WANCHER Gurkha Series 30° Angle Military Tactical Wrist Watch

WANCHER Gurkha Series 30° Angle Military Tactical Wrist Watch

WANCHER Gurkha Series

30° Angle Military Tactical Wrist Watch

This 2015 WANCHER are introducing the brand new WANCHER Gurkha series

The watch has been featured in the 2015 Japanese Military Magazine

This time Wancher has made a very special wristwatch with very interesting concept, inspiration and technique in their watch.

As per the pictures you all must be wondering what Wancher Gurkha watch looks different especially the tilting shape What is this? And Why like this? Yes everyone has these questions when they see this watch at the first time. But if you are the real maniac of the tactical army watches you will get to know why this watch is like this etc. But never mind even if you don’t get it I will explain to you in simple words about this watch and I’m sure your definition, usage and selection of the wrist watch will change after using our new innovative watch.

Inspiration and Concept

The 30 degree angle tilted dial inspiration and concept has been inspired from the World War 1 pilot watches. If you study the old pilot watches used in WW1 there were not wrist watches put pocket watches used. The pilot has to always take the watch out from the pocket in order to see the time. In war time this was troublesome because a single second’s miss will lead to his death and his defeat to the enemy. So many pilot put tied their pocket watches to their thighs in order to see the time accurately and speedily. 
In that time the strap tied to their pocket watches were tied to the lugs and the lugs were not on number 12 and 6 as traditional wrist watches but on numbers 3 and 6. Which suggests us that the lug on the numbers 3 and 6 is the perfect lug in order to make the watch timepiece accurate and exact on place.

The 30 degree angles dial watch

If you carefully see the watch the watch dial is tilted to 30 degree angle. Traditional watches are straight in 90 degree angle keeping the 12, 3, 6, 9 numbers at the 90 degree angle. This is because when you are driving or working in an office on the computer in order to see the time you need to move your wrist in order to see the time properly. This is really troublesome in situation like the busing studying or working or sometimes impossible if you are driving. But with our new innovation of 30 degree angle dial you don’t need to move your wrist at all you can see the time properly. Because when you see at the watch you see the 30 degree angle from your eyes to the watch dial which makes it impossible if the numbers are in the 90 degree angle like the traditional watches. But if you slightly change the eyes and dial angle to the 30 degree you will see the time exactly without moving your wrist. The inspiration of this dial is from the WW1 soldiers even if now in modern world with not real battlefield but we are fighting everyday with our work, business, studies and other situations where time is money and even a single second miss may shot us differently similar to the soldier in the battlefield.

WANCHER Gurkha

The Gurkhas also spelled as Gorkhas, are soldiers from Nepal. Historically, the terms "Gurkha" and "Gorkhali" were synonymous with "Nepali," and derived from the hill town and district of Gorkha from which the Kingdom of Nepal expanded. Legend has it that the name may be traced to the medieval Hindu warrior-saint Guru Gorakhnath who has a historic shrine in Gorkha. Gurkhas are traditionally recruited from various Nepali hill ethnicities, but do not come from a single group or region in the multi-ethnic country. There is Gurkha military units in the Nepalese, British and the Indian army enlisted in Nepal. The Gurkhas are one of the oldest tribes living in the Himalaya regions. The Gurkas were also one of the brave soldiers who fought for peace and harmony many years back in the hilly Himalaya regions. The Gurkha fought bravely with the British during Indian subcontinent colonial period. But later the British Army recruited the Gurkhas in the world war for their impeccable bravery and honesty.
The Wancher derives this name for this watch’s Honesty and Bravery.

H3

As we have talked about the Army and world war inspiration and concept of this watch but we neither like nor do we support war. The old history, rich culture, and technique inspire our product only. We love peace so there is a H3 message to all from us. H3 stands for
Heritage--We believe in heritage, something passed on from generation to generation makes history and understanding of the rich old knowledge.
Hardness—the harness represents the strength of the watch.
Harmony—the peace makes us bring closer to each other.

You will be get surprised with the various accepts and functions of this watch. Each things are taken into considered to serve some purposeLets go first to the salient features of this watch.

Dial Case

As we wanted to make the concept of the Army Tactical Wrist watch, by this you can understand in simple words that we wanted to make the wrist watch is light in weight, long term use ruff and tuff watch used exactly same as the battlefield on order to win the battle. So first we decided about the case material. As you know now days many wrist watches are made in stainless steel with the steel strength but this makes the watch heavy. Secondly we thought of making it of plastic PMMA which will make the watch light weight exactly same as the US Government issued Army watches. The US Government issued army watches are made of plastic which are extremely light but these watches are use and throw type watches and we definitely don’t wanted to make the use and throw wristwatches so we finally decided to make the watch case of Aluminum which is lighter than the stainless steel and can be used for long term unlike the plastic PMMA resin made watches.
The case of this watch is made of the full aluminum with longer life line.

