A rich, intoxicating red inspired by the Spanish city on the Mediterranean Sea that has been producing famous sweet wines since the eighth century BCE. The boisterous numerals are derived from one of the best typefaces ever used in an automobile, that in the 1940 Ford Standard Coupe. A rare and cheeky font with such energy that it begged to be revived.
You might wonder why a watch designed in California is named for a fortified Andalusian wine and that's because the Fieldtimer is a secret car watch, paying homage to mid-century automotive style with subtle cues. The source of the color may have been Spain but it also inspired the designers of a little German car which happened to be painted in some of the coolest hues ever conceived. The BMW 02 Series was described by Car and Driver as "one of modern civilization's all-time best ways to get somewhere sitting down" and Málaga Red was one of the most beautiful shades. The seconds hand with spun silver center cap is likewise inspired by the gauges on the early 1960's models and the leather wrap is a genuine calfskin reimagination of the original vinyl tool roll.
The ultra-thick enamelled lacquer is made by Berlac, the same century-old Swiss firm responsible for badges and sustainable coating solutions braving the elements on BMWs, Porsches and dozens of other manufacturers. It is stoving enamel; an oven baked lacquer similar to those used on automobiles before the advent of clearcoat. It may be a car watch from a city known for its car culture, yet no one ever need know...except those who know.
Three straps are included with every watch: water-resistant Cordura nylon with orange lining, soft Italian full grain leather with orange cross stitching, and a vintage Bonklip-style steel bracelet with a utilitarian elegance and lightness perfectly matched to the slim watch case. The stainless steel pin buckle was custom designed and micro metal injection molded (MIM) from 316L stainless steel, the same additive process used for precise miniature machine parts, reducing material waste when compared to CNC.
The steel Bonklip bracelet is available in two lengths, Standard and Long, to fit over different sized hands since it is attached to the watch in a closed loop.
