icromilspec announces the launch of Project Sabotage, a new take on the award nominated Milgraph, sabotaged by none other than experimental artist Black Badger. This limited edition release combines tactical DNA with radioactive personality, highlighting the Milgraph as a true collector’s item.

As with most of Black Badger’s work, Project Sabotage features standout lume usage on the piece. The indexes and hands are powered by high output X1-grade Super-LumiNova lume that glows an Ultramarine colour in darkness and has been specially designed by Black Badger with RC Tritec in Switzerland to look as good in the dark as it does in the light.

Each watch will be accompanied by a serial number-matching Zirconium and SuperLuminova dogtag in white and orange. These dogtags are co-created by Black Badger and Pat Pruitt, legendary specialist in advanced materials.

The collaboration with James Thompson, aka Black Badger, came about when two pirates joined forces - independents in an industry dominated by heavy hitters. With shared brand DNA, the partnership was a natural fit, leading to the creation of a new addition to the Milgraph family: the “Sabotage” edition.

With the release comes a complete alternate anime universe, The Time Wars, where time itself is controlled by the tyrannical Chrono Syndicate, ruled by the Grand Psycho and his associate The Crown Guard. The Milgraph is the timepiece of choice for the galaxy’s most charming space pirate: Black Badger. Equipped with a matte white dial, Grade 5 titanium case, and a blast of high-vis orange, this watch looks like it was smuggled through a wormhole, and barely survived.
