Sheffield Watches

My friend approached me with an exciting proposition to join forces and contribute to the revival of the Sheffield watch company. The story of Sheffield's resurgence is grounded in the legacy of the original Allsport Diver 1, and it remains as compelling as ever. Now, we are unveiling the Allsport Diver 1A, an extraordinary timepiece that pays homage to the past while embracing modern advancements. The "A" signifies its Automatic movement, a nod to the original hand-wound design. The Seiko NH35 23-jewel movement powers this watch, boasting a 40-hour reserve and -20 to +40 seconds accuracy per day.

Retaining the essence of Sheffield's commitment to quality, the 1A features a sapphire crystal, 316L steel case, aluminum bezel, and full Swiss lume for indices and numbers. With a robust 20 ATM water resistance and a heritage-inspired FKM rubber Tropic strap, the 1A fulfills the requirements of a true "Diving" watch. Visually, the update stays true to the original design, from the color of indices and numbers to custom tooled hands and the cyclops date window. A unique touch is the engraved diver on the case back, adding a special aesthetic element.

Emphasizing value and affordability, the pricing philosophy remains consistent. In the spirit of the original 1970s Sheffield watches, we've set the Allsport Diver 1A at $178.00, adjusting for inflation. Despite the modern enhancements, the 2023 Sheffield Allsport 1A exceeds its 70s predecessor in robustness while staying true to its heritage as a genuine "Diver" watch. The narrative of Sheffield continues, now with the exciting chapter of the Allsport Diver 1A, a timepiece that blends history, craftsmanship, and affordability for watch enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
