AMERICAN BRANDS
The new watches are the first additions to the U . S . -based watch company ’ s collection in 2022 . The collection is Waldan ’ s signature sporty series , constructed with double-stepped 40mm by 8.6mm 316L stainless steel case with a domed , anti-glare sapphire crystal and fifty meters of water resistance . ( Readers might recall our review of one Waldan watch earlier last year , as well as our look into the company ’ s history in 2020 .)
Waldan ’ s new Heritage Sportline models feature eye-catching dials executed in Olive Khaki , Royal Blue and Champagne . The oil-pressed , linear style dials feature SuperLuminova above their baton-styled applied markers and show the time with matching baton hands with luminous tips . A sunken sub-seconds register can be found at the 6 o ’ clock position .
Waldan ’ s interchangeable straps are made in Italy . While the straps attached to these new models are matched to the dial , Waldan presents the wearer with the option of purchasing additional straps to mix and match as desired . The extra straps are $ 30 and available from the Waldan website .
Waldan continues to power each watch in this series with an allmetal American-made Ameriquartz Caliber 70200 movement . Fine Timepiece Solutions , the Arizona-based manufacturer of the Ameriquartz movements , guarantees that its all-metal calibers are defect-free for a full five years . Price : $ 299 .
