1st Battalion 3rd Marines "Lava Dogs". This is the 42mm Classic watch with choice of bezel-ring color (red, black, blue, green). The watch case is constructed in 316L surgical-grade stainless steel with scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass, and is water depth rated to 300 meters / 1,000 feet.

The watch comes mounted on a black leather strap, but if you would prefer a different color leather strap, or a carbon fiber or rubber strap, let us know in the comments when you order, and we'll do what we can do accommodate you.

There are two caseback designs to choose from: our stock caseback, or we can design a custom caseback which is tailored to you, featuring your graphics / patches / planes / deployments, etc.

If you choose to get the custom caseback, then after your order is placed, we will reach out to create the caseback design, and will supply mock-up revisions until the design is what you had in mind.

You can choose from our stock caseback, which features our logo, or we can design a custom caseback for you for $250, which features your name / rank / callsign, squadron patches / unit emblems, planes / helicopters, or whatever you would like on it.

Here are some recent projects.



Your SwissPL watch is assembled and tested when ordered, and then gets packaged for shipping with the utmost of care in each detail.

The watch is secured inside a heat-sealed enclosure bag, so your hands are the first to touch your new watch.

Your watch will be sent with insured service, with tracking, which requires a signature for delivery.

Tell Your Story

Each timepiece is made to order, designed to reflect your milestones.

METAL BRACELET

The 22mm metal bracelet for the 42mm Classic watch is comprised of solid links and is secured to the watch with solid end-pieces. The links use screws, not pins, and the buckle is equipped with a safety clasp.

WATER DEPTH RATING

The Classic watch features a screw-down crown and caseback which seals the watch and enables a water depth rating of 300 meters (1,000 feet) and secures the inside of the watch from the elements.

MOVEMENT / ENGINE

The movement driving your timepiece is a Swiss engine. Power your watch with your choice of quartz-analog battery movement, included in base price, or upgrade to the automatic self-winding mechanical movement with 25 jewels (shown here).

CASE MATERIAL

The 316L steel material is ideally resistant to environmental corrosion and provides an optimum hypoallergenic function for contact with your skin. So regardless if you have a desk job, are engaged in covert spec-ops missions, or you’re just an avid sportsman, your timepiece will survive whatever you throw at it.

DIAL FABRICATION

The dial fabrication is done in-house; produced either in a metallic gold application, or in color using a traditional manual Swiss dial printing machine building up one color at a time to create the design. Your watch is handcrafted and made-to-order.

BEZEL RING

The watch uses a uni-directional bezel turning system with 4 bezel ring colors to choose from: black, blue, red and green.

Honor Your Journey

Your military career spans a lifetime of dedication and sacrifice, inherited from the men that came before, and passed on to those that follow. A proud tradition built on commitment and triumph, on honor and support.

This timepiece is a blend of style and function to encapsulate your heritage, and the milestones you achieved along the way.
