1960 Racing Chronograph Mens Watch, Stainless Steel

One of my favorite watches!

Seems to be well made. A bargin at the current pricing.

Great looking watch with chronograph capabilities. It appears to be well made, and the stainless case is nice and heavy. The 40mm case is slightly smaller than some more modern looking watches, so it is staying true to the Vintage name and will fit smaller wrists very well. It has is a Japanese quartz movement, so I expect it to perform well for a long time.

I purchased this watch with the expectation that the watch I get is exactly as presented/displayed on the website. I was very disappointed to see the watch came with a different brown color watch strap, not as displayed on the portal. Expect a watch appearance different from what you see on the website. I reached out to the seller about the leather strap color concern. The option they offer will cost more money... The watch crystal is not sapphire it will make the dial edges blurry as you change the watch angle, expect lots of light reflection. I believe this watch is overpriced for its out-of-the-box appearance. There are much better options out there for this price. I would not recommend this watch to my friends and family.

Not a popular brand but this watch is absolutely stunning. The overall quality is very good. Affordable as a sport/luxury watch.

This is a statement piece, especially for those who love a vintage classic European look, That brings back memories of Le Mans and James Dean back in the 1960’s. Just received this for my birthday from my wife. Time will tell when it comes to durability and performance but the chronograph and time keeping works in a very tight smooth fashion so far. The smoothness in the operation speaks of a higher quality given the price range.

I had never heard of this watch manufacturer About Vintage until this watch caught my eye. I was initially impressed with the 1960 racing chronograph look, and that it seemed to be a simple, minimalistic yet dapper analog style watch. No date or day of the week displayed...just the time and of course using it as a stop watch. The face depicts an old time style. It is not a smart watch. As I understand it 1960 was the first real golden age of car racing.I did a little research about the maker About Vintage and it turns out the business began in Denmark in 2013 by Skov Anderson who also designs the watches. Their objective is to craft elegant, understated yet spectacular watches for today's contemporary man. This is one of Denmark's leading watchmakers and Scandinavian manufacturers in general have established themselves as one of today's premium watchmakers.This watch is encapsulated in a 40mm sports chronograph complete with a tachymeter, scratch resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a 316L surgical steel case. The leather band with all the open holes is also a nice touch. For those of you who don't know, including myself, a tachymeter calculates your average speed based on how many seconds it takes a vehicle to travel a fixed distance, say in 1km or the like. I went to the About Vintage website and found out this is how it works:1) Start the chronograph by pushing the upper button.2) After the vehicle has traveled whatever distance you want, stop the chronograph with the same button.3) Observe the position of the second hand and read the outer bezel. If stopped at 80 it took 45 seconds to travel 1km, which comes down to an average speed of 80 kph.4) Reset by pushing the lower button.This information was in kilometers, so you might have to use a unit conversion app to translate it into miles and miles per hour. Go to the About Vintage website for this watch to find out more uses for a chronograph.Overall I'm giving the watch 5 stars BUT I do have a bone to pick with the manufacturer. The watch came in a fancy box but with no instructions or any other paperwork. Basically all I had to do was set the time on the watch, but for the life of me I could not pull out the watch stem to do so. My wife and I both tried and I didn't want to break the stem so I took it to a watch repair store for help. Turns out the stem is locked shut to prevent water from seeping in because it is waterproof to 330 feet. To unlock it you must push in a little, then turn the stem counterclockwise or in toward your body. After a few turns it unlocks and then you're able to pull out the stem and set the time. Follow the sames instructions only turn the stem clockwise to lock the stem again. If About Vintage had just put a brief instruction booklet in the box I wouldn't have had to deal with this matter. So shame on you for assuming that everyone would know that.In the end I'm happy with this watch.

This watch radiates class and style. It's a contender with some of the best and you know it the moment you put it on. One thing I would say is that you may consider swapping the band. It's a very thick leather strap and can be difficult to "lace up" so to speak.
