Straton Speciale Automatic

Description

Simply put, this popular microbrand watch screams 1970s automotive racing more than any other modern chronograph we know of, with it’s deep curved rounded oblong cushion case, subtle sunburst effect, and matching square sub-dials with rounded corners. The colors, such as the orange highlights on the custom hands and indices, perfectly match the period in what is a very unique design that somehow feels like it’s been around for quite a while. This watch tends to get noticed and a lot of complements. It’s loud yet tasteful, different yet familiar, and one of a kind. Instantly recognizable by avid microbrand watch collectors, the Straton Speciale epitomizes Straton as a brand. The specifications on this watch also make it a surprisingly robust timepiece, more so than it’s 1970s counterparts, with a reliable movement, scratch resistant sapphire glass, scratch resistant DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating on the case – virtually as hard as a diamond – and a 100 meter water rating you can comfortably go swimming with. Each Straton Speciale comes with carefully color-matched vintage-style leather rally straps as well as a convenient travel case.
