VINTAGE RALLY TIMER

From True North Watch Co.: With painstaking attention to detail, we are very proud to introduce the True North Watch Co. Vintage Rally Timer chronograph. A classic timepiece inspired by the iconic valjoux chronos of the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

THE STORY
We were inspired to create the VRT chronograph from our lifelong passion for vintage Daytonas. Our goal was to create a timepiece that had the soul and design language of these timeless icons. The VRT is powered by a rugged meca-quartz mechanism, resulting in a watch that combines the accuracy of quartz with the crisp feel and performance of a mechanical chronograph.

THE DESIGN
The creation of the VRT was a 5 year process in which we forensically studied the iconic vintage Valjoux racing chronographs in an effort to create durable, reliable timepieces that share both the correct lines and dimensions of their timeless predecessors.

THE TROPICAL RUST PATINA PROJECT
With the "Patina" project our goal was to add 30 years of age to your VRT. In order to create this tropical rust, we developed an oxidized patina method that allowed us to control the aging, resulting in the perfect recreation of a time earned patina dial with warm yellow lume added as a finishing touch.
