Varsity Automatic Watch with White Dial, Grey and Red Accents #VW-06

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 grey rubber strap with red 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 Lee Ellis, a baseball player at Ohio State University. For each piece sold of this model, Lee will receive $50 from Varsity Watch. 

Lee Ellis captures the competitive fire and scholarly dedication that defines Ohio State Baseball. As a sophomore for the 2024-25 season, Ellis represents the Buckeyes after transferring from the University of South Carolina, where he played his freshman season following an exceptional high school career at Bishop McNamara High School in Maryland and Pro5 Baseball Academy in North Carolina. His prep achievements included being named the No. 1 overall prospect in Maryland by Perfect Game, earning the 85th national ranking, and capturing two All-Washington Catholic Athletic Conference First Team selections while hitting .320 with 13 home runs in his high school career. Ellis has made a significant impact at Ohio State, appearing and starting in 38 games during the 2024-2025 season while batting .296 with 42 hits, seven home runs, 34 RBIs, and 30 runs scored, including going 7-for-8 in stolen bases. His clutch performances have included career-high achievements such as three hits in multiple games and a career-high four RBIs against Alabama, showcasing the explosive potential that made him a top-100 national prospect. As a proud ambassador for Varsity Watch, Ellis represents the values of resilience, excellence, and competitive drive that make him a valuable asset both on the diamond and in embodying the brand's mission to support dedicated student-athletes who pursue greatness at the highest level.

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.
