Varsity Automatic Watch with Green Dial, Yellow and White Accents #VW-08

Copy of Varsity Automatic Watch with Green Dial, Yellow and White Accents #VW-08

Limited Series of 100 units.

Powering the watch 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 it to your wrist is a matching green rubber strap with yellow 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.

Varsity Watch was born from a simple question: "What if glancing at my watch could remind me of my school or team, creating joy instead of stress?" Instead of the stress some may experience with a smart watch programmed with alarms and alerts, the vision of Varsity Watch focuses on supporting under-the-radar student-athletes through meaningful NIL partnerships while introducing team fans to their first quality timepiece.

Sales of this model directly support Aaliyah McCormick, a track and field athlete at the University of Oregon. For each piece sold of this model, Aaliyah will receive $50 from Varsity Watch. 

Aaliyah McCormick embodies the speed and academic excellence that defines Oregon Track & Field. As a junior for the 2024-25 season, McCormick represents the Ducks after an exceptional high school career in San Diego where she captured multiple CIF San Diego Section Division II championships, including back-to-back titles in the 100-meter hurdles (2021, '22) and additional victories in the 100 meters (2022) and 300 hurdles (2021). Her high school success included being part of a CIF state champion 4x100 relay team and earning five total CIFSDS championships. McCormick has flourished at Oregon, making history during the 2024-2025 season by capturing the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship in the 100-meter hurdles with a winning time of 12.81 seconds at Hayward Field. Her breakthrough performance came after overcoming injury setbacks, as she became just the third Oregon woman to break the 13-second barrier in the event. Beyond the track, McCormick maintains excellence in her academic pursuits while representing the values of championship-level performance. As a proud ambassador for Varsity Watch, McCormick exemplifies the values of perseverance, excellence, and determination that make her an outstanding representative both in competition and in advancing the brand's commitment to supporting elite student-athletes.

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 the same time, it champions the student-athletes who dedicate countless hours to their craft but don't always receive the recognition or opportunities that come to star players.

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.
