The new Black Diamond-Like Carbon coating on the MTM Cobra creates a smooth finish, while also upgrading its durable and scratch-resistant qualities.
With their threatening hoods, intimidating posture and venomous bite, cobras are amongst the most iconic snakes on earth; both respected and feared. Emulating their dominant qualities in the MTM Cobra watch has been well-respected in the watch industry by both collectors and competitors.
Watch enthusiast, Stephen Mazinger, owner and author of ‘A Time to Blog Watches’ recently tested out the 47mm Black Cobra and this is what he had to say… “First glance impression is tactical stealth… The Cobra achieves what MTM wanted to provide the wearer, a tactical watch, that has useful features that can be easily used in all settings, especially out in the field”. To start the review, Mazinger reminisces about his younger childhood years, when his favorite and toughest battles were between G.I. Joe & Cobra, bringing him back to the good old days. Cobra being the arch rival and nemesis for the 1908’s all-mighty & all-American Hero, G.I. Joe.
Throughout the review he describes the MTM Cobra’s functions and features in detail that provide an under the radar appearance. This watch case material and quality is specifically important to special operators and armed forces personnel who wear MTM Special Ops timepieces. To learn more about the Cobra’s compass, crown, bezel, dials, sub-dials, Super LumiNova hands/index, see below. The MTM Cobra is optimal in rugged & outdoor functions, but just by wearing it, you’ll look like a badass!
The Cobra makes a great companion to not only military and law enforcement personnel but also to adventurous and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. In closing, Mazinger points out the Cobra allows him to “connect to the basics without relying on extra tech, such as smart phones or tablets. Keeping it simple is something really refreshing. An escape from our busy, over complicated life.”