H Shape Dial

You must be surprised that the watch dial is H shape small. Yes it is small not because it is for the small hand but for special purpose and can be used to any kind of small, big hands without any problem. The special purpose of this small watch dial is it makes your watch lighter than the mundane watches. And also it will help to make your Lugs unbreakable.

Lug ( horns)

This is one of the main points of this watch. Normally in any wrist watches if you see the easiest to fall part of the watch is its lug or horns. Lug or horns are the surface where you connect the dial with the strap and after many time use this part falls apart because of the increase in the surface tension in the lug while wearing it on your hand and the other reason is that the dial case and lugs are made separately in normal all watches.
But in Wancher Gurkha watch this lug is the strongest part as the whole case is made in H shape and all made in 1 case and not making it separately. This Special H shape while help to not exert much tension on the lugs making it secure and unbreakable.

Case Back

The case back of this watch unlike any American Traditional watches is screw back stainless steel made. Screw back case has 2 main important points firstly the screw back case are easy to repair for any time. Secondly it is also easy to change the battery anytime making it smooth to use whenever the battery change is required.

Zero

The zero represents no limit and no borders making all of us irrespective of race, culture, language, religion, color as same and only one Human.

Crown

The crown on this watch is not at the number 3 but instead it is at the 4 if compared to the traditional watch. This also has special reason in order to prevent accident. When we fall on our hand the big crowns located normally at number 3 may injure our wrist by if it is at number 4 then it may prevent injury to the wrist.

Movement

In this watch special Japan Movement Quartz has been used. We all know the Japan movement quartz long history and benefits of the movement in the wrist watches.

Glass Material

Special Mineral Glass used in this watch dial.

Strap

The strap used on this watch is the hard nylon cannot cut easily strap. This strap used is same as the US ARMY Government issued watches with superior quality.

The Correct Pronunciation and meaning of the WANCHER! ワンチャー

Many of the English speakers are asking us why this funny name WANCHER and its meaning.

Honestly I dont know what it means in English and why it is funny in English as my English is not that good!!

But when I asked my English speaking friends especially from UK they said it is a bad word and

they pronounce it as WANCHER( Ch--as K)

So I ask the Wancher brand designers about it and the answer was as below from them:

 the correct Japanese way pronouncing is different with different meaning.

The correct pronunciation of the name is WANCHER  (  CH as in Chair).

Meaning ワンチャー　is an ancient Japanese-Chinese word;  the direct English translation is hard

 to explain but here I translated the English to my best

The devotion and achievement of the goal involving everyone irrespective of borders while

sticking to the roots.

I was also surprised to know it. I hope this helps!

WANCHER Fortitude Airforce Pilot Chronograph 20JW Tachymeter Automatic luminous Watch

About WANCHER Fortitude

Fortitude means the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or any challenge.

Inspired from this concept, WANCHER has applied for this Fortitude Watch series.

An Airforce Pilot watch: the dial is same as the airforce figther jet dashboard.

Pilots always need the exact and accurate time. WANCHER always strive hard to make the watch with mechanical movement and maximum accurancy.

In the quartz system the electronic watch can be accurate by the batteries but in mechanical watch, the accuracy is very difficult to achieve and thats why WANCHER team take this challenge to make the best accuracy and the best movements.
In mechanical watches because mechanical watches are the best watches to use with lot of fun and old memoeries.

2 Dial eyes

This WANCHER Fortitude Watch has 2 eyes for Minutes and Seconds.

You will never loose track of time with this WANCHER Sun Watch Series.

Chronograph System with Movement 2901

A chronograph is a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch. A basic chronograph has an independent sweep second hand; it can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem.

WANCHER Addition Watch has the extra subdialsm and the buttons (pushers) on the side of the case. These pushers start, stop, and reset the timing function, while the rest of the watch runs as usual.

This Chronograph Watch Mechanism can be used for both men and women as every watch lover, regarless their gender, can have huge knowledge about technical aspects of watches.

Power Reserve Indicator

Power Reserve Indicator (originally called Réserve de Marche) is a complication of the watch, which is designed to show the amount of remaining stored energy. The power reserve indicator indicates the tension on the mainspring at any particular moment.

Power Reserve System Function

The power reserve indicator is one of the most useful features of a mechanical watch besides the actual time display. The mechanical watch operated either by automatic- or manual winding. In order to run at a regular rate a mechanical timepiece needs to have at least 30 per cent of its mainspring wound. An automatic timepiece needs to be worn for about 10–15 hours before it is fully wound.

The power reserve indicator displayed on the watch with automatic- winding movement shows how long a watch will function when not worn. The one displayed at a watch with the manual winding mechanism shows the time left for its next winding

Self Winding Mechanism - Automatic Mechanical Movement

The movement must be accurate, reliable, take the shock of firing a gun and throwing a punch, be relatively temperature stable, automatic, and anti-magnetic.

