Casio MDV106-1A
A patrol officer on the north end of the metroplex, photographed mid evidence processing after a Fourth of July stop turned up an intoxicated subject carrying cannabis and a concealed handgun. While the neighborhood shot fireworks, he and his shift were out making sure everybody got home. On the wrist above the nitrile glove is a Casio MDV106, the Duro, a 200 meter quartz diver that has become the honest answer to how much watch a working wrist actually needs. The pistol goes into evidence, the report gets written, and the Duro just keeps running, the way it always does. If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio.

Casio MDV106-1A, the Duro
The Duro is modern horology’s favorite open secret: a Japanese quartz three hander with a unidirectional bezel, 200 meters of water resistance, and the marlin emblem at six o’clock, sold for less than a duty belt. It has no complications to break and no pretensions to maintain, which is why it keeps turning up on wrists that could wear anything.
North Metroplex, Fourth of July
The submitting officer works patrol in the north metroplex. The photo was taken during evidence processing after a holiday weekend stop, an intoxicated subject who turned out to be carrying cannabis and a concealed handgun, now laid out on evidence paper beside the jars and the loose rounds. His summary of the night was simple: he and the homies were trying to make sure everybody stayed safe on the street. The glove is nitrile, the watch is rubber and steel, and both were bought to be used up.
