Why You'll Love the 1956 Marine
MODERN VINTAGE DESIGN
IN DEPTH WITH 1956 MARINE
Inspired by classic designs from the '50s and '60s, but updated with cutting-edge materials. The 1956 Marine is a masterful blend of vintage allure and modern innovation. Our design features a wave-dial with round hour markers and signature cut-outs at 12H and 6H. Super-LumiNova enhances visibility, while the domed sapphire crystal not only adds a contemporary touch but also ensures durability. The slim, almost straight lug profile rounds out the aesthetic, making this watch a perfect fit for the modern adventurer who appreciates a nod to the past.
A TOUCH OF VINTAGE CRUNCH
AN ACRYLIC BEZEL THAT POPS
For the first time ever, we've incorporated an acrylic bezel into our design. Truly a nod to the vintage references that goes into this watch, the acrylic bezel really makes this watch ‘pop’ in a somewhat contemporary manner.
Experience the perfect blend of ruggedness and elegance with the 1956 Marine.

TIMELESS DESIGN. BUILT TO LAST.
We’re committed to craft vintage-inspired watches with a timeless design, and because we only use the best materials and movements available, they’re built to last a lifetime.
Designed in Copenhagen and delivered to the world.
STEEL & GOLD
We use 316L surgical-grade stainless steel from Finland, which is commonly used for fine watches and jewelry worldwide. Additionally, our models with gold plating are, of course, made with genuine ISO-certified gold plating, ensuring that the precious metals can withstand the test of time.
SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
We only use highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on all our models, combined with an anti-reflective coating for better visibility. Our products are made with Japanese precision. It may be expensive, but it is the key to lifelong quality.
MOVEMENTS (CALIBER)
We carefully select Swiss and Japanese-made quality movements, as they are simply the best in the world. We choose specific calibers from Miyota, Sellita, and TMI that have been real-world tested and proven to be 'workhorses' for optimal durability.
A-GRADE FACTORIES
We use A-grade factories and suppliers for all components, making a difference in all the small but important details. Everything, from the feel of the round steel edges to the quality feel and weight of the bracelets, dial details, quality control, and certified work environment ethic.

Been admiring this watch for a while for its elegant design. Love the dark hands on the textured dial …something I always find appealing. The specs on this watch are excellent and I’m alway happy to select a VH31 movement for the grab and go nature (especially when I don’t have to contend with a date to reset monthly). Also love the sweeping seconds at 4x a second (unlike the typical quartz that’s 1x second) of the VH31 that mimics an automatic. The finish of this watch and the overall specs of stainless steel case and sapphire crystal….with the retro inspired acrylic bezel finish….make for one stunning watch. I have collected well over 60 automatic and classic watches and this is one of my favorites. Great job, About Vintage.
