Introducing Maven's First Automatic Field Watches
We further our offering for Autumn/Winter ‘23 by introducing the first automatic field watches, the MUS+, a timepiece that satisfies form and function. The MUS+ adopts familiar design cues of timeless design and uncompromising quality.
The MUS+ is a product of years of cumulative expertise in watch design, cultivating the necessary information that is required to produce such a piece. During the design process, we studied dozens of watch styles from the war era and extracted the essence of functional, utilitarian design from them and combined it with our own minimalist aesthetic.
Expanding on our existing Urban Scout series, the MUS+ is a contemporary take on traditional military watches that typically combine function-first technology with clean aesthetics. The MUS+ follows suit and adopts a similar design language, but incorporates Japanese Miyota movement as the watch engine.
Instantly identifiable with MAVNE's identity, the MUS+ watch is finished to the highest possible standard. Following a minimalist design that allows the features to talk for themselves, the watch is composed of a 38x40mm circular dial which is encased in a sand-blasted 316L stainless steel case. The watch boasts 20ATM which means that it provides excellent water resistance when submerged. The lens is made from scratch-resistant double-domed sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflective coating which makes it suitable for everyday wear. To help you tell the time in low visibility, the MUS+ features SuperLumiNova luminous hands. The line-up consists of 5 timepieces, each with its distinct personality.
At the heart of the MUS+ keeping things ticking over is a Japanese Miyota movement, an industry-leading producer of watch movements. Made in Japan to the utmost quality, makes sense for MAVEN to use such a tactile piece of equipment. Miyota movements are recognised for being trustworthy and reliable, as well as being easy to procure and repair if needed.
The parachute strap of the MUS+ is inspired by the French Marine Nationale’s - French Navy - combat divers who invented them in the 1960s and 70s out of necessity. While it is aesthetically pleasing, the strap serves the function of being stretchy, durable and secure.
