The Darby Edition is where Ridgeline Timepieces began.

Designed from the ground up as the inaugural watch for the 75th Ranger Regiment, the Darby Edition was built with one purpose: to be worn only by those who have earned the right. Named in honor of Brigadier General William O. Darby — founder of the modern Army Rangers — this timepiece carries the weight of that legacy in every detail.

Crafted from premium materials to the same exacting standards as every Ridgeline watch, the Darby Edition is built for the demands of Ranger life — rugged enough for the field, refined enough for any occasion. This is not a watch for everyone. It was never meant to be.

Designed and built by a Ranger for Rangers
Inaugural timepiece from Ridgeline Timepieces
Premium materials built for demanding environments
Named in honor of BG William O. Darby, founder of the Army Rangers
Designed exclusively for former and current members of the 75th Ranger Regiment

Please note: Proof of service is needed before purchase! Price for the watch will be emailed to you upon verification.

Every aspect of the Darby Edition design pays tribute to the legacy of the Regiment. The matte tan textured dial mimics the tan beret, the 7 and 5 are painted red representing the blood spilled by those who have defended our freedom, the rehaut inside the case is subtly engraved with a part of the Ranger Creed, the black PVD coated case offering reflects the history of the original black beret, custom engravings on the rotor, caseback, and left side bump out allow you to personalize your watch for the time you served in the Regiment. The custom NATO strap has the same colors of the Regimental flash. The sandwich dial has large military style cut-outs Arabic numerals and high end lume for easy viewing in all conditions, the extra thick raised sapphire crystal will protect the bezel finish and is easy to read at all angles.

Built for Adventure, Worn Everywhere

The TF Ranger Darby Edition has quickly become my go-to watch for just about everything. Whether I’m fly fishing, hunting, at work, or simply enjoying a day off, this watch is on my wrist. It strikes the perfect balance between rugged functionality and a classic, timeless look.

What really sets this watch apart is the attention to detail. From the custom-engraved Ranger scroll on the rotor and personalized callsign on the case bump-out to the Ranger Creed engraved along the inside of the dial, every detail is intentional. These subtle touches make it more than just a timepiece and give it a personal connection to the Ranger heritage.

It’s a watch that looks just as good in the field as it does in the office, and one I’m proud to wear. Ridgeline knocked it out of the park with this one. Highly recommend!

This is a great watch. It’s both rugged and elegant. It instantly became my favorite watch!

I absolutely love the watch, and get frequent comments on how unique and impressive it is. It’s truly an heirloom piece, but I wear it every day anyways!

Chris, really knocked it out of the park with this one. This was a quality product that was beyond my expectations and definitely worth the wait. Ridgeline did not cut any corners with this one. What a fantastic design. And the attention to detail masterfully assembled was just incredible. This is a timepiece that should be handed down from generation to generation. I will tell you, this is not my last Ridgeline timepiece!

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. A real value for a watch with this movement and quality. This is my first Ridgeline, but it definitely won't be my last. RLTW!

Great watch that’s not too heavy.

An absolutely outstanding time piece!
