Design and Performance Enhancements

Built for Modern Demands

The P656 watches incorporate significant upgrades inspired by mid-1990s designs:

  • Crystal: Shatter-resistant sapphire with anti-reflective coating.
  • Water Resistance: Upgraded from 30m (1990s models) to 300m.

Covert PVD Finish

  • Special Coating: Matte black, non-reflective PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish for covert operations by special forces, anti-terrorist units, and police forces.
  • Durability: The PVD process chemically bonds the finish to the metal, ensuring long-lasting performance under harsh conditions.
  • Resilience: The finish typically remains intact for years, even under extreme abrasion.

Dual Time Zone Tracking

Effortless Adjustment

The P656 features a 12-hour bezel for simplified dual time zone tracking:

  • Offset the bezel by the required hours to track a second time zone.
  • Example: In Paris, align "9 o'clock" on the bezel with the 3-hour marker to track Miami (6 hours behind).

This design maintains the 300m water resistance and classic diver watch aesthetics while enhancing versatility.


Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Synthetic sapphire is an industry-leading material for watch crystals, offering:

  • Reliability: Ideal for military personnel, law enforcement, and outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Enhanced Strength: Heat-treated sapphire provides superior durability compared to plexiglass or mineral glass.
  • Anti-Reflective Coating: Ensures optimal visibility under all conditions.

The History of MIL-W-46374-G Watches and the P656

The P656 series traces its heritage to the MIL-W-46374F military specification, first issued on October 14, 1991. Further refinements to the specification during the mid-1990s resulted in the Stocker & Yale P650 Navigator, a highly regarded military timepiece developed for demanding operational use. The P656 carries forward many of the principles that made the original P650 such a successful and enduring design, as illustrated in the final image.

    Very outdoor. Outstanding outdoor Wi-Fi — perfect companion for Starlink (even in winter!
    Size: 1 Pack Outdoor, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000, Size: 1 Pack Outdoor, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000
    I’m using this as the main router at an off-grid cabin, connected directly to a Starlink Mini, and it has been phenomenal. The coverage and stability are far better than the built-in Starlink Wi-Fi router, especially outdoors and around multiple buildings. This unit serves as the primary node in my network, with a few Deco M5 units extending the mesh, and the handoff between them is seamless. I’m getting reliable coverage over roughly 3 acres, including around the cabin, outbuildings, and yard — something the Starlink router couldn’t come close It’s mounted outdoors and has gone through freezing winter conditions with snow, ice, and icicles forming around it — zero issues so far. Performance hasn’t dropped, and it’s stayed rock solid. Setup was straightforward, management through the app is easy, and once it’s running you basically forget about it — which is exactly what i want. If you’re running Starlink at a rural property, cabin, farm, or large yard, this is an excellent upgrade and easily worth it. Strong signal, wide coverage, and dependable even in harsh conditions. Highly recommended..!.

    Great signal throughout the house and beyond
    Size: 3 Pack, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000
    Got this set of 3 to replace the single rental EERO that the service provider put in when my mom got fiber. My biggest issue with the EERO was that the service provider set it up, meaning I had no way to control the device. Specifically, my mom is old and apt to click on scam ads or to call the number when a scam popup freezes her keyboard (thanks a lot, Zuckerberg). The only layer of protection I can give her is an adblock DNS, and to do so I need control. Also, I could not get her living room TV to connect to WiFi and signal was starting to drop off a bit in rooms farthest from that single device. At the time of purchase, this was the most economical 3 mesh device WiFi 7 system from a well established brand. The devices are a bit bulky, but are not eye sores and seem to be very well made. The available wall mount brackets for this style router appear to be more secure than the ones for the cylindrical models, and they won't look as goofy hanging on the wall which is another plus. Mounting brackets are sold separately. Her TV still does not connect to WiFi, so placed one of these near the TV and connected it via ethernet cable. The third is in one of the rooms farthest from the main base. The range is quite acceptable, with my phone getting full signal strength in the yard @ >50' from the house in some places. During setup, was given the option to set up MLO WiFi, aka Multi-Link Operation, which creates a second WiFi network that may provide higher throughput than the basic WiFi connection. It is not compatible with all devices, so likely best practice to connect lower need or 'potato quality' devices to the lower throughput base network (phones, TVs, tablets, guests, etc.). The fiber speed is around 300mbps. After extensive Speed Test usage to the point that they stopped allowing me to run Speed Test, both the Base WiFi and MLO WiFi performed similarly with possibly 10-20mbps higher average via MLO. My guess is that MLO may only be truly useful for gigabit connections. Going straight WiFi with these things doesn't add any significant latency or noticeable drop in throughput in my situation, but could be a concern in larger homes and/or when more walls/junk/metal is between mesh devices. Each of these has 2 ethernet ports, and hardwiring them together with ethernet cable will provide the strongest/fastest connection between mesh devices. The theoretical maximum reliable length is 328' (100 meters) for ethernet cable, so quality Cat6 cable could really put some distance between the main base and the 3rd mesh station (possibly with some WiFi dead spots in between). This is not unique to this system, as most mesh devices have 2 or more ethernet ports.
