This exceptional collection draws inspiration from the spirit of vintage watches and the craft of watchmaking, offering watch enthusiasts a truly unique timepiece that encapsulates the best of both worlds without breaking the bank. The inspiration and concept is taken from the lifeblood and biggest enemy of the Netherlands; The Sea. The dial of each watch features a mesmerizing 3D pattern, reminiscent of fish scales, intricately etched onto the surface. This guilloche-inspired texture adds depth and character, setting it apart from traditional dress watches. The numerals and hands adopt a minimalist approach, exuding sophistication while embracing sporty appeal. The use of white for these elements creates a striking contrast against the dial’s textured background, adding a dynamic edge to the overall design.
Batavi’s name comes from the historical story of a small village people who revolted against their mighty oppressors, while knowing they would not survive the battle. They were called Batavi.
