Vague Watch Co.'s submariner does a convincing job matching the looks of far more expensive models while offering affordable performance. This particular reference combines a brushed, darkened 40mm steel case with a matching bracelet for a more formal look. Its black dial contrasts well with the military-style "sword" hands and applied "gilt" hour and perimeter markers that look have an aged look to match the slightly faded rotating bezel insert. Powered by a near-silent Japanese quartz movement, it has a classic domed crystal, a screw-down crown, and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
