Wittnauer Men's Stratford Watch, Model - 10D08

Making its mark as the timepiece of choice when performance was crucial, Wittnauer rapidly became a favorite of navigators, astronomers, geographers and explorers, accompanying polar aviator Commander Richard E. Byrd to both the Arctic and Antarctica. By the early years of the 20th century, Wittnauer chronometers, prized for extreme accuracy, had become essential equipment at observatories and military installations throughout the country. And, in 1918, the Wittnauer All-Proof debuted as the world's first waterproof, shock-proof and anti-magnetic watch, testing its mettle through the years by being dropped from airplanes, thrown from the Empire State Building and subjected to the rigors of both the Amazon and the Himalayas. Today's extraordinary Wittnauer designs draw from this classic tradition. With a matchless blend of luxurious styling and superb craftsmanship, Wittnauer brings watchmaking excellence into the night with America's most exquisite special occasion watches. Continuing to offer the finest Swiss craftsmanship to the most discerning U.S. consumers, and still headquartered in New York, Wittnauer presents elegance and precision with an unmistakably American accent. Designed from the start to apply exquisite Swiss craftsmanship to the challenges and demands of American life, Wittnauer has, for almost 125 years, been America's own Swiss watch.
