The Navigator is the fifth model in the Vintage Grandline Series, a collection celebrated for its handcrafted watches featuring an aged patina and vintage style aesthetic with modern reliable movement. The Navigator incorporates traditional cathedral hands into a Sub diver watch design, complemented by an eye-catching orange bezel. The aged patina on the dial and hands adds to its vintage appeal, giving the watch a warm and timeless character.
As suggested by its name and in keeping with the Grandline collection’s inspiration, this model is a tribute to Nami, the skilled navigator of the Strawhat Pirates. The choice of an orange bezel insert is a fitting nod to Nami, as orange is her signature color. Nami, a central character in the acclaimed manga and anime series One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, is renowned for her expertise in navigation and weather prediction. She is intelligent, resourceful, and plays a crucial role in guiding her crew through their adventures. With her strong, independent nature and deep loyalty to her friends, Nami also uses her weather skills in combat, making her an invaluable member of the team.
