New Vario manual in the watchbox!

Just got a new Vario delivered - a Black Mother of Pearl Empire. This was a ‘just because’ watch. I was first introduced to the Vario brand when won a Vario 1918 in a charity auction last year run by @HotWatchChick69 (thanks again Brian). I impressed by the look and quality, it’s earned a place in my wear rotation. Here’s a good review from @thatwatchbloke https://www.watchcrunch.com/thatwatchbloke/posts/vario-1918-2-24249

And my watch:

This Christmas, my wife and I got red and green Vario Versas, again great quality finishes and good looking cases:

So, when the Vario Empires appeared on the WC site, I got interested, but it was @JaeBust posting a similar watch on WRUW that really got me looking. So, got the watch. Beautiful Mother of Pearl and Guilloche dial. Non hacking manual Miyota 6T33 movement with a very smooth wind. Open case back. Soft Italian leather quick change bands and a very supple nylon make this strap monster right out of the box. Overall a beautiful modern take on an Art Deco design. As always, great service, quick delivery and good pictures from Ivan and Judy, they’re the best.

Love how the Varios look! A shame I haven’t got one yet - I’m waiting till they re-release the other colours in the Empire collection!

·

They look great and are on my wishlist. It's a very long list mind.

So Vario!

Vario has some killer watches! Great choice!

Nice! I love Vario’s straps. I have some canvas and single pass natos and they’re all great. I got a Christmas card from them one year. 😉

Love what Ivan and Judy are doing at Vario!

Wow, what a great collection! I agree, they do a great job. I haven’t gotten a chronograph from them yet, but it’s on the list. Yours are beautiful.

Thanks for the kind words!

Bravo for posting this thread. Vario is a great microbrand that really cares about the collectors.

I have their accessories more than the watches 😂

Congrats, the VARIO trench watches have been on my watch list.

Congratulations on the addition.

I really like the 1918, but i'm waiting for the Pilot to come out later this year.

I think it’s a good idea, I’m thinking the Pilot will be good addition.
