A Watch Like Fine Wine: Hands-On with the Vario Futurist
Vario's new Futurist watch pays homage to the 1970s space race while maintaining the brand's signature elegance. With a 39mm case and a comfortable design, it features a unique crown position at twelve o'clock and a flat caseback. The Italian leather strap adds to its appeal, providing immediate comfort without the need for break-in. The watch showcases a striking sunburst wine-red dial protected by a facet-cut sapphire crystal, which enhances its aesthetic while ensuring readability. The intricate details of the hour markers and hands, along with the high-quality case grooves, reflect Vario's craftsmanship. This timepiece is equipped with a Miyota caliber 9039 movement, offering a power reserve of over 40 hours and a water resistance of 100 meters. Available in four limited colors, including red, green, and blue, the Futurist is priced at $648 regardless of the dial color. The engraved caseback features an astronaut motif, aligning with the watch's space-inspired theme, making it a distinctive addition to Vario's lineup that appeals to both watch enthusiasts and casual wearers alike.
