RGM’s toughest watch just got tougher…!

May 9, 2013

RGM Model 300 Ceramic Bezel  Insert RGM’s toughest watch just got  tougher… !

The RGM Model 300 Diver, favored  alike by hobbyist outdoorsmen and professional divers has recently received an  upgrade to the graduated bezel insert.  Experienced divers know that the rotating bezel of their timepiece is  often subjected to shock or contact with undersea obstacles. It is an easily  replaced part of course, but a very useful one for timing dive stages, so  protecting it is imperative. Recognizing this, RGM has developed a highly  scratch-resistant ceramic bezel insert to enhance both the durability and the  beauty of the Model 300.


Available on all new Model 300 watches, the bezel is offered in both black (Model 300) and blue (Model 300-2). The watch still features the same rugged 43.2mm stainless steel case with 5mm thick sapphire crystal but is now more able to withstand exposure to hazardous, unpredictable environments. A difference in color and texture is evident in a comparison of the Model 300-2’s original insert with the new ceramic ones; the brushed metallic glow has been supplanted by a more muted and subtle splash of glossy color. In both ceramic versions, a tad more contrast is apparent, a visibility benefit that should be welcome to divers.

The new bezel inserts can be retro-fitted to any existing RGM 300; owners interested in this upgrade are invited to inquire with RGM Service. All Model 300s are water resistant to 2500 feet, made of high-quality steel, and available with steel bracelet, or with silicon straps of blue or black. Custom options are also available—as with any RGM watch— including mother-of-pearl dials or personalized engraving. Please contact us to discuss all the options and to learn more about RGM Watch Company.

Pennsylvania Tourbillon

RGM Watch Pennsylvania Tourbillon

Here at RGM we are continuing to uphold the finest traditions of American horology by creating the Pennsylvania Tourbillon, our flagship mechanical movement made here in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Tourbillon is signified by the state's symbol, a keystone, surrounding a capital T, which adorns the first serially produced American Tourbillon watches ever made.

The Pennsylvania Tourbillon is the fist serially produced Tourbillon in North America.  It is also a hand made watch with one of the largest Tourbillon cages for a watch that is 43.5 mm in diameter.  From it's Wolf's Tooth winding wheels, to its hand made Tourbillon cage it is a pure example of true watchmaking at its best.
