Smiths Astral
£250.00
Description
If you want a vintage piece with genuine heritage and a design that seriously pops, this ladies Smiths Astral is an absolute standout. Smiths holds a legendary place in watchmaking history—they were the premier British watch manufacturer, famously providing the timepieces that made it to the top of Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953.
This particular ladies' model, is housed in a beautifully styled, all-stainless steel round case. The immediately striking and unique feature is the unusually wide, thick, and highly polished bezel. Unlike the slim bezels typical of the era, this design choice brings a massive amount of bold, geometric character to the wrist, creating a strong visual statement that perfectly balances its vintage charm with a surprisingly modern edge.
The dial, a subtle charcoal grey colour, is framed beautifully by this bezel. It features minimal hour markers, elegant hands, and a practical date function at the 3 o'clock position. The overall cleanliness of the dial allows the unique and powerful shape of the polished steel case and bezel to be the absolute hero of the design.
Inside, this watch is powered by a high-grade, Swiss-made manual-wind mechanical movement. Winding a vintage mechanical watch like this every morning is a fantastic, connected ritual, and it features that lovely, classic sweeping second hand.
