For the first time on a Vertex watch, the model features filled metal indices, offering enhanced depth, clarity, and durability while maintaining the legibility that defines Vertex military timepieces.

MOVEMENT

Driven by the 31 Jewel non-date SELLITA SW260-1 Top Grade movement, this automatic mechanism features small hacking seconds and a Nivaflex hairspring. A distinguished Swiss calibre timepiece, it is celebrated for its slim profile while embodying robustness and dependability. Calibrated in three distinct positions, it operates at 28,800 vph or 4Hz frequency.

WATER RESISTANCE

Waterproof to 100 meters with the additional security of a screw-in crown.

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 X1 grade C3 Super-LumiNova. The spectacular lume has been cast into solid blocks, ensuring unparalleled clarity and an enduring, signature Vertex glow.

FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE

Every Vertex is built to the very highest standards and we stand by the quality with a 5 year global guarantee. 

Moulded Super-LumiNova Dial

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 M36’s brushed steel 36mm 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.
