Sangin Instruments Atlas V1

A Critical Care Combat Paramedic with the Alabama National Guard, wearing a Sangin Instruments Atlas V1, serial 084. The photo is from the rooftop helipad of a trauma center in Phoenix, on the day they officially retired their MedEvac bird with its last patient flight. His words for how that felt: like getting rid of my first truck after cutting my teeth in her in the mountains of Northern Arizona. He spent seven years on a Sheriff's Office SWAT entry team before moving to flight medicine. The watch has been on his wrist for every major life event and mission since it arrived in 2019. What was the last thing you retired that you were not ready to let go of? If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Intel Report

Sangin Atlas Sangin Instruments was founded by Marines and named after Sangin, Afghanistan, ground the Corps paid for in full. The name on the dial is a memorial before it is a brand. The Atlas is their travel and field piece, built around the idea that the people they sell to change time zones the hard way, in the back of aircraft rather than airport lounges. Sangin grew by word of mouth inside the military community, which is the least forgiving market there is. Gear that fails gets talked about. The talk is still good.
