The Argonite 705

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.

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.

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.
Quick Release: Fitted with quick release pins, this strap is easy to change. No tools required. Watch the tutorial here.
