From the intricately detailed 1939 Chronograph to the 1970 compressor-inspired Diver, Dan Henry watches have gained quite the following with watch-heads. By pulling cues from vintage watches?some iconic and others obscure?Dan Henry has made vintage styling available at an exceedingly affordable price.

The stainless steel case measures 38 millimeters wide, 12.8 millimeters thick, and 44.6 millimeters lug-to-lug. The lug width is 19 millimeters. The case is largely polished but for the mid-case along the sides and the embossed, screw-in case back. Large pump pushers sit on the right side of the case and flank a moderately-sized and signed crown. A prominent double-domed mineral crystal sits proudly on top of the case. The crystal is sapphire-coated for added durability, and it features AR treatment to reduce glare.
