1969 Vintage, Steel / Midnight Blue - Special Edition
Great looking watch but let down by glass and the grade of stainless/case feel for the price. Glass looks a bit cheap and hard to see dial through and stainless feel and weight not what I'm used to in a quality watch. Unfortunately, a bit of a disappointment. Glad to contribute to your environmental cause though.
I love the watch - however, not the leather bands. They are way too bulky and did not lay flat on my wrist and were very small. (I don't have large wrists by any means.) I purchased a band from my neighborhood jeweler and it is a totally different watch. I would suggest thinner bands (especially for smaller wrists).
I would recommend this watch.
As an avid watch enthusiast, I recently added the About Vintage 1960 Racing Chronograph, Steel Watch to my collection, and once again, About Vintage has managed to surpass my expectations. This particular timepiece exudes a captivating sporty elegance that sets it apart from other vintage-inspired chronographs.
The first thing that caught my attention was the impeccable craftsmanship. The stainless steel case exudes durability and a retro charm, perfectly capturing the essence of the 1960s racing era. The watch feels solid on the wrist, striking the right balance between robustness and comfortable wear.
One aspect that truly stands out is the leather strap. The high-quality leather not only adds a touch of sophistication but also ensures a comfortable fit even during extended wear. It molds to the contours of my wrist effortlessly, enhancing the overall wearing experience. Whether I'm engaged in an active pursuit or simply going about my daily routine, the strap remains comfortable throughout the day.
The "panda style" dial of the About Vintage 1960 Racing Chronograph further enhances its appeal. The contrasting black sub-dials against the pristine white background exude a timeless elegance. The legible Arabic numerals and vintage-style hands perfectly capture the racing heritage, adding a dash of nostalgia to the timepiece.
Having owned two other About Vintage watches, I can confidently say that their commitment to quality and attention to detail shines through in this model as well. The reliable Japanese quartz movement ensures precise timekeeping, while the sapphire crystal offers exceptional scratch resistance, preserving the pristine appearance of the watch for years to come.
In conclusion, the About Vintage 1960 Racing Chronograph, Steel Watch is a true gem in the world of vintage-inspired timepieces. Its sporty aesthetic, comfortable leather strap, and eye-catching panda style dial make it a standout choice for both watch enthusiasts and those seeking a classic timepiece with a contemporary twist. About Vintage has once again exceeded my expectations, solidifying their reputation as a brand that consistently delivers exceptional craftsmanship and style.
n French: Excellent , montre de qualité, service client impeccable, seul tout petit bémol, ont oublié de graver le fond de boîtier mais vont faire un geste commercial, Je recommande
Very happy with my purchase. Great watch which has been well made for a very reasonable price. Very stylish and a great range to choose from. Will definitely be looking at other models to purchase in future.
Got this watch as a present for my boyfriend, and he LOVES it! It's perfect.
I bought the 1815 chronograph green sunray. The watch was good looking on the Web but twice as gorgeous in real life. The green beautifully changes color during the day, it looks amazing in sunlight. It feels quite light on the wrist and looks casual but still elegant. I'd give this watch a 5/5. Great price for such a wonderful piece. Would recommend.
Got a little problem with delivery but the support at about vintage was amazing so can't complain at all.
I've been looking for a good looking, quality watch for an eternity.
I've bought watches before in a similar price range and they are flimsy and break so easily.
I've only had my About Vintage for a month or two but the quality appears top-notch - and it's visually stunning.
Best feature is the easily swappable bands. Leather when I'm in my browns and casual, then dress it up with the steel. Amazing.
Bought this as an interim watch but I seriously love it. The attention to detail and design are really superb. I'll be wearing it for a long time to come, hopefully.
I'll be buying another model for sure.
Cheers About Vintage - very nicely done. Keep up the quality and you'll be in business a very long time.
I really like it. Your products are beautiful for a good price. Delivery was fast. I also had contact with you about reparing another watch. This went very smoothly. Now I'm waiting for my 2 1934's. Very exciting!

This is the second About Vintage watch I have purchased if that says anything. This is another great everyday, anywhere watch. A very handsome timepiece at a great price. My friends know I love watches & ask me what I am wearing. Proud to show this one off. Hope it had generated attention & business for them.
Really enjoying the 1960. Details are nice for an inexpensive quartz watch, especially with the rally leather brand. Wish the tachy sweep hand aligned better at rest (it’s off to the right), but overall, really nice reverse panda..glad I found the brand.
I can start by saying I am amazed to see such a beautiful watch, probably the best value for money I've seen in a watch of such quality.
So much attention to detail that has been put into making this watch to make it a piece that should not miss from a man's collection. As well the fact that you can engrave a message on the back of it, it adds to it's sentimental value making it such a unique gift, becoming so much more than just a watch, an amazing moment keeper, it becomes a part of you. By the way the quality of the watch it top, the presentation is amazing as well the extra bracelet is great quality.
Thank you About Vintage Team for the fast delivery and for making such a beautiful watch!
Best wishes!
Constantin
