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!

Re: Straton Speciale
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...

And other colours too. And black, polished and brushed cases. And in quartz....Camberwell wrote:But they have a green versiongaf1958 wrote: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...

Re: Straton Speciale
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 . Need to decide fairly soon.
There's some seriously hi-res photos linked from the Kickstarter page.
