Swiss Heart, California Soul

Made in Switzerland and designed in Los Angeles, Camp watches embody the inimitable culture and colors of Southern California but instead of dreams, they run on the precision of customized Sellita SW210 mechanical movements.

With the deepest possible lacquer enamel dials and unique mid-century inspired typography, it's a festival of color and style. The 316L stainless steel case is built to the eminently wearable proportions of 39mm and 10mm thickness to comfortably fit all wrist sizes. Three different straps are supplied with each watch: buttery full-grain Italian leather, water-resistant Cordura nylon, and a steel Bonklip-style bracelet, all wrapped in a custom leather watch roll.

The Dial

The dials are the deepest, most lustrous polished lacquer physically possible. Fifteen layers of stove-enamelled Berlac Swiss lacquer, hand-rubbed and oven-cured, for a total thickness of 1.3mm. The slim case and crystal, at 10mm, could have been even slimmer were it not for that excessively, luxuriously thick dial. Floating above the sea of color is a joyous celebration of unique typography, each dial telling its own story.

The Case

Enveloping the dial is what looks at first like a conventional field watch case but that too reveals surprises upon second read. A deceptively simple curve creates the illusion of a floating midcase while concealing the exposed lug holes from above and making for a more comfortable fit as you bend your wrist. Water resistance is 100 meters with a triple gasket crown. A boxed double dome sapphire crystal is held by a thin, polished step bezel.

The Movement

The Fieldtimer is powered by a Swiss hand-wound Sellita SW 210-1 calibre with an accuracy of +/-12 sec/day. It runs at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and has 18 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, and a minimum power reserve of 42 hours. Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback is the train wheel bridge with hidden Camp logo fully customized in-house by Sellita.
