Vario Empire Watch with Salmon Guilloché Tuxedo Dial

[enjoythemusic]

So while 'cheating' on TRF at other places, saw this lovely piece pop up. It's a Vario variation of their Empire timepiece with Seiko NH38A automatic movement and Salmon Tux dial. They've made a bunch of variations, some are visually more attractive than others, but that's just my preference.

VARIO's Empire is an homage to Art Deco, and has a nice guilloché dial and bold reeeeeally nicely-styled font applied lettering. The hands geometry works very well too, so nice to see a bit of 'extra' effort there.

Looks awesome

Thx and it punches well above the pricing for style. Plus it filled two 'holes' in my collection:

Tux dial

Something salmon.

Glad I got the stock Mahogany Brown strap to add to my strap collection, but the typical black dress leather band looks more the part imho.
