Following hot on the heels of our review of the Rogue Warrior Avenger, let us introduce the Red Cell. Named after the unofficial title of Richard Marcinko's Navy security team, the Red Cell combines some interesting technology with a rough-and-tumble case and crystal guard.

Rogue Warrior is a new brand making hardcore watches for people who expect their watch to make it through just about anything. Rogue Warrior's tag line reads "When bad-ass is not bad ass enough." Is this simply marketing fluff, or is this a watch that sets a new standard in resilience?

Let's start with the specs:

• Stainless steel case.
• Japanese quartz movement with GMT hand.
• 44mm wide.
• 4mm anti-glare sapphire crystal.
• Superluminova and Kryptolite illumination system.
• Krypton gas filled case.
• d3o shock absorbing system.
• 3-year battery.
• 20 ATM water resistance (200m/660ft).

In the past few years, there has been a noticeable trend for watches to be ultra-rugged, apparently designed for tougher, more demanding people. Watches have always been made to certain rigorous standars -- thus Sir Edmund Hillary was able to wear a Rolex explorer to the top of Mount Everest. Today we look at a different breed of tough watches from a company whose leadership is firmly rooted at "the edge".

Rogue Warrior Watches is the wrist-borne brain child of one Richard Marckino who has an extensive history in the American military and special ops. Marcinko is the "Rogue Warrior" and has extended this brand into video games, books, knives, and now his own watch company. Rogue Warrior Watches make three models available with your choice of finish and strap. Today, we will be taking a look at their quartz chronograph: the Avenger Silver.
