Named after the warship used to retrieve the Golden Fleece in Greek Mythology, the Vincero Argo is a watch meant to prove that you don’t have to decide between style or functionality when it comes to what’s on your wrist. Though this fresh take on the classic dive watch silhouette might look like a timepiece you would pair with a suit or wear to a formal occasion, the Argo is built tough to give you the rugged functionality that an EDC watch demands.
The Argo presents itself with a medium-sized 41mm diameter case made from 316L surgical stainless steel. Its 20mm bracelet is made out of the same material and closes via a secure push button clasp; though if you prefer, you can opt for an additional silicone band. The face features white circles and indices acting as the hour markers, each surrounded by an accenting metal outline.
You’ll also find a smaller 24 hour dial on the outer rim of the face, for those used to military time. And if you find yourself in low-light conditions, both hands of the Argo along with its indices have been coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova paint, offering an excellent bright blue glow in the dark.
The Argo doesn’t just look the part of a dive watch—it’s fully equipped with the features you’d depend on deep under the surface. For example, you’ll have access to a unidirectional rotating bezel, helping you measure time elapsed while diving. The face itself is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, coupled with a transparent sapphire caseback, meant to showcase the beautiful machinery inside. This, combined with a screw-down crown at the 3 o’clock position makes the Argo water-resistant down to 200 meters.
All of this is powered by a reliable automatic Citizen Miyota Series 9015 movement. Like most mechanical watches this allows the watch to wind its mainspring via the regular movements of your arm and wrist, so with regular use you won’t have to ever worry about replacing a battery. And for whenever you’re not wearing the watch, a 40-hour reserve means you’ll have a near-weekend’s worth of power, ready to wear again to start off the week.
You don’t have to decide between form or function with the the Argo, thanks to providing both in a single, modern package. Pick one up in one of its five different colorways at the link below.
