Hand-picked independent and microbrand watches worth a closer look — the same five every member woke up to.
Curve Chrono MKII
$1,099
Straton specializes in 60s/70s racing-chrono revivalism, and the Curve Chrono MKII channels the cushion-cased Heuer/Hamilton era with a curved sapphire and a Seiko NE88 column-wheel automatic chronograph — a movement spec usually found on watches three times the price. Sean's blend of vintage motorsport aesthetics and proper mechanics.
ERA - METEORITE (Édition Limitée)
$576
The OMNIS ERA - METEORITE (Édition Limitée) pairs a striking meteorite dial with luminous indices and a robust 41.5mm case, available in both stainless steel and black PVD finishes. Driven by a customized automatic Miyota 8215 movement visible through a transparent caseback, this limited edition of only 100 numbered pieces features a comfortable black rubber strap and sapphire crystal protection.
