NAV SPC Watch Strap - Serie 8830
All maps have a scale which indicates the relationship between a certain distance on the map
and the distance on the ground. The map scale is usually located in the legend box of a map.
In order to facilitate navigation with a map, the newly designed watch strap of the RECON
Series 8830 features three common map scales which can be used to measure distances on
maps without the need of calculations.
The map scales in bold on the straps are the following:
1:100.000 – 1 cm = 100.000 cm (1 Km) on the map
1:50.000 – 1 cm = 50.000 cm (500 m) on the map
1:25.000 – 1 cm = 25.000 cm (250 m) on the map
Military maps are usually in scale: 1:50.000 and 1:25.000
The watch strap also features an inch/cm measurement and comparison chart.
The Nav Spc Serie 8830 comes with a small compass slided on to the strap.
“Conceived for military reconnaissance missions, but also a great tool for

“Whatever your target or mission may be: a Luminox RECON Series watch is
a great instrument to aid in exploring your world.” Andrea Micheli
