Have you guys heard of the Oberlin Watch Co. by chance?

They get their name from the town of Oberlin Ohio.
With their first watch the Obie having details like a
40mm stainless steel case, 100m WR, a K1 crystal,
white, and the upcoming black dial version, all with
colorful hands, numbers, and markers.

In addition, you have leather straps, plus the Citizen
2035 quartz movement behind everything.

Some pics for you...

It's cute. Women's or kids' watch?

The black/yellow/red version kind of hurts my eyes.

:grin: Either, or Eric, or even mens. :)

You know what it is sir?! Is so many times we see the more pricey watches.
So when I saw the news on these, I thought it would be fun to post about.
They honestly kind of have an almost old time Swatch feel to them I had
thought, and were just fun. Plus I thought the Obie1 was neat with it kind
of having a Star Wars reference there. :oops:

Want to thank you just for looking sir, and of course you sharing your thoughts !!! :thumbsup:

Different that's for sure....... I live near Oberlin and bike there often. the campus is small but pricey. liberal arts school.

Definitely a fun watch, not sure they look right on an adult. Lego comes to mind. Unusual that's for sure. Even the black and white one doesn't look very grown up for some reason.
