Several months ago, Timeless Luxury Watches of Texas lent us their limited edition Nomos Club to review. It was an amazing piece by one of our favorite brands. But more than that, it was a cool opportunity to get something unique at a relatively reasonable price. Luxury brands are all about boutique editions, coming out with new ones seemingly weekly. But at the price point we discuss on w&w, it’s far rarer. First off all, there aren’t many retailers out there that carry the watches we discuss, but even fewer that would do anything interesting if they had the chance.
So, I was beyond excited when I found out that Timeless was doing another LE with yet another one of our favorite brands, Damasko. One of the great tool watch brands currently in business, Damasko makes tech-driven timepieces that are built to take a beating. We’ve reviewed several before and a few of us own them as well. What struck me as being really cool about this collaboration is that while Nomos might not have the brand recognition of Rolex, Damasko is practically unheard of. So, by making a LE with their watches, Timeless is putting a spotlight on a brand that we too think should more widely known.
For the collaboration, Timeless made not one, but four models with the same core aesthetic concept, each limited to 50 units. They are the DB 1, 2, 3 and, yup, 4. They utilize two different types of case, each in both steel and Damasko’s Damest black coating. They are all powered by modified ETA 2836-2s, feature a slew of Damasko’s case tech, and come in at a range from $1,300 to $1,595.
