Winter Watches

If, like us here at The Coolector, you’ve got a pretty big passion for microbrand watch brands, you’ll always be keeping your ear to ground to make sure you don’t miss out on any awesome ones and we’ve just discovered another to add to our list of fantastic looking American watch brands in the shape of Winter Watches. Their exemplary looking field watches are made to last. High quality features at a reasonable price is the ethos of the brand and that’s certainly something we can all get behind.

Taking their design inspiration from military and explorer style watches, these timepieces are both highly legible and incredibly robust. If you want to wear your watches everywhere we go and not worry about whether it can take it or not, Winter Watches is unquestionably the brand for you. The brainchild of Rob Winter, who ignited his love for watches when as a kid he found a 1970’s Porsche Design Chronograph lost in the coral while snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. He has been fascinated by the intersection of design and function since that day. Winter Watch Co. was created when Rob decided to follow his passion after many years as a creative production director/designer and illustrator. And we’re mighty glad he did because his flagship timepieces look great.

FANTASTIC VALUE FOR MONEY

The excellent looking field timepieces from Winter Watches – which currently consists of The Tactical, The Classic, The Outfitter and The Modern Classic – are superb value for money and can be on your wrist this spring for a mere $295. An adventure watch of this calibre and aesthetic superiority often costs a lot more so if you’re after an affordable, top-performing timepiece that doesn’t break the bank, Winter Watches should definitely be on your list of brands. Designed and tested in the U.S.A, Winter Watches set out to make a timepiece that would tell time, no questions asked, no excuses made.
