A different, but high profile, brand today with a smart looking design.
This watch is a chronograph model by Nautica. The Nautica brand is an American clothing brand which has all manner of apparel with a sailing theme. It is based in New York, and was started in 1983 by David Chu, but now owned by the VF Corporation.
As part of the clothing line, they make a series of watches, which judging by the customer service email address are made by Timex. These watches are actually made by Timex Group USA, Inc. which is a subsidiary of the Dutch parent company Timex Group B.V.
This watch is their Nautica Chronograph model, but I can't find the model number. It has a 3 hand dial which is powered by a Japanese quartz movement. On the main dial are 3 small dials towards the outside which cover 24-hr time (right), and seconds and minutes for the chronograph (bottom and left respectively).
The dial features hour markers as well as some sort of scale around the outside. I assume this is for some sort of nautical speed and has 19 at the 6 o'clock position, and finishes with 90 at the 2 o'clock position. The case also has a rotating bezel with compass markings.
The back has the Nautica sailing boat logo on and has information about the material, movement, water resistance (50m), and tells it uses a 371 battery.
This model comes with a brown leather strap with the Nautica name on the back and the sailing boat logo imprinted on the front of both halves.
This model doesn't appear on the Nautica watches website, so I don't think it is a current model, but I don't know when it was released.
