This New MKII Fulcrum Reminds Me Why Military Watch Design Endures
MKII has collaborated with AMPHIBIOUS to create a limited edition Fulcrum 39 watch, with only 35 pieces available, designed to support the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces. This model builds on the established Fulcrum platform from 2013, emphasizing a purposeful design rather than merely a cause-driven product. The watch features a serious dial with subtle branding, a practical case size of 39.5 mm, and a bead blasted 316L stainless steel case. The design prioritizes legibility, with sword hands and luminous markers, alongside a durable unidirectional bezel and double domed sapphire crystal. The watch offers movement options of the Miyota 9015 or the no-date Miyota 90S5, both providing hacking and manual winding capabilities. Water resistance is rated at 200 meters, ensuring functionality for serious users. Priced at $1,195, the Fulcrum 39 appeals to collectors familiar with its significance. The focused design, grounded in real-world utility, showcases MKII’s commitment to crafting compelling tool watches, making this release a notable addition to the brand's offerings.
