Straton Speciale

Post by tikkathree »

The slow build-up is over, the kickstarter campaign is now shooting through the ceiling for the Straon Speciale, the latest retro sports watch offering from Kyle Schutt.
I think a square cushion case is both a brave step and a stand-out design; and it comes in both quartz and my favourite 7750 movement so, yes, I'm in!

That’s very much a watch of the seventies, the styles that abounded when I was growing up. I like it. Will I order one? Not sure...

My likings are too well known. :)

That does look damned good though I must admit!

Seriously considering one of these as my first Kickstarter watch - it's right up my street with the very vintage vibes. Trouble is which one? The blue looks gorgeous but the green......and the black, well. Don't like the poo brown though! My head and wallet says quartz but my heart says wobbler :D . Need to decide fairly soon.

There's some seriously hi-res photos linked from the Kickstarter page.
