Among them, one of the most important factors to consider is the watch’s size. Typically, a 40mm watch is more suited for people with a medium-sized wrist size. This makes them more suitable for men. However, finding the right men’s watch 40mm in size can be daunting. There are so many stores on the digital platform that can make the exercise an uphill task. Do you buy a quartz or mechanical watch? What material should the strap be? Leather or metal? All these questions should get answers especially if you are a new buyer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaking a Choice – Go for 40 mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost watches can be categorized into two groups: professional and classic timepieces. Generally, classic (dress) watches have a slim profile and have a leather strap. They are also made with quite fine materials. On the other hand, professional (sports) watches usually have a fabric strap, rubber band, or steel bracelet. Consider your budget when buying your choice of watch 40mm in size. Some professional watches can be quite costly but very stylish and durable. On the other hand, quartz watches tend to be more affordable than mechanical watches. This is mostly due to the materials that build them, and the level of expertise involved. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurchase a 40mm Watch at About Vintage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA watch is a long-term investment hence, getting the right supplier is important.

The moon's cycle: 29.53059 days
Moonphase complication explained
The moonphase indicator shows the current phase of the moon as seen from Earth, using a rotating disc with a moon and stars visible through a cutout on the dial. It advances slightly each day to match the real moon’s 29.5-day cycle. While mostly decorative today, it nods to early watchmaking, when moonphase tracking was used for navigation and calendars.
1968 Moonphase
Only 250 pcs
This is a rare release for us. We're bringing back the moonphase with a bold, eye-catching guilloché dial in a striking color. And trust us, when we say we're over the moon about this one, we mean it. Only 250 pieces will ever be made, making this a true collector’s item.
Will be delivered in two batches. 1st batch: 100 pieces - Beginning of April 2nd batch: 150 pieces - End of July

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.
Free engraving
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.
