Description
The Nostalgia Chicago by SÖNER Watches stands as a refined interpretation of the rectangular gold watch, echoing the enduring spirit of Art Deco. Its brushed gold-plated case, crafted from hardened stainless steel, frames a pristine white dial where gold-plated indices and hands create a harmonious interplay of light and form. The arched, screw-down case back and custom crown reflect a meticulous approach to detail, while the clean lines and geometric proportions evoke a quiet confidence suited to both modern and vintage sensibilities.
The Nostalgia Chicago is a 28 x 40 mm rectangular quartz watch in brushed gold-plated hardened stainless steel, 7 mm thick, with a white dial, a Swiss ETA movement and an 11-year battery.
Precision is at the heart of this classic rectangular watch, powered by a Swiss ETA quartz movement renowned for its reliability and an impressive 11-year battery life. The anti-reflective sapphire glass offers clarity and resilience, ensuring the dial remains legible and unblemished through daily wear. With 5 ATM water resistance, this timepiece is designed to accompany both professional and evening occasions as well as swimming and snorkelling, balancing elegance with robust functionality.
Versatility defines the Nostalgia Chicago, with a choice of 20 mm genuine leather straps in black, brown, green, or tan crocodile embossing, as well as a polished gold steel bracelet. Each strap is easily interchangeable, allowing the watch to adapt seamlessly from office attire to formal gatherings. The rectangular gold watch with croc-embossed leather or steel bracelet becomes a subtle statement for collectors, mature gentlemen, and those drawn to urban or vintage-inspired style.
Every element speaks to SÖNER's philosophy - disrupting convention with a focus on geometric purity, craftsmanship, and lasting value. The 10-year warranty and premium Swiss movement affirm its place as a high-quality rectangular watch for discerning individuals, a piece to be treasured and passed down through generations.
