Varsity Automatic Watch with Blue Dial and Orange Accents #VW-04
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 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.
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 a football player at the University of Florida, Jadan Baugh. For each piece sold of this model, Jadan will receive $50 from Varsity Watch.
Jadan Baugh embodies the explosive potential and breakthrough performance that defines Florida Gators football. As a true freshman running back for the 2024 season, Baugh represents the Gators after an impressive high school career at Columbia High School in Decatur, Georgia, where he rushed for 1,583 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior while also contributing 28 receptions for 508 yards and 7 touchdowns. His versatility as a two-way player, including six interceptions on defense, showcased the complete athlete that caught Florida’s attention. Baugh made an immediate impact for the Gators, finishing his rookie campaign with 133 carries for 673 yards and 7 rushing touchdowns while earning Freshman All-SEC honors. His breakout performance came in his first career start against Kentucky, where he delivered a record-tying five rushing touchdowns on 22 carries for 106 yards - matching a school record previously held by Tim Tebow and Trey Burton. This historic performance earned him SEC Freshman of the Week honors and established him as a key weapon in Florida’s backfield. Baugh’s impressive 2.86 yards after contact average ranked 7th among SEC running backs, while his 33.16% broken tackle rate ranked 3rd in the conference. Beyond his athletic achievements, Baugh excelled academically with SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll recognition and built a strong relationship with running backs coach Jabar Juluke that influenced his commitment to the Gators over other Power 4 programs. As a proud ambassador for Varsity Watch, Baugh represents the values of opportunity, explosive performance, and leadership that make him a valuable asset both on the field and in promoting the brand’s commitment to supporting student-athletes who seize their moment to shine.
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.
