SG60 Merlion Trench Watch (Limited Edition)

We are honoured to unveil the SG60 Limited Edition of our bestselling 1918 Trench Watch, created to commemorate Singapore’s 60th year of independence on 1965. Drawing from early 20th-century military timepieces, this reimagined classic blends vintage aesthetics with modern engineering in a bold tribute to national pride.

Only 60 individually numbered units (e.g., 01/60) will be produced, each cased and inspected in Singapore, and engraved with SG60 and the Merlion emblem on the caseback. Retailing at US$428, this collector’s timepiece is also backed by free worldwide express shipping and a 2-year international warranty.

A Tribute in Crimson and Steel

At the heart of the SG60 edition lies a crimson red enamel dial – a colour that evokes strength, passion and Singapore’s iconic national palette. At 12 o’clock, the dial proudly bears a Merlion emblem, symbolising Singapore’s heritage and resilience.

Paired with cathedral-style hands, bold white Arabic numerals and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, the watch delivers exceptional legibility and vintage character. The combination of deep red and crisp white is as elegant as it is patriotic, creating a vintage-inspired timepiece that resonates with both collectors and everyday wearers.

Classic heritage meets contemporary precision

Built on the foundation of the iconic Vario 1918 Trench, this edition boasts modern enhancements including:

• Enamel dial and 2mm double-domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating

• Marine-grade 316L stainless steel case with thick wired lugs for strap security

• 100m water resistance and screw-down crown

• C3 lume for optimal visibility

• Adjusted Miyota 82S5 automatic movement with hacking seconds and hand-winding

• Côtes de Genève finishing on the movement for added refinement

• More than 40 hours power reserve

Limited to only 60 individually numbered Pieces – Featuring the Merlion emblem and crimson red enamel dial. Available in 37mm case size, the SG60 edition is completed with a black crazy horse leather bund strap, delivering military authenticity and all-day comfort.

Launching on 1 July 9pm Singapore time. Delivery will start on 7 July 2025.

A Collector’s Must-Have

Every piece is inspected and assembled in Singapore, underscoring Vario’s dedication to quality, detail and storytelling. If you—or someone close to you—was born in 1965, this watch becomes even more personal. It’s not just a vintage timepiece; it symbolize your life's journey alongside the nation's.

A standard, non-limited version of this watch available in 37 and 40mm will also be available later, without the commemorative caseback engraving, embossed merlion and individual numbering.
