The Classic "Santos" Homage
A timeless tribute, assembled with care. There is a certain grace in geometry. This build is our dedicated homage to the sophisticated lines of the classic "Santos" silhouette. Rather than mass-producing, we focus our energy on the assembly, ensuring the brushed and polished square case is brought together with a steady hand. The crisp white dial and bold Roman numerals offer a look that feels just as right today as it did a century ago. Powered by the Seiko NH35 movement, it features an exhibition case back so you can watch the mechanical gears at work. It’s a refined dress piece that feels substantial yet comfortable for the daily grind.

The elements of a classic:

• The Living Heart: Ticking inside is the Seiko NH35 Automatic movement. We love its "hacking" feature, which allows you to pause time perfectly, and the screw-down display case back means you can flip the watch over to see the mechanical gears at work.

• The Canvas: A crisp white dial serves as the backdrop for bold black Roman numerals. It’s a look that feels just as right today as it did a century ago, protected by a curved mineral crystal that adds a soft, slightly domed warmth to the face.

• The Fit: The integrated stainless steel bracelet is designed to flow seamlessly from the case to your wrist. With solid end-links and a thoughtful mix of finishes, it’s a refined dress piece that feels substantial yet comfortable.

• The Daily Companion: While it carries a vintage elegance, it’s built for modern life. With 50m water resistance, it’s prepared for your daily routine and light water exposure alike.

From our workbench to you

Every one of these watches is hand-assembled right here in Australia. We take the time to build each piece to order, which is why we ask for a 2 to 4 week build time. This allows us to ensure that the parts are sourced and fitted just right before we send it to you with free worldwide shipping.

Tailored for you: While we love this classic configuration, we are always happy to adjust the dial, hands, or strap to your preference. If you have a specific vision in mind, please reach out, we’d be happy to assemble a version that feels uniquely yours.

Note: This is a custom-built homage, independently assembled by a couple of enthusiasts using high-quality aftermarket parts and a reliable Seiko movement.
