Treat Yourself: The Vintage Rolex Capsule
Vintage Rolex watches enjoy a status like no other in the watch collecting world. As the bellwether for the vintage watch market and larger collectible scene as a whole, vintage Rolex commands staying power thanks to the strength of the brand and the charm and durability of its products. The Windup Watch Shop is proud to drop a special curated collection of vintage Rolex watches for your consideration. If "linen dial 1603", "matte dial, meters-first 5513" is your language, or if simply hearing "Oyster" gets you excited, you're in luck. Act quickly, as these watches are one of a kind and won't last. Shop the Rolex collection here.
Value-Packed Pick: Seiko 5 Sports Field Collection
Seiko 5 has been synonymous with “value” since forever, and the modern lineup is no exception. The Seiko SRPG33, with its olive dial and strap, are the perfect embodiment of the Seiko 5 field watch that was the gateway drug for so many of us in this hobby. This watch retains its wearable 39.4mm wide, 48.1mm long, case and upgraded 4R36 caliber (rest in peace, 7S26 movements) featuring hand-winding and hacking seconds. Under $300 all day long, these watches carry the proud banner of value into the modern era.
Upgrade Your Kit: Elko Arctic Tortoise
The Elko is proof that the best things often come in small packages. It contains all the DNA of The James Brand’s larger knives and packs a punch considering its size. Particularly designed to live on a keyring, the Elko, in addition to its stainless steel blade, contains a pry bar (appropriately called the All Things scraper) that works as a bottle opener, screwdriver, and pry tool. How’s that for a knife only 11 cm in total length?
When You Have Too Many Watches: Convoy Co Buttero Leather Watch Roll
A quality watch roll is a beautiful thing, and the Convoy Co Buttero Leather Watch Roll is certainly pretty. With space for up to four watches and a spring bar tool, this watch roll combines utility with premium materials. Italian Buttero vegetable-tanned leather meets hand-burnished beeswax finishing in a combination that makes for a gorgeous finish, and triple stitching ensures the longevity of an invaluable accessory. Scoop one today; your collection will thank you later.
Deal of the Week: Citizen Tsuyosa
Few watches have captured the mainstream public’s attention like the Citizen Tsuyosa (Japanese for “Strength”). It’s a strong and compelling product, indeed, measuring an attractive 40mm by 49mm with its integrated style bracelet and eye-popping dial colors. A modified and decorated Miyota movement makes this watch appealing to both the enthusiasts and casual collectors alike. At this special price, the Tsuyosa goes from “compelling proposition” to “outright bargain”.
