Dakota Watch Company's Flint Clip Carabiner Watch integrates multiple outdoor tools into an elevated-carabiner pocket-watch design. The watch contains a waterproof flint-rod stored in the body; unscrew and scrape it with a knife to produce sparks that ignite tinder for campfires, torches, or emergency signals. The body includes a built-in bottle opener and a slight serrated corner suitable for cutting rope or scraping the flint. A discreet red LED microlight, activated by a button at the 2 o'clock position, provides low-visibility illumination without destroying night vision. The red light allows visibility in stealth scenarios and avoids blinding users when turned off.
"However, each individual watch has its own unique selling point - and for the Flint (as its name rightfully suggests), it's the waterproof flint-rod that's integrated into the watch's body. Unscrew it when you want to start a fire, scrape on the rod using a pocket knife, and sparks immediately shoot off, igniting any form of tinder, creating a tiny fire that can then be harnessed to light a campfire, an old-fashioned torch, or an emergency signal in a time of distress."
"A built-in bottle opener lets you crack open a brew when you're in the great outdoors, and it could be used to pry open lids too (not to be mistaken with a can opener). A slight serrated corner above the bottle opener doesn't outline a specific purpose, but it looks sharp enough to cut through rope with a little vigorous action."
"Build almost exclusively for the outdoors, the Flint Clip Carabiner Watch also packs a discreet red LED microlight, used for illuminating the way in stealth scenarios where bright lights could give away your position. The red light (activated using a button at the 2 o'clock position) provides the right amount of visibility without necessarily blowing your cover or obscuring your low-light vision in the dark."
