The Watch
Here we have a 2020 Damasko DK11 Si Automatic with a 42mm ice-hardened bead-blasted nickel-free stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with tapered lugs, the hardened surface makes the watch case resistant to scratches, and a lug-to-lug length of 50mm and a case thickness of 13.5mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side a hardened signed screw-down crown with triple gaskets for improved water resistance and deep knurling for extra grip protected by small crown guards. A bidirectional ice-hardened bezel has deep knurling and a black 12-hour insert with a red pip triangle at 12 o’clock coated in a proprietary DAMEST hardener making it resistant to scratches and abrasions, holding a flat sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides for excellent viewing. The white cross-hair fully luminous dial coated in CL1 SuperLuminova has an outer minute track precisely executed with large black Arabic numerals marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a day/date window, striking matte black sword hands are complemented by a red painted sweeping second-hand. Above the date, we have the Damasko motif and in the lower left quarter a red “Si” completes this tactical pilot watch. On the reverse a screw-down sapphire exhibition case back, inside an automatic Damasko Cal. A35-1 TOP, 24 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, this in-house movement has a silicon escape wheel, silicon hairspring, and Damasko modified rotor with ceramic bearing making the movement anti-magnetic, shock resistant, and decorated in Cotes de Geneve and Perlage. The watch comes fitted on its 22mm bead-blasted stainless steel bracelet with hidden deployment, all links are provided, and it has gone through the same ice-hardening process giving it scratch resistance, in the box is an additional Damasko strap with a deployment clasp and the watch comes with its Damasko presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
I am regularly asked what watches people should consider when looking for a well-built everyday watch that they can go anywhere and do anything in... German watch brands are always high on that list, if not at the top, this Damasko is one of those brands and this DK11 Si is one of those watches without question! I would feel sorry for the wall if you hit this watch against it, book an appointment and come check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
The Brand
Damasko is the brainchild of Konrad Damasko, a family-run business founded in 1994. Based in Barbing Germany, they design and manufacture wristwatches. Their cases and movements have accrued several patents over the years. Including patents for super hard alloys used for cases and components. These cases are also supplied to Sinn. Specialising in mechanical watches and chronographs they have redesigned every inch of them. In 2014 they introduced their first in-house movement.
