WMT X LABEG 'Paul Newman' Daytona Homage

"Microbrands", "independents" — however you want to label them, these small companies have never been more prominent in the horological sphere. 

There are a handful of fantastic timepieces from these often one-man brands that offer thoughtful design and functionality, incredible value, and a personal touch unmatched by larger firms. One brand that has literally listed to their customers wants and needs is Watch Experimental Unit, or WMT.

WMT has taken direct inspiration from the classic mid-century sport watch design and their own creative liberties by adding a heavy-hand of patina and character that speak to the vintage watch lover in us all — without losing your shirt either.

This particular WMT is a collaborative piece made with Canadian artist, LABEG. In true WMT form, this piece uses the iconic Ref. 6239 'Paul Daytona' silhouette as a canvas for LABEG to display his cartoon-style signature.

Housed in a 32mm stainless steel case with a domed acrylic crystal, 'barrel' chronograph pushers, signed screw-down crown, 'holey' lugs and a steel bezel with a tachymeter display, this piece features a rather-fun dial with LABEG's trademark aesthetic. The panda dial features a triple register display and a matching handset in which there are no perfect straight lines and circles; instead, every piece of dial furniture has its own rough shape. It's almost perfect in its imperfection.

Outfitted with an Oyster-style stainless steel bracelet with a signed locking clasp, this piece is powered by a handy quartz movement making it an easy decision to grab-and-go as needed.
