Shinola Traveller Watches

Shinola have long been one of our favourite American watchmakers here at The Coolector and they’ve hit the right notes again with their latest timepiece release – the Traveller Collection of watches. Stylish, affordable and made from quality components, these top notch timepieces are going to turn plenty of heads this spring and if you’re after a high quality watch for under $1k, you’re going to find the ideal candidate in this new collection. The Traveller Collection from Shinola are a road-ready series of timepieces fit for any adventure.

With prices starting at an entirely reasonable $850, you don’t have to break the bank to get your hands on one of these devilishly dapper timepieces from Shinola. If you’re already a fan of the aesthetic of the watches from Shinola, the Traveller Collection is more of the excellent same with some striking dial designs that we’re loving here at Coolector HQ. Exemplary design and craftsmanship is the order of the day with these watches and if you’ve got travel on the agenda again for 2022, this is the watch you need by your side.

TAKE YOUR PICK

There are four different versions of the Traveller Watch from Shinola to choose from – two different Alabaster ones, a Black and Golden version – so you’ll be able to find one that tallies with your own style sensibilities. Priced at under $1k, these watches represent superb value for money in our opinion and each one is a steady companion with a classic, everyday silhouette that won’t let you down when push comes to shove. The paper vellum textured dials and lived-in colourways are directly inspired by the sand dunes of Michigan.

The Traveler Chrono Series of watches from Shinola (from $850) features two sub dials, classic chronograph pusher buttons, a calendar aperture at 6 o’clock, and is finished with a woven canvas or whip stitch leather strap. There is a real sense of class to this collection from Detroit based lifestyle brand, Shinola, and these are probably our favourite timepieces to date from them. They boast a high-accuracy Argonite 5021.D quartz movement—hand-assembled in Detroit with Swiss and other imported parts— which drives the hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and calendar aperture with an unparalleled precision.

From the slender profile to the squared lugs, the 42mm stainless steel case of the Traveller Watch is elevated and timeless. Two pusher buttons, a pumpkin screw-down crown, and domed sapphire crystal complete the aesthetic of these infinitely elegant accessories from Shinola. You can choose from a comfortable, robust woven canvas strap or a premium whip-stitch leather strap that will patina gracefully over time and tell a tale of the adventures you’ve had with your watch. Wear both with confidence from coast to coast.
