1926 At'Sea Automatic

Our 1926 collection has now evolved to feature a fully automatic mechanism, inspired still by the game changing year of 1926, that altered the future of sea exploration.

The 1926 Automatic is a limited collaboration between About Vintage and Jonathan Harboe. The elegant design of the hermetically sealed case, featuring a larger bezel with vintage aesthetics, has been carefully designed by hand - with every detail accounted for. After years of work, we can now, together with Jonathan Harboe, proudly present the latest addition to our collection, establishing a fully automatic diving watch as an everyman luxury.

About Vintage X Jonathan Harboe

The 1926 AT'SEA Automatic is designed in collaboration with the Danish actor and friend of the brand, Jonathan Harboe. Jonathan has designed his dream watch and we think it has become the coolest diving watch on the market.
But why listen to us?

THE DESIGN

"The watch became a combination of About Vintage's Scandinavian design and my love for the maritime," says Jonathan Harboe about the design of the 1926 AT'SEA Automatic.

The watch has several vintage-inspired design elements. It includes a curved sapphire crystal glass, a flat bezel and a lowered dial with luminescent hour indicators (dots) to create the right vintage feel. We have chosen to add luminescent dots and hands, so you can keep track of time - even in the dark. As the icing on the cake, we have a screw-on crown shaped like an onion to commemorate the first diving watch.

Limited Edition

All three models in our 1926 AT'SEA Automatic collection are limited to 999 pieces of each. This makes the collection one of our most exclusive to date. The watches were released in two pre-order productions and all pre-order packages were quickly sold out. Now we welcome the 1926 AT'SEA Automatic to our family of permanent collections - at least until it's sold out.

THIS COLLECTION SUPPORTS THE OCEAN CLEANUP

To support the action taken to preserve our planet's oceans, About Vintage and Jonathan Harboe have decided to donate a portion of all of the proceeds to The Ocean Cleanup. Owning the 1926 Automatic will not only act as a reminder of the significant evolution in watch manufacturing, but also as an ode to helping in the preservation of our world's oceans.

We hope that our newest addition to the 1926 AT'SEA collection will expand your horizons on what it means to wear a diving watch, in addition to raise your awareness on aiding our oceans.

A stunning piece

This is my third About Vintage watch and it is stunning both in design and craftsmanship. I added the heavy mesh strap and it enhances even more the look of this watch.

軽くて使いやすいけど…

気に入ったところは、ベゼルのカチカチとした気持ちいい音。シンプルなデザイン、ドットインデックスとベゼル幅のバランス。一日着けていても疲れない軽さです。いまいちどは、ステンレスブレスの安っぽさ、クラスプの端の面取り、ハック機能がない(ミヨタ8215じゃしょうがないと解っていましたが)、ムーブメントの性能(日差+20秒でした)です。本体の仕上げやサファイアガラス使用にも関わらず腕乗りは良好でコスパ良いと思います。改善点修正後10万円超えしてしまうとTISSOTと競合してしまう価格帯なので、初めてのお洒落な海外機械式が欲しい人には刺さると思います。これからのご発展を期待し、楽しませていただきます。

고급스럽고 조아요, 단 사이즈 파이가 약간 더 커졌으면…하는 마음

다들 시계파이가 조금 작게 느껴진다고들 하네요

안녕하세요 고객님,

Great watch for everday use

Great watch for everyday use, cool design, and awesome vintage inspired look. I really like the functionality. The only drawback of the watch is the movement, as it has a Miyota 800 with day and date functions, which are then ghosted for this watch.

Hi Abdul,

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest experience with us! We appreciate all the kind words about the design and functionality of our watches, and the constructive feedback as well.

Wishing you an awesome day!

Best Regards,
Alexander
About Vintage

Our mission

Keeping track of the moments in time

By creating the alternative to the watch in the safety box, we have a vision to be relevant today, tomorrow and beyond. A focus to make simple, affordable, yet spectacular timepieces that last a lifetime. For us, vintage is not just a reference of style; it is the journey to becoming it. The journey will take you through eventful moments and memorable days to occasions that change your whole perspective. We hope that one day your watch will make you look back at it all.

Make moments, give it history - let it become vintage.

TIMELESS DESIGN

BUILT TO LAST

STEEL & GOLD

We use 316L surgical-grade stainless steel from Finland, which is commonly used for fine watches and jewelry worldwide. Additionally, our models with gold plating are, of course, made with genuine ISO-certified gold plating, ensuring that the precious metals can withstand the test of time.

SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

We only use highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on all our models, combined with an anti-reflective coating for better visibility. Our products are made with Japanese precision. It may be expensive, but it is the key to lifelong quality.

MOVEMENTS (CALIBER)

We carefully select Swiss and Japanese-made quality movements, as they are simply the best in the world. We choose specific calibers from Miyota, Sellita, and TMI that have been real-world tested and proven to be 'workhorses' for optimal durability.

A-GRADE FACTORIES

We use A-grade factories and suppliers for all components, making a difference in all the small but important details. Everything, from the feel of the round steel edges to the quality feel and weight of the bracelets, dial details, quality control, and certified work environment ethic.

No tools needed

New look in seconds

All our watches are made with a quick release system for the straps and bracelet. This means, you can easily change between straps or bracelets, to give your watch a whole new look. Pop on the silicone strap for sport activities and change it to the steel bracelet for the night out.

Tell your own story

Every moment counts, and every watch tells a story. With our complimentary engraving service, your timepiece becomes more than just a way to track hours and minutes; it becomes a personal testament to your journey. Whether it's a date, a name, or a special message, we'll engrave it on the case back, turning your watch into a timeless keepsake. It's our way of helping you mark those eventful moments and memorable days. After all, our mission is not just about creating watches, but about making moments. Let your watch be a reflection of your story, and one day, let it become vintage.
