The Shinola Runwell Automatic 45mm – Royal Blue Dial

Description

Owning an automatic is a rite of passage, like learning how to drive a stick shift or using your first cast-iron skillet. Automatics, which are self winding, reflect an appreciation of a time long before we had smartphones or the internet. The Shinola Runwell Automatic 45mm – Royal Blue Dial, an evolution of Shinola’s flagship timepiece, is designed with fresh new colors that pay homage to the early colorways of the Runwell. Featuring a matte royal blue vellum-textured dial and a premium leather strap in Kodiak, this heirloom-worthy timepiece is the epitome of the brand’s commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Powered by your motion, this Swiss automatic movement drives the hours, minutes, seconds and calendar aperture function. Twenty-six jewels help reduce friction to maintain accuracy, and with a 38-hour power reserve, you can trust this timepiece with your every move.

This 45mm polished stainless steel case features a classic pumpkin crown and double-domed sapphire crystal. Sapphire is second only to the diamond in hardness, helping protect the watch from scratches. The case back is a statement on its own with a domed design and a sapphire exhibition window to give outsiders a view of the watch’s workhorse movement and its rotor adorned with the signature Shinola bolt.

This matte blue enamel dial was specifically designed to highlight the refined printing of the numerals and indices. Features include a calendar aperture at the 3 o’clock marker, microtracking and Super-LumiNova hands in silver tones.

Smooth and sophisticated, this premium leather strap in Kodiak is the perfect complement to this 45mm Runwell Automatic. It’s also removable, making the timepiece customizable with the purchase of an additional strap.