Each click wheel consists of a perimeter gear, a central gear, and, in the middle of the central gear, a fixed smaller gear.

The perimeter gear has ratchet pawls around the inside. The central gear has sloping teeth around its circumference that engage with the ratchet pawls around the inside of the perimeter gear to act as a “one-way” clutch. When the left click wheel assembly is rotated counter clockwise by the clockwise movement of the master gear it will turn the central gear, turning the upper gear in a clockwise direction. However, when the master gear rotates counter clockwise the left perimeter gear will turn clockwise, this will not engage the central gear but, the left perimeter gear will turn the right perimeter gear counter clockwise, engaging the right central gear and again, turn the upper gear in the same clockwise direction. This mechanism allows the rotor (connected to the master gear) to swing in either way or still wind the watch in a clockwise direction.

Tachymeter

Tachymeter is actually a tool used to compute speed based on travel time over a fixed distance travelled (like one mile or one kilometer). Thus, the tachymeter bezel or dial is a logarithmic scale (actually it’s not, as spacings between the marks on the tachymeter dial are proportional to 1/t where t is the elapsed time) that simplifies the computation of speed of an object, by computing the following function:

Tachymeter Dial = 3600 / Elapsed Time In Seconds

WANCHER Innovative Cifra Zero Fighter One Hand Automatic Mechanical Watch NEW ARRIVAL COLOR- WHITE

About Zero Fighter Edition

This watch is inspired form the Japans most famous innovation of the ZERO FIGTHER PLANE which was made in the WW2.

When it was introduced early in World War II, the Zero was considered the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range. In early combat operations, the Zero gained a legendary reputation as a dogfighter, achieving the outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1, but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled the Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms.
The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service ("IJNAS") also frequently used the type as a land-based fighter.

By 1943, inherent design weaknesses and the failure to develop more powerful aircraft engines meant that the Zero became less effective against newer enemy fighters, which possessed greater firepower, armor, and speed, and approached the Zero's maneuverability. Although the Mitsubishi A6M was outdated by 1944, design delays and production difficulties of newer Japanese aircraft types meant that it continued to serve in a front line role until the end of the war.

During the final years of the War in the Pacific, the Zero was also adapted for used in kamikaze operations. During the course of the war, the Japanese produced more Zeros than any other model aircraft.

Inspiration of the Cifra design

The cifra design came into existence based on the inspiration of the oldest clock in the world, which was believed to be the sun and shadow clock used in the subcontinent which is now India with the blend of our Japan culture.

The sun and shadow was used to measure the length of the day and night and calculated the time accordingly.

The Cifra designers got huge inspiration from and therefore it has very special characteristics related to this olden measurement of the time.  Step by step it will be explained in detail in order to understand the science of our new design.

Cifra Meaning

Cifra means the number 0 which ultimately leads us to the space where there is no end to the time and also our dreams.

This leads us to the space where the number 0 gravity is used a lot.

We at Wancher also think that the our life and dreams should be endless with no limitation same as our watch

Cifra Japan silent culture with Space, Cosmos feeling:

Japan has a very silent culture and we have seen some Japan ancient products exclusively describing and depiction the silent culture of the Japan through them.

The same concept goes to our Cifra watch too, this watch has only 1 hand to show the time, which is so silent, also expressing the space where everything seems to be stopped but actually the universe is running into its orbits. From our Cifra design you may enjoy the Japan silent culture with the space terminology of 0 gravity.

The cosmos has always been considered the better place to test the time of the watch.

Special Mineral Sapphire Glass

The glass used is high quality mineral glass which is soluble making it very special and extreme clarity.Mineral glass is ordinary tempered glass made from silica. It is more scratch resistant than Plexiglass which is a plastic also used for watch crystals.

The most scratch resistant crystals are usually mineral glass coated with synthetic Sapphire. This glass also gives the crystal dome like structure which makes the wearer easy to use an see the time clearly from any angle.

Special Sharp index

The Cifra watch has a very sharp and fine needle arrow to show the time correctly from any angle and the glass and needle makes it so easy to read that even from the top or bottom angle you will see the time exactly proper as if the needle in on the time.

Time calculation

The center hand is of the minute. Each bar on the minute represents the 10 mins. So every minute the hand will move to its one place ahead and the inner numbers are of the Hours.

For example: if the hand is on the index 13 then it is 1o clock. If that hands move to the next index then it is 1oclock 10 mins.

Case material

The case is made of the high brass material.

If you see in the Mend levees period table, brass is not found I nature, it is a mixture of the 2 or more different metals such as Copper ( Cu) and Zinc (Zn). This composition has the chemical property of the making the material smooth and also it well matches with human skins causing no irritation on the wrist hands.
