SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - The Atlantic Automatic Casual Sport Watch

Kingsbury Watch Co out of Toronto, have returned to Kickstarter with their ninth campaign.
Their previous eight have all funded successfully.


Kickstarter price for steel case is around $190

Kickstarter price for rose gold case is around $198 SOLD OUT

No word on regular pricing.

Estimated delivery is July 2021

The Atlantic is Kingsbury's take on the casual sport watch. Though not 100% sure how roman numerals = casual.
Has that Genta-vibe that seems ever popular of late, but at least they're using hooded lugs opposed to an integrated bracelet.

Available in either a steel case or a rose gold case limited to 10 pieces (and currently SOLD OUT!).

Not a fan of this case shape or roman numerals in general, but personal taste aside this is well done. The dial is cool, if a bit Zelos-y. I also like the little touch of the gold K even on the stainless model. I do think a color matched date wheel would have looked really clean.

Agree with [mention]Boourns[/mention]. Kingsbury makes quality watches, but I personally do not find this design appealing.

Same, but that dial is great - reminds me of Zelos and the recent Zodiac Farallon. Would love to see it on a diver.

I'm actually digging the design - I love Kingsbury, I have a few and never have been disappointed with one of their watches.

Reminds me of a Choppard with better date placement and a less gaudy case. Also love the fact that it's a non-integrated bracelet. Might have to jump in on this one.
