebrates a landmark achievement in naval exploration: the USS Skate, the first submarine to surface through the Arctic ice.
On March 17, 1959, the USS Skate (SSN-578) achieved what many thought impossible, breaking through the frozen expanse of the Arctic to surface at the North Pole. This extraordinary feat of engineering and bravery marked a pivotal moment in submarine history and demonstrated the unyielding spirit of exploration that defines the Bluenose tradition.
Exquisite Craftsmanship
Unique Arctic Circle Dial: The Bluenose features a meticulously designed dial with the outline of the Arctic Circle and the North Star at its center—a timeless symbol of guidance and resilience for those who venture into the unknown.
316L Stainless Steel Case: The durable stainless steel case reflects the strength and reliability of submarines like the USS Skate, designed to endure the harshest environments.
Flat Sapphire Glass: Renowned for its clarity and scratch resistance, the sapphire glass protects the watch face while ensuring optimal visibility in any condition.
Water Resistance: With water resistance up to 10ATM (330ft), the Bluenose is built to accompany you on all your adventures, from ocean depths to daily challenges.
Superior Performance
Premium Automatic Movement: Powered by the Miyota 9015 automatic movement, this watch offers unmatched precision and reliability, echoing the advanced engineering of the USS Skate and the submariners who braved the Arctic.
Celebrate an Arctic Legacy
The Bluenose Watch commemorates the rich tradition of Arctic Circle crossings and the groundbreaking achievement of the USS Skate surfacing at the North Pole. It symbolizes the courage, determination, and camaraderie of those who have embraced the challenge of Arctic operations, making it a fitting tribute to the adventurers and pioneers who have ventured where few dare to go.
Each glance at the Bluenose Watch serves as a reminder of the harsh conditions and remarkable feats of those who navigated beneath the ice and pushed the boundaries of exploration.

Customer Reviews
Watch is BEAUTIFUL....and I am super excited to wear it, but I went to put it on yesterday so I could get right fitting/link removed and noticed that it was not keeping time/second hand was not moving. I believe the battery needs to be replaced. This will not detract from buying more watches....just sad I can't wear it right away. My other two watches ( barbell and USS Connecticut) have not had any issues....and my list of future purchases continue to grow!
The Bluenose is absolutely perfect! The all steel presidential bracelet combined with the Arctic Circle dial is absolutely stunning! I’ve had dozens of compliments! It’s the perfect match of tradition and class!
