Abercrombie & Fitch Sub-Sea

For those of you who have been around awhile (or are at least well educated on all things “old school”), you know that Abercrombie & Fitch wasn't always the trendy, bare-chested, short shorts-hocking, teeny-bopper fashion brand that it is today.   Once upon a time the company was a true outfitter for the serious outdoorsmen, offering everything from mosquito netting to elephant guns in its stores — serious provisions for your safari into the dark heart of Africa. Vintage timepieces signed by Abercrombie & Fitch aren't all that unusual and often command a fair premium over unsigned versions (think Heuer Carrera & Seafarer models). However, finding an all-original timepiece manufactured for and triple-signed by A&F Co. is an entirely different story. This particular Abercrombie & Fitch Co. timepiece is a Sub-Sea from circa the 1940s — a fantastic everyday watch that will fit beautifully on a variety of wrists. It features a 33mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal, an unsigned crown, and an off-white dial with applied indices, a gorgeous stylized ‘Breguet’ handset, and the unique “Abercrombie & Fitch Co.” signature on the dial. Fitted to one of our Analog:Shift straps, this fantastic piece is the perfect entryway into vintage watchmaking — and vintage Americana, to boot.  Try it on for size!
