Today on the podcast, Zach Kazan speaks with Andrew McLean, the founder of SëL Instruments, an independent watch brand based in Arizona. SëL specializes in rugged tool watches, that are proudly and obsessively overbuilt. The MK1 OmniDiver, the brand’s flagship product, is the end result of many years of R&D and destructive testing. The end result is a tool watch like nothing else on the market, with nearly every component built to spec in SëL’s Arizona workshop. Here, Andrew discusses the birth of SëL, what makes his brand unique in the watch industry, and a whole lot more.
