South Padre Island Nautical Chart Watch

Nautical charts are art as much as they are information. This watch highlights the ecologically important hyper-saline lower Laguna Madre and popular vacation destination South Padre Island, host of the Texas International Fishing Tournament and Sand Castle Capital of the World (the unique coastal hydrodynamics deposits flat and fine-grained with a medium-to-high silt sand excellent for sand castles). This nautical chart is also interesting because shows one end of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, an inland waterway that protects ships from open sea and extends all the way to Carrabelle, Florida. Latitude and longitude scales that are typically seen on the border of a chart have been redesigned to mark minutes (1 black and white rectangle = 1 minute) and the dauphine hands and two tone case compliment the dial well. The 40 mm case diameter is a great size for most wrists and Japan quartz movement means this watch is reliable and accurate.
