Detail
INCIPIO is the Japanese brand that pioneered neo-vintage watches in the 1990s, faithfully reproducing iconic timepieces from the past, including Rolex, Tudor, Patek Philippe, and more. Vintage watches that are too rare for everyday use are recreated in a modern context.
Not only a mere reproduction, but these watches also achieve high performance and maintainability by incorporating Swiss-made ETA movements, ensuring their longevity. Swiss ETA movements, commonly found in watches priced over $1000 (such as Omega, Frank Muller, Breitling, etc.), are employed.
The value of these movements, coupled with the fact that they are no longer produced due to the absence of manufacturers, contributes to their continually increasing worth.
This particular watch was manufactured in 2002. Designed with a domed plastic crystal and a mirrored dial, it captures the ambiance of the 1960s-70s era. The inclusion of the hacking function indicates an inspiration from watches of the 1970s. The timepiece features an ETA automatic Swiss movement, chosen for its high performance and suitability for continuous use. The three-link bracelet is engraved with a shell mark, signifying it as an original Incipio piece.
Vintage watches often pose challenges for enthusiasts due to their prohibitive cost and impracticality for everyday wear.ZEROGRAPH addresses this by offering a watch with a vintage aesthetic that can be used continuously—a true neo-vintage timepiece.
Only around 300 units of this watch were produced. There are very few items left that include the original box and warranty card.Its value has risen in recent years and is expected to continue appreciating.
