The Vario 1918 Medic Brass Cream Dial with Orange Lume is a 40 mm brass watch, 10 mm thick, water resistant to 100 m, with a cream enamel dial and orange lume, on a crazy horse leather strap, bund or single-pass. It runs on the Seiko NH38A automatic, adjusted, hacking, more than 40 hours reserve. Brass darkens as it oxidises, so the case takes on a patina with wear, while the caseback against the wrist is steel.

Collector photographs

Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.

No collector photographs yet

If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
