This version of the Workhorse is a limited edition collaboration between VERO and ADPT (“adapt” All Day, Purpose, and Terrain). A bright and colorful take on this modern sports watch, the collaboration utilizes the unique properties of Cerakote to create a bold aqua exterior with white flecks for a unique style. Aqua, white, fuschia, and a touch of yellow come together for a fun, summery look that still functions as a rugged tool watch.

Measuring 44.5mm x 49.5mm x 15.5mm, the dimensions of the Workhorse suggest a very large watch, however, on the wrist they are quite approachable, though certainly bold. Oversized crowns and pushers create the illusion of a smaller size and are easy to use even when in an active situation. The “destro” or left-side design adds to comfort on the wrist, as well as easy access to the internal bezel crown at two. The Cerakoted shroud is protected from scratches and dings via a metal-wire bumper, which also adds to the overall aggressive aesthetic.

The dial deftly mixes a clean, modern language with legibility for a watch that is stylish and functional. The sculpted shape adds a unique design element that further pushes the Workhorse’s modern aesthetic. Powering the Workhorse is the Miyota 62S1 quartz chronograph movement. Unlike most quartz chronographs, the 62S1’s chrono seconds hand ticks at 1/4th a second, for a smoother sweep and more accurate measurement. Additionally, it can time activities up to 60 minutes.
