Windup Watch Shop - June 24, 2026

Welcome to The Roundup, Windup Watch Shop’s weekly curation of watches, EDC, and accessories. From "Value-Packed Picks" to our "Wild Card," we’ve found the best gear so you don’t have to. Don't forget you can stop by our Brooklyn Showroom to check any of these items out in person!

TREAT YOURSELF

The Marathon x Jeep Rubicon series lands in a different category entirely: a full SAR-spec dive watch built to Canadian Government requirements, dressed with Jeep collaboration details. The case gets an engraved seven-slot Jeep grille on the side, a Willys star on the knurled screw-down crown, and a caseback engraved with Jeep's motto and the words "Since 1941." The dial runs the same Jeep Wrangler 1941 Limited Edition typography as the Willys, but adds a distinctive red-line indicator repurposed as a 15-minute count-up — a nod to Jeep dashboard instrumentation.

The case is 41mm 316L stainless steel, 14mm thick, 48mm lug-to-lug with an oversized unidirectional dive bezel that runs 60 minutes with 120 clicks and is fully hashed. Lighting is dual-system: tritium gas tubes for passive constant illumination and MaraGlo on the remaining handset and dial elements. The GSAR ships with a 3-piece rubber strap kit in OD Green, with Black available as an add-on option. Powering the GSAR is a reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic with Incabloc shock protection, 26 jewels, and a date complication shared across both calibers. The Incabloc is a meaningful addition here: having shock protection integrated into the movement rather than bolted on as an afterthought reflects the SAR design brief these watches are built to.

VALUE PICK

The MTP‑1302D series delivers a timeless analog look with a modern twist—combining stainless steel bracelet construction, clean dial design and reliable quartz performance in a package that fits both daily wear and dress contexts. Whether you opt for the blue‑dial silver tone or the green dial variant, you get a watch that pairs sleek styling with practical utility. The case measures approximately 44.2mm lug-to-lug, 38.5mm width and a thickness of 9.2mm, blending presence with wearability. It’s constructed of ion‑plated stainless steel and paired with a matching steel bracelet, offering durability and a refined finish. The dial features a date display at 3 o’clock, and the watch is rated for 50m water resistance, making it well‑suited for everyday life. Inside ticks a dependable quartz movement: accurate, low maintenance and built to keep time without fuss. Combined with the sleek, slim profile and polished look, the MTP‑1302D series is a strong choice for someone who wants understated style and everyday reliability.

NOT ANOTHER WATCH!

Ithink we all agree that watches are serious business, but maybe we all deserve a bit of whimsy now and then? With that being said, we took some of our newest horology-inspired Worn & Wound characters and turned them into vinyl patches you can stick to hook-and-loop surfaces! With a touch of ’90s NYC-style, these timepiece personas are a fun accent for your bag, jacket, or anywhere else you might have some hook-and-loop.

UPGRADE YOUR EDC

The Embassy Pen has government contract origins — CountyComm acquired this batch directly from a surplus contract run, which is how it landed here. ULTEM® (polyetherimide) is the same material used in aircraft components, circuit boards, and medical sterilization equipment: a semi-transparent high-strength engineering plastic rated for high-temperature service environments. It’s not a material chosen just for its looks, but it does look pretty awesome.

The body is a 3-part ULTEM® construction at 5.25" x 0.50" diameter, weighing 0.75 ounces — roughly a fifth the weight of a roll of dimes, and substantially lighter than the titanium Embassy variant at 2.18 oz. The machined deep knurled grip runs the length of the working section for non-slip hold in field or wet conditions. Gen 2 construction eliminates the o-ring seal of earlier versions via an internal thread, connecting the tip to the back body, with beveled threading throughout. The titanium pocket clip is laser-engraved. The included Schmidt EasyFlow 9000M is a pressurized medium ballpoint rated from -30°F to +250°F — functional across temperature ranges that would sideline a standard refill.

THE WINDUP WILDCARD 

Echo/neutra expands its Rivanera lineup with the Ros'Antico, featuring a muted, antique pink dial paired with a sandblasted Grade 5 titanium case. Blued hands and a matching Saffiano leather strap offer a sharp visual contrast. It’s a calculated aesthetic balance: the dial's warmth is tempered by the titanium's matte grey tones, resulting in a piece that feels both sophisticated and distinct without being overly bold. The new Rivanera Ros’Antico retails for $1,810 and is currently available in our Windup Watch Brooklyn Showroom. If you’re unable to visit the showroom, please reach out to our staff via the “Inquire” button on the product page.

The Rivanera utilizes sandblasted Grade 5 titanium cases topped with flat sapphire crystals and exhibition casebacks. This rectangular silhouette draws from Art Deco inspiration while maintaining a modern edge, aided by the material's lightweight properties. The Rivanera weighs in at only 21g and features a 30-meter water resistance rating, making it a true dress watch. The Rivanera comes on blue Saffiano leather and includes a complimentary rubber strap, increasing its overall versatility.

Powering the Rivanera is the ETA 7001 in an elaboré finish. This manual-wind movement operates at 21,600 vph, provides a 42-hour power reserve, and features a classic small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. It’s a high-grade mechanical choice that looks just as good through the sapphire caseback as the dial does from the front.
