His First Real Watch

A packed backpack. A place at the table. A little more independence every day. The next chapter rarely begins all at once. It begins in moments like these.
His first real watch recognizes the person already there and gives him something made for the years ahead.
The Discovery 38 pairs a balanced 38mm size with the materials and everyday capability expected from a serious watch. Choose the original Classic, or the same watch in Frost or Gold.
A 38mm case feels substantial without becoming bulky. It is an approachable size for a first serious watch and a classic proportion he can continue wearing.

School mornings. Weekends outside. The occasions that ask him to stand a little taller. The Discovery 38 should feel at home in all of them.
Add a few words he can carry with him. A simple message from Mom and Dad can turn his first real watch into something unmistakably his.

I ordered this watch for my husband for Father's Day, but when I received it, I loved it so much that I gave it to him early. He loves it too! It's a very cool design from a company with such a unique story. I'm certain I'll buy another watch someday.

Yes. The Discovery 38 is water resistant to 100 meters, with Viton seals and case gaskets and a screw-down crown. Keep the crown screwed down and it is fine for rain, hand washing, and swimming.
Every Discovery carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, and Call Sign replaces the battery for life. The Swiss quartz movement runs about 45 months per battery; when it is time, send it in and we replace the cell and reseal the case so the water resistance holds.
Each Discovery 38 ships on a riveted leather strap with an embossed logo and an engraved buckle: brown on the Classic and the Frost, brown or black on the Gold.
