The Vanguard

See both dials
Vantos

Precision you can feel.

An ombré sunburst dial that runs from bright at the centre to almost black at the rim, under a fluted bezel cut to catch the light. Solid stainless steel, forty millimetres across and ten thin, with the weight of a watch that costs a great deal more.

The watch

Why it feels like more.

ICON

A dial that moves

Brushed into a true sunburst before the colour goes on, then shaded dark toward the rim. Deep olive or amethyst — colours you will not find on another watch at this price.

ICON

Day and evening

In daylight the centre opens up and the colour reads clearly. Indoors it closes to near-black and passes for a dress watch. One watch, both halves of the day.

ICON

Proper weight

Solid stainless steel, around 137 grams. Forty millimetres across and only ten thin, so it has presence on the wrist without sitting high or catching on a cuff.

ICON

Nothing to think about

A Japanese movement that keeps better time than most mechanical watches, three years on a battery, and 50 metres of water resistance. Wear it and forget it.

Shaped to catch light.
The case

Shaped to catch light.

Brushed across the flats, mirror-polished along every bevel, with a fluted bezel that throws light as the wrist turns. The case sits low and wide rather than tall, so it wears like a dress watch and still takes a rolled sleeve.

Down on the flank, the crown is screwed down and carries the V, cut into the steel and polished inside.
