The Great Lakes are surrounded by stories, from the historical record of the glaciers that once covered Michigan to great sea serpents that could swallow ships whole. The rich history of the Great Lakes region is the inspiration behind Shinola’s Monster Collection, a range of dive watches that all demonstrate the company’s tight, clean design philosophy, each showcasing their own distinct character.
They all take their cues from classic dive watches, with thoughtful twists like the 12 o’clock marker that’s modeled after the flag a boat flies when it has a diver down in the depths. They’re powered by a Swiss-made Sellita movement, a proven automatic movement known for its accuracy and reliability. Finished with an amazing attention to detail, each Monster Automatic is a refined take on the dive watch that still retains the rugged functionality that divers demanded when these watches hit the scene in the early 20th Century.
The Shinloa Monster Automatic is available in Titanium today, at Huckberry for $1,950.00.
