Over the last several years, Jack Mason has been steadily carving out a space in the premium independent tool-watch segment, and the Pursuit Pro is, to me, the clearest step forward yet for the relatively young brand. Prior to its announcement, Jack Mason reached out to see if we wanted to review their new release. I accepted without knowing anything else about the watch. I was sent the Shadow variant of the Pursuit Pro, with the black dial, black strap (and happily none of the fauxtina lume that shows up on the green-dialed \u201cHunter\u201d).<\/p>\n

Case and Bezel<\/h2>\n

In hand, the Pursuit Pro makes an immediate impression. The 40mm case paired with a 42mm bezel creates a nice optical illusion of wrist-PRESENCE, but without actually drifting into oversized territory. The proportions are commanding but perfectly wearable.<\/p>\n

The bezel is a highlight visually. It\u2019s a sunburst ceramic countdown bezel, bidirectional, with 120 clicks. The action is positive, though 60 clicks would have been plenty if you ask me. The ceramic insert is slightly recessed, sitting between the flat sapphire crystal and a proud steel bezel lip, which is intended to protect the ceramic from incidental boulder\/door-frame collisions. The build gives the bezel a framed, almost instrument-like look<\/p>\n

Dial and Lume<\/h2>\n

The dial borrows design language from the Pursuit Pilot, but upgrades it in ways that matter. The most important is the switch to 3D-printed Lumicast Arabic numerals, which instantly give the dial more depth and substance.<\/p>\n

At six o\u2019clock, the text block reads PRO \/ AUTOMATIC \/ 200m with a lightning bolt, a neat nod to the watch\u2019s anti-magnetic cage. It\u2019s a relatively busy text block, but I find it entirely charming.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the lume\u2026 Jack Mason has gone all-in here, with X2 Super-LumiNova and 3D Lumicast across the numerals, markers, and bezel. The hands and markers glow in green, while the bezel and numerals glow in a cool blue. The result is striking. It\u2019s not just bright in the first five minutes, either, remaining bright and legible many (many) hours later.<\/p>\n

Strap and Wearability<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m a bracelet guy, and at first I was disappointed to learn there isn\u2019t one available for the Pursuit Pro. (Jack Mason confirmed that the Pilot and Canton bracelets won\u2019t fit.) That said, my initial frustration has softened, in part because the two-piece nylon hook-and-loop strap is excellent \u2014 easily one of the best I\u2019ve used in this style.<\/p>\n

It uses a custom clasp that allows for quick resizing and infinite micro-adjustment. The quick-release system includes what appears to me to be a custom-machined release pin, which, while not revolutionary, was a nice touch. Over time, I came to really appreciate this setup. The watch wears light, secure, and comfortable, and it feels ready for anything.<\/p>\n

Case Finishing and Crown<\/h2>\n

The finishing here is better than I perhaps expected, having not spent a ton of time with Jack Mason; it\u2019s really spectacular. The brushing is fine-grained and consistent, with crisp ribbon chamfers running the length of both the top and bottom case edges. This was the thing that most impressed me about this watch, as finishing is something that so many companies do really well, but very few microbrands really nail. Jack Mason has nailed it.<\/p>\n

The oversized crown matches the watch\u2019s intent. It\u2019s easy to grip, screws down smoothly, and is simply a joy to use.<\/p>\n

Movement<\/h2>\n

Running the Pursuit Pro is the La Joux-Perret G101, a movement that\u2019s quickly becoming one of my favorites. Owned by Citizen, the G101 is basically a more refined Miyota 9000-series: slim, reliable, with a 68-hour power reserve. Notably for the Pursuit Pro, the G101 comes with an upgraded KIF Parechoc anti-shock system. Additionally, Jack Mason has wrapped the movement in an anti-magnetic cage, rated to 4,800 A\/m (~60 Gauss). Together, those upgrades make this watch feel properly \u201cPro-spec.\u201d

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

Jack Mason is pitching the Pursuit Pro as an adventure watch, and the numbers hold up:<\/p>\n
