Tin Can Timepieces Shallow Water Combat Submersible

An active duty Navy submariner and nuclear operator, and the founder of a young watch company, whose watch is photographed at night outside the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynn County, Georgia. The frame belongs to a K9 unit, a working dog at heel under the streetlights, the handler's wrist resting just above those ears with the watch on a green strap. The submitter built the piece himself, working with Secret Service, SEALs, Rangers, Marines, and federal law enforcement to chase "the perfect piece that can not only take a beating but look good doing it." Destro crown, fixed lugs, and in his words, "all the tactical needs in one. From fist fights on duty to K9 training this piece performs." The watch is a Tin Can Timepieces Shallow Water Combat Submersible, named for the SEAL delivery submersible, worn here where the next generation of federal agents learns the trade. Tempus Est Potentia.

Intel Report

The Namesake The watch borrows its name from real hardware. The Shallow Water Combat Submersible, the Navy's Mark 11, is a wet submersible built to carry SEALs, a pilot, a navigator, and four passengers riding exposed to the water, designed to replace the long serving Mark 8 SEAL Delivery Vehicle with a published test depth of more than 190 feet. Tin Can Timepieces is a microbrand founded by a serving submariner. The SWCS model's configuration, a left side destro crown and fixed lugs, comes from the submitter's own description of the piece he designed. Named for a machine that delivers operators to the beach, worn here at the schoolhouse where federal agents are made, the watch stays close to its subject matter.
