The Duck Watch

Shinola’s The Duck Watch is highly capable surf watch that has been crafted by people who stay in the shallow end. Landlubbers though though they may be, Shinola made the only seafaring watch you’ll ever need. Shinola-style.

Runwell 41mm Watch

Boasting a high-accuracy quartz movement — hand-assembled in Detroit with Swiss and other imported parts — this is what drives the hours, minutes and seconds with precision of Shinola’s awesome looking Runwell 41mm watch.

The Sea Creatures Watch

Protecting the earth’s natural resources is a movement Shinola believe in. In turn, The Sea Creatures Watch uses the Argonite 715—the brand’s own movement. This high-accuracy quartz movement, which is hand-assembled in Detroit with Swiss and other imported parts, drives the hours, minutes, seconds and calendar aperture function with precision.

The Traveller Watch

From the slender profile to the squared lugs, the 42mm stainless steel case of the Traveller Watch from Shinola is is elevated and timeless as they come. Two pusher buttons, a pumpkin screw-down crown, and domed sapphire crystal complete the look.

The Canfield Chrono Watch

Smooth and sophisticated, the leather strap of the Shinola Canfield Chrono Watch will develop a patina over time, enhancing the overall character of the timepiece. This strap is cut and sewn in America and is removable and customisable with the purchase of an additional strap.

The Runwell Watch

The classic alabaster dial of the Shinola Runwell comes with a matte velvet finish and it is punctuated by printed Arabic numerals. An alabaster sub dial helps keep track of seconds, and the red sub-second hand and Shinola Detroit logo add a signature pop of colour.

The Prep Detrola Watch

Made from TR90 resin, a material known for its strength, the 43mm candy red case of the Prep Detrola Watch from Shinola is anchored by a stainless steel core, and the dial is protected by double-domed K1 crystal, the hardest, most durable mineral crystal.

The Middle Child Watch

The Middle Child Watch from Shinola reveals the inner workings of the movement with a translucent dial, featuring the Shinola Detroit logo as well as the Detrola collection logo. It’s accented with bright white numerals and Super-LumiNova hands.
