Announcing the New OUTCAST Marksman Dial – Precision Meets Functionality
We’re excited to announce the next evolution of our tool watches—a precision shooter’s dial built for those who demand real-world functionality on their wrist. Designed with crosswind correction multipliers and MOA/MIL conversions, this dial is made for long-range shooters, providing quick reference data for real-time adjustments.
Specs & Offerings
- Dial Size: 28.5mm
- Movement: NH35 Automatic
- Lume: Still under consideration, but at minimum, the hour index circles will be lumed
- Water Resistance: 5ATM with a see-through caseback or 10ATM+ with a solid caseback
- Case Styles:
- Explorer-style case – compact and functional
- Submariner-style case – robust with our signature OUTCAST bezel
- Potential third case option – a custom no-bezel case, inspired by the Marlon Brando Apocalypse Now GMT Rolex (not yet confirmed.)
- Finishes: Stainless Steel or PVD Black
- Bracelet & Strap Options: Stainless steel bracelet, rubber strap, or leather strap
Built on a Proven Foundation
We’re sticking with the SAME manufacturer from our last 400% funded Indiegogo campaign—the SAME case sets and bracelets, that received ZERO returns and high satisfaction from backers. This ensures quality and reliability remain at the core of this release.
For Both Watch Collectors & Modders
We will be offering both complete NH35-powered watches and loose parts for the modding community. This means builders and enthusiasts can integrate this unique dial into their own projects or pick up a fully assembled timepiece, or purchased in bundles of 3, for those that want more than one.
Sign Up for Updates, and/or prepay $5 now, for 20% off, later
This new project will once again be crowdfunded via Indiegogo, so early sign-ups will be the first to know when it goes live, and those that pre-pay $5 today at their site will get 20% off the purchase, later.
We are still finalizing the hands and additional details. To stay informed on launch timing, early access, and backer rewards, sign up now to receive email updates.

HOW OUTCAST Marksman Dial HELPS
The Marksman Dial is designed to provide quick, reliable reference points for long-range shooting adjustments, specifically crosswind corrections and MOA/MIL conversions. Here’s a simple breakdown of these terms and their practical applications in long-range shooting:
-
MOA (Minute of Angle) – This is an angular unit used for adjusting a rifle scope. 1 MOA ≈ 1.047 inches at 100 yards (rounded to ~1″ for quick reference). Since it’s angular, it scales with distance—2″ at 200 yards, 5″ at 500 yards, etc.
-
MIL (Milliradian) – Another angular unit, used in many military and tactical scopes. 1 MIL = 3.6 inches at 100 yards, which also scales with distance (e.g., ~36 inches at 1,000 yards).
-
How They Apply – Both are used to adjust for bullet drop (elevation) and windage (side-to-side movement)when dialing or holding over in a scope. Some scopes adjust in MOA, some in MIL, so knowing how to convert between them helps when using different optics, ballistic charts, or working with spotters.
-
Crosswind Correction Multipliers (How Wind Affects Your Shot) – Wind doesn’t always come directly from the side; it can hit at an angle. Instead of using the full wind value, shooters use a correction multiplier based on wind direction.
- 90° (Full Value Wind) – If the wind is hitting directly from the side (perpendicular to your shot), you apply 100% of the wind’s effect.
- 45° Angle (Partial Value Wind) – A diagonal wind doesn’t push the bullet as much, so you apply ~71% of the wind value instead of the full amount.
- 30° or Less (Minimal Effect) – A more shallow wind angle only affects the bullet slightly, so the correction is ~50% or less.
-
How the Watch Helps – The dial provides a quick reference for crosswind multipliers so you can instantly adjust for wind direction instead of doing mental math in the field. It also includes an MOA-to-MIL conversion chart, so if your data is in one system but your scope adjusts in another, you can make fast, accurate corrections.
Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. Crosswind Correction Multipliers – Making Wind Adjustments
The numbers along the outer track of the dial represent wind correction multipliers at various shooting angles. These multipliers help you calculate how much windage adjustment is needed based on wind direction relative to your target.
How to Use It:
-
-
-
- Determine wind direction relative to your target.
- Find the angle of the wind on the dial (e.g., 90° from the side, 45° diagonal, etc.).
- Multiply the full-value wind hold (wind speed × ballistic coefficient factor) by the number shown at that angle.
- Adjust your windage turret or hold accordingly.
-
-
Example:
-
-
-
- If the wind is 10 mph coming from 90° (direct crosswind), use the full wind value (1.0 multiplier).
- If the wind is at a 45° angle, multiply by 0.71 to get the correct wind hold.
-
-
2. MILS to MOA Conversion – Adjusting Between Angular Systems
The Marksman Dial also includes quick-reference conversions between MILS and MOA, two common angular adjustment systems in optics.
How to Use It:
-
-
-
- If your scope is in MOA and you have data in MILS, use the formula:
1 MIL ≈ 3.4 MOA - The dial includes 1 MIL ≈ 3.6″ at 100 yards, reinforcing common range estimations.
- If your scope is in MOA and you have data in MILS, use the formula:
-
-
Example:
-
-
-
- If a ballistic chart says adjust 2 MILS up, but your optic is in MOA, multiply:
2 MIL × 3.4 = 6.8 MOA adjustment.
- If a ballistic chart says adjust 2 MILS up, but your optic is in MOA, multiply:
