Brew, a New York City-based watchmaker that draws design inspiration from industrial espresso machines, has released the Retromatic Copper, an updated version of its simple yet elegant Retromatic.
For its newest version, the timepiece has been upgraded with a copper dial that presents a unique radiating pattern consisting of very fine, organic lines. The dial is enclosed within a 36.5mm cushion-style case, which lends the piece a vintage, 1960s-era feel. In addition, the watch is paired with a sleek, brushed steel bracelet with a quick-release design.
As for power, the watch comes equipped with Seiko's NH35A automatic movement, which delivers an impressive 41-hour power reserve. Priced at $450, the new Retromatic Copper is currently available for purchase on Brew's website.
