When it comes to watches, “weird, wonderful, and complicated” rarely mix well with “value,” which makes Xeric such a fun anomaly of a brand. Not afraid of odd-shaped cases, wild colors, and unique ways of telling time, Xeric has forged a catalog unlike any other. You won’t find much that could be considered “on trend,” but you will find wandering hours, jump hours, and retrograde displays, mostly under $2,000, with many under $1,000.

The Sector began with the Volta, a small, retro watch with a late 20th-century vibe, a geometric case, oddly placed controls, and a double retrograde display. As millennials, it immediately spoke to the many hours we spent in arcades as children. For the Worn & Wound version, we kept what made the watch so appealing while creating a new, sector-inspired dial built around its unusual double retrograde display.

Rather than displaying every hour, the even numerals, ranging from 6 to 6, are larger and bolder, arranged along a curved index. A long, thin minute hand aligns with the minute track above, while the wider, skeletonized triangular hour hand glides along the hour index. At 36mm x 37mm and just 10.25mm thick, the Sector is compact, slim, and comfortable, recalling the digital watches that were often on our wrists in the ’90s.

Night Vision tells its story through shades of green against a black, gridded surface within a brushed-steel case. A darker green defines the lower arc and matching rubber strap, pale mint highlights the hour index and minute numerals, and acid green fills the upper arc. In the dark, all three glow bright green, while the hands glow white-blue for contrast.
