From the brand: What makes the Lancaster 086 unique:
The Lancaster 086 carries a dial that speaks to time itself—aged to perfection, its warm patina tells the story of decades past. The bold, black numerals remain legible against the softened background, while the distinctive secometer display at 6 o’clock provides a unique way to track seconds, replacing the traditional sub-seconds dial with a window-style readout. Paired with spade & whip hands in a darkened finish, this timepiece embraces its vintage character while remaining effortlessly functional.
Inside, this watch houses a Hamilton 912 movement, a piece of American engineering from 1935 with 17 jewels ensuring smooth and reliable performance. The 912 was a staple of Hamilton’s high-quality pocket watches, built to withstand daily wear while maintaining precise timekeeping. In the same year this movement was produced, the world saw the introduction of the DC-3, the aircraft that would revolutionize commercial aviation with its reliability—just as Hamilton was revolutionizing pocket watch accuracy.
Encasing this historic movement is a brushed titanium case, offering both strength and lightweight comfort, paired with an angled machined steel bezel that provides subtle contrast. A knurled, machined steel crown adds a touch of rugged elegance, while the rye-colored leather strap ties together the warmth of the dial’s patina with the resilience of its new form. The Lancaster 086 is a masterful blend of history and modern craftsmanship, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
