Why FKM

FKM (fluoroelastomer) is the premium rubber used on high-end sport and luxury watches. It resists sweat, salt water, UV, oils and everyday chemicals, so it holds its color and shape.

Unlike silicone, it doesn't dry out and crack or pick up lint. It stays dense and soft on the wrist.

Why it's worth it

The full kit, not just the watch.

Many watches arrive on one strap, and the extras come later as separate purchases. NIGHTSTRIKE comes complete from day one.

A second look

An engraved deployant clasp

Black, engraved RESURGE.

Tool-free quick-release

Change looks in seconds, with no tools and no trip to a jeweler.

A link-sizing tool

Size the bracelet yourself, at home.

A travel case

Room for the watch and its spare bracelet.

A sapphire exhibition caseback

Engraved, numbered, with the NH36 automatic on view.

Accessories like these are often sold separately. Here, they're all in one box.

Warranty

Five years. Covered.

Most microbrands offer a one- or two-year warranty. Every NIGHTSTRIKE carries a 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. It covers the watch itself, not just the movement, and it transfers to the next owner if you ever pass it on. We back it this long because we built it to last.

Our story

Same roots. Higher standard.

Before RESURGE, there was a small shop in Missouri. For nearly 17 years, Jeff Forbush ran 4Bush WRS, a refinishing shop that coats metal parts in Cerakote, a tough ceramic finish built to hold up to hard use. Every job went out one piece at a time, and nothing left the shop until it was good enough to put his name on.

RESURGE takes that same habit into watchmaking: sweat the details, finish it right, and tell people straight what's in the box. Founded by an Army veteran. Designed in USA. Backed by a 5-year warranty.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What movement does it use?

A Japanese NH36, a self-winding automatic with day and date, visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback.

Is the movement tested before it ships?

Yes. Every NIGHTSTRIKE is regulated before it ships, with a hand-filled timing card in the box.

How big is it?

The case is 42mm across, 51.5mm lug to lug and 12.6mm thick including the crystal, with 22mm lugs. The strap tapers from 22mm to 18mm.

Which straps are included?

Both. It arrives on the black FKM strap with deployant, and the matte black PVD-coated 316L steel bracelet is packed as the spare. You choose a stitch color: Drive (red), Focus (yellow), Progress (green), Momentum (orange) or Perspective (blue). The bracelet and strap swap without tools using quick-release.

Will the bracelet fit my wrist?

A link-sizing tool comes in the box so you can size it at home.

How water resistant is it?

Water resistant to 200m. Every watch is pressure-tested at the factory. The crown and caseback both screw down.

Is the waitlist the same as the Founders 100?

No. The waitlist is free and just gets you first access. The Founders 100 are the first 100 numbered NIGHTSTRIKE watches, 20 in each color, offered to the waitlist first when preorders open.

Is Founders 100 per color or total?

100 watches total, 20 in each of the five colors. When a color’s 20 are claimed, that color’s Founders run is closed.

Is every NIGHTSTRIKE numbered?

Yes. Founders are numbered 001 to 100. Regular NIGHTSTRIKE watches continue from 101 up.

Can I pick my number?

No. To keep it fair for everyone, we don’t take number requests. Serials are assigned at the factory across all five colors, and they aren’t tied to the order in which people sign up or order.

How much will NIGHTSTRIKE cost?

Founders pricing: $350 to $400 for the full kit, with the steel bracelet and the FKM strap in one box. Waitlist members hear the exact price first.

How does the waitlist work?

Join with your email and pick a color. Earlier sign-ups get earlier access to order before the public release. Signing up is free and doesn't commit you to buy.

When does it launch?

Waitlist members hear the date first.

Where do you ship, and how fast?

The first run ships to the United States only. Founders 100 watches ship within 5 days of the Founders batch arriving at RESURGE in the US. Outside the US? Join the waitlist. We'll tell you first if we open international shipping for a future run.

What if it isn't right for me?

Unworn watches can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Your watch is covered by a 5-year limited warranty.

Does RESURGE ever go on sale?

Not the way most brands do. RESURGE never runs a sale of 15% or more. We price every watch fairly from the start, around what it takes to build it right and stand behind it, with no padded margin waiting to be cut later. That's how we keep the business running and keep backing every watch we sell. It also means you'll never see a RESURGE price slashed in half next month. The best price we'll ever offer is the 15% Founders 100 owners get on everything we make.

What’s different about Founders?

The Founders mark, numbers 001 to 100 and the perk. Those never come back.

Can I sell it or give it away?

Yes. The perk goes with the watch. We verify each transfer with a photo and the serial.

Refunds?

Pre-orders may be cancelled at any time prior to shipping for a full refund. Email us with your name and order number.

Fine print: the perk is for one registered owner at a time, can’t be combined with other discounts, and RESURGE may decline a transfer.
