About Vintage is a humble Danish watch brand founded by two childhood friends Sebastian Skov and Thomas Andersen from central Copenhagen. Both were driven by a dream, a dream of being creative, independent and creating something from scratch: A new vintage timepiece they each dreamed of. A watch, that unites their passion for design and watches and is the alternative to the overpriced watch in the bank box. Creating a watch, that gives you the full luxury watch experience, but at an affordable price. About Vintage was born. In this review, we take a closer look on the 1926 Automatic Rose Gold / Blue Vintage and the brand new 1926 All Black Automatic
About Vintage – 1926 “All Black” Automatic
With the 1926 All Black Automatic About Vintage has decided to celebrate Black Friday early this year: The beautiful vintage diver design is now introduced in an All Black version; With a black dial and black PVD-coated stainless-steel case, the new All Black Automatic is the ultimate stealthy diver from About Vintage. Coming in a very demanded size of 39mm in diameter, the vintage spirit is perfectly embodied in size and shape. About Vintage also introduces their brand-new strap with this new release: An all black heavy mesh bracelet that fits perfectly to the style of a “more dark” variation of the Automatic collection. Are you ready for “the dark side of the sea”?

About Vintage – 1926 “At’Sea” Automatic – Rose Gold / Blue Vintage
The look and feel of the About Vintage 1926 Automatic Rose Gold / Blue Vintage is absolutely maritime and elegant, with the certain vintage flair that we miss in modern watches these days, but still uses modern automatic movements. The brushed rose gold plated Case and hardware reminds more on an old ship porthole, combined with the matte blue dial and bezel, that combines the spirit of the shipping and the rough and dark blue sea.
When the 1926 collection by About Vintage has evolved to feature a fully automatic mechanism, still inspired by the game changing year of 1926, that altered the future of sea exploration. The 1926 Automatic is a limited collaboration between About Vintage and Jonathan Harboe. The elegant design of the hermetically sealed case, featuring a larger bezel with vintage aesthetics, has been carefully designed by hand – with every detail accounted for.
To support the action taken to preserve our planet’s oceans, About Vintage and Jonathan Harboe have decided to donate a portion of all of the proceeds to The Ocean Cleanup. Owning the 1926 Automatic will not only act as a reminder of the significant evolution in watch manufacturing, but also as an ode to helping in the preservation of our world’s oceans.
