Varsity Automatic Watch with White Dial and Blue Accents #VW-01

Limited Series of 100 units.

Powering the Varsity VW-01 is the Made in Japan Miyota 8205 movement. The 8205 is an automatic movement that handwinds and hacks, and has a power reserve of 40 hours. As it is a vertical day configuration, there is only one language on the day wheel (English). The 39mm case is just 13mm thick (13.5mm including the dome of the sapphire crystal) and a very cozy 47mm lug to lug. A screwdown crown ensures a full 200 meters of water resistance.

Instead of a traditional dive timer bezel, we have included a bi-directional dual time bezel, which is a great way to track a second time zone. The insert is ceramic, so it resists scratching. Telling the time is a snap with syringe style hands with accented color tips.

Securing the VW-01 to your wrist is a matching blue rubber strap with white keepers, and a bonus nylon strap in the same color scheme is included. Both straps have quick release spring bars to allow for quick changes with no tools.

If you desire a bracelet for your watch, we also offer a matching bracelet. It tapers from the 20mm lug width to 18mm at the 4 position micro-adjust clasp. The bracelet is solid link, and solid endlink, and is easily sized with an included screwdriver. The H-links are brushed on the tops and side, with a note of high-polish on the top and bottom edges of the center links. This provides a bit of visual ‘pop’ as your wrist moves. The bracelet also uses quick release spring pins.

Created by a fellow watch enthusiast, Varsity Watch differs in its marketing approach. While most watch brands target existing enthusiasts, Varsity Watch engages directly with team fan bases, creating an entry point into the watch hobby through team pride.

At its core, Varsity Watch transforms time-checking from a source of anxiety into moments of authentic team connection. It celebrates the dedication that happens away from the spotlight and creates timepieces that honor both watchmaking tradition and team spirit.
