Movement The Argonite 705
The high-accuracy quartz movement — hand-assembled in Detroit — drives the hours, minutes, seconds and date aperture with precision. It is built in Detroit with Swiss and other imported parts.
Case SANDBLASTED GUNMETAL PVD CASE
This sandblasted gunmetal PVD case is the perfect complement to this timepiece’s cool gray dial. The case also features a classic pumpkin crown and sapphire crystal. Sapphire is second only to the diamond in hardness, helping protect the watch from scratches.
Dial MATTE COOL GRAY VELVET DIAL
A matte cool gray velvet dial acts as a sleek canvas for the timepiece's Super-LumiNova hands and applied Arabic numerals. A calendar aperture also adorns the dial above the 6 o’clock marker.
Strap CATTAIL BROWN LEATHER STRAP
This premium leather strap in cattail brown is the perfect complement to this timepiece. It's also removable, making the timepiece customizable with the purchase of an additional strap. Shinola leather straps are cut and sewn in America.
