Rugged yet bold
Featuring a metal-reinforced bezel, fiber-reinforced polymer
case and scratch-resistant display for maximum durability, Instinct
3 Series is ready for any challenge. The new lineup is also built
to MIL-STD 810 for thermal and shock
resistance and is water-rated to 100 meters. Plus, a built-in
flashlight – now available on all Instinct 3 models – provides
variable intensities, a red light and strobe mode to help provide
greater awareness in dark environments, like while spelunking in
caves, rummaging through a gear pack or telling scary stories
around the campfire.
Both the AMOLED and solar options are available in two sizes –
45mm and 50mm—and come in sleek colorways like Black,
Black/Charcoal, plus bright and bold colorways like Neotropic and
Neotropic/Twilight, that are part of the new, limited-edition
Tropical Pulse Collection.
