The purpose of the watch
The new Sierra Zero One Phalanx is an evolution of the Geckota S-01 Diver, keeping the essential Geckota DNA but now rebranded in the phonetic alphabet as “Sierra Zero One”.

The principal objective with the S-01 Phalanx was to create a watch that is not just a gimmick, but a platform with real operational viability which would also appeal as a contemporary watch and represent the Geckota design ethos. To achieve the desired level of authenticity and accuracy, Geckota enlisted the help of an experienced special operations expert who was involved in the birth of this watch from day 1.

Watch details

Any surface of the Phalanx that causes reflection has been subdued and in its place is a signature suppressed approach including the dial, hands and case. A PVD black hostile environment version of the S-01 is also available. Decimal time is often favoured during operations which explains its presence on the outer dial of the S-01 Phalanx.

Dual luminescence colours have been used with the bezel marker being different to the dial for accurate use at night. The offset crown at the 4 o'clock position ensures the utmost comfort when involved in outdoor activities such as diving, climbing or professional operational use. A unique 20-minute bezel timer brings symmetry to the offset crown.

The S-01 Phalanx is powered by the ETA 2824-2 movement and each watch comes with a uniquely engraved caseback and individual serial numbers with SF prefix. The chosen collaborative partner on this project has spent most of his professional life around overseas military and police Special Operations units as a technical adviser and trainer having previously worked in Intelligence.

He has first-hand experience of bespoke Special Forces equipment and how important it is, whether on operation or transitioning its use to essential outdoor and survival tools. It was through this joint process that Phalanx came to be: the mutual desire to design a watch that was thoroughly inspired and suitable for Special Operations or Intelligence use yet would make a perfect choice for those who seek the ruggedness of the outdoor world and demand the highest standards of equipment to accompany them.
