Vertex M100A - Initial thoughts

Good watch but overpriced, in its current format. As a field watch it can easily be improved.
- movement regulation could be better. Mine also loses time, would be an improvement if it gained rather than lost, that way your'e early not late.
- The secondhand is invisible under certain light conditions, could also do with some lume added.
- Lume isn't that great under normal usage conditions (especially UK in winter) Easily solved with tritium vials on hour, minute & second hand, plus indices.
Fix the above & the watch would be an unbeatable field watch!!

Fabulous, understated.

Really solid field watch with a strong heritage. Love the dirty dozen look on 40mm.

Incredible attention to detail

I've recently been on one of my watch quests and considered many brands and familiar options. By luck, I stumbled across Vertex while watching (The Mad Watch Collector) & (The Urban Gentry) on YouTube. After careful consideration I took the plunge and ordered my M100A. The order process and delivery was swift and painless. The presentation for the watch was fantastic, and of course, the watch itself is simply amazing! The case dimensions and dial proportions are spot on "in my opinion" The lume on this thing is a sight to behold, and as for accuracy, mine is running +2 SPD.
Bottom line: This watch is top notch and worth every penny.
My first, but Not last Vertex watch.

Looks and feels great

Dial

The M100’s dial echos the original Vertex WWW model, from the font, to the minute track and the hour markers. However, the modern design boasts the very best C3 X1 grade Super-LumiNova. The spectacular lume has been cast into solid blocks, ensuring unparalleled clarity and an enduring, signature Vertex glow.

A British Classic Reinvented

100 years since Claude Lyons started the company, Vertex is re-incorporated by his Great Grandson, Don Cochrane.

The M100

The M100 is the ultimate homage to the legendary Vertex WWW Cal 59 - worn by
the soldiers, sailors and airmen during WW2

With meticulous care to maintain the essence of the original specification, the 21st century version is modernised to embrace the very best of today’s watchmaking technology.

Its top specification Sellita SW260-1 movement is attached to ‘syringe hands’ and a sub second counter, which match the original perfectly. This is housed in the M100’s brushed steel 40mm case and locking crown, ensuring water resistance down to 100 meters.

As a reminder of the Vertex military heritage, each watch features a ‘broad arrow ’marking on the dial. - The British MOD has given Vertex specific permission to use this as a mark of historical relevance.

The moulded SuperLuminova dial emits the signature and imitable Vertex glow, allowing perfect legibility in any conditions, no matter your current mission.
