VINTAGE FEEL WITH MODERN DETAILING
At first glance it could be a pristine collectors item from 1971. Pick it up and turn it over in your hands. Feel the modern build quality and clean contemporary detailing that demonstrate this is no delicate vintage piece, but something you can wear every day without worry.
INSPIRED BY THE PAST BUILT FOR EVERY DAY
Whether you collect vintage chronographs or just want a watch for everyday, the Prototipo is an ideal fit. The water resistance means you can wear it in any setting where you wouldn't risk your vintage pieces, and the durable sapphire crystal will hold up much better than any vintage plastic piece. Plus the workhorse Seiko mecaquartz movement gives you the satisfaction of a watch that moves just like a mechanical watch, with 1/5th second sweep chronograph hand, and instant mechanical reset to zero.
THE WATCH THAT STARTED A CRAZE
When we originally created this watch in 2013, there was surprisingly no modern watch on the market with a 1970s style barrel case with sunburst brushing and a classic racing dial layout. The Prototipo Chronograph was at the leading edge of a revival of 70s style barrel cases, and has spawned a host of imitators. Own the original mecaquartz barrel case racing chronograph that set the trend in the microbrand space.
