Varsity Automatic Watch with Red Dial and White Accents #VW-03

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 Alabama, Cole Adams. For each piece sold of this model, Cole will receive $50 from Varsity Watch. 

Cole Adams embodies the world-class speed, competitive excellence, and remarkable resilience that defines Alabama Crimson Tide football. As a redshirt freshman wide receiver, Adams represents the Crimson Tide after an exceptional high school career at Owasso High School in Oklahoma, where he demonstrated elite athleticism both on the football field and track. His junior season showcased his explosive potential with 55 receptions for 913 yards and eight touchdowns, while also returning three kickoffs and two punts for touchdowns. Adams possesses legitimate world-class speed, posting remarkable times of 6.98 seconds in the indoor 60 meters, 10.65 seconds in the 100 meters, and 22.27 seconds in the 200 meters, making him one of the fastest players in college football. His 2024 season demonstrated both his emerging talent and incredible grit, as he earned his first career start at wide receiver against South Carolina despite playing through multiple injuries, contributing 6 catches for 94 yards while serving as Alabama’s primary punt returner. Adams exemplified true toughness by continuing to compete at the highest level even while battling through arm and leg injuries that ultimately ended his season, with coach Kalen DeBoer praising “the effort he put into that first injury” and noting “the toughness he has” as defining characteristics. Beyond his athletic achievements, Adams demonstrated exceptional character and leadership at Owasso, spending much of his time mentoring special needs students and serving as a positive influence in his community. As a proud ambassador for Varsity Watch, Adams represents the values of speed, character, resilience, and competitive excellence that make him a valuable asset both on the field and in promoting the brand’s commitment to supporting student-athletes who combine elite performance with genuine leadership and the grit to overcome adversity.

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.
