I bought a Combat Sub about 6 weeks ago and noticed this "E" stamped on the back of the watch. Does anybody know what it stands for?

Envicta ??? Seriously, I haven't a clue. Not a one of my ten pieces has that mark on it.
Very strange indeed.

Maybe "experimental"... Could be why your movement runs so well. Still don't have a clue...

Lol 😂. Maybe the "E" stands for their new "extreme accuracy" model 😄. It really is a mystery.

Now that you've posted this, I recall seeing one online not too long ago with an "l" engraved on a lug (not sure if it was an i or L).

Would be interested to know too.

From another angle it could be an M

Interesting. I'm beginning to think it denotes some type of special production run but who knows. I'm hoping some Glycine expert on this forum will read this and shed some light.

Possibly but I think it would be a strange looking M.

It's all about font and perspective A fontain of perspective It looks like the letters on a child's eye exam chart.

That lug looks wider than the other one.
The E could mean "error" but they used it anyway.

Ooo, bite your tongue sir.
Perhaps it denotes the mill that sweats them out.?

 

[Stoshman]

Sure it's not an 'M' or a 'W'?

Nope, they're the same width. Good thinking though.

No, I'm not. 😊

Could be.

Now it's even more of a puzzle. 😄

I have 3 Combat Subs. PVD case-no E
Bronze case-no E
Stainless case has the E



Had it not been for this thread I wouldn't have noticed it in a million years.


I will now return to my regular programming.

Oh Wow, so I'm not the only who has a special E combat sub!!! 😂.
Is your E located in the same place as mine? Same lug?

Still I must know... what's with the E on stainless? I looked into allergic reactions and realized there is a little something to that, stainless and nickel specifically. But... the back of a lug to warn people? No.
