1926 Automatic, Steel / Blue Vintage
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 the 1926
The Design
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.

Supports 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.
