The Vostra Vector chronograph has been debuted by the brand as part of a Kickstarter campaign that puts an accessible yet elegant accessory in the spotlight for avid or amateur timepiece fans alike to consider. The watch is constructed with a 40mm brushed 316L stainless steel for rigidity, which keeps the VK63 mecha-quartz chronograph movement inside to ensure dependability but also keep costs low. The watch comes in three options each with a differently colored dial including blue, yellow and gray, which are each further accented by hands in contrasting colors for greater fashion intrigue.
The Vostra Vector chronograph is slated to be priced at $279 when made widely available, but is being offered at early bird prices down to $199 to maximize affordability.
