Read on to get into the full stories behind a few highlights of this group, or head over to the HODINKEE Shop now to check out the full selection. Nearly every watch this week has a detail that adds to the story and collectability. 1016 but with a glossy gilt dial, a vintage Datejust with "wide boy" hour markers, and a Universal Genève Tri-Compax from one of its first years of production. 1005 Oyster Perpetual from 1963 is great, but ours, with the added detail of a Serpico y Laino retailer signature, really jumps off the page. If pressed to propose a theme to this week in particular, it would be examples of classic models with all of the little details collectors seek. As we settle into 2021, our focus has been curating a selection that's broad in brand name, formality, and price point with every watch offered possessing the intrigue to be the crown jewel of a collection. Another Wednesday means yet another great group of vintage watches hitting the HODINKEE Shop.
