Mid Century Atomic Watches?

Just finished the Fallout series and its great. Are there any watches still being made that will give me the “mid-century”/atomic style of the 50/60s?

Hamilton has some.

lorier maybe?

·

Timex Marlin?

Ha! Some of my good old watch friends were just talking about this…

The Hamilton Ventura comes to mind for it's atomic/jet age aesthetics

·

Lorier Astra? They list some of the references that inspired this model from around that time period.

Need to watch, this love the games

Nivada Grenchen offers a lot of vintage designs harking back to the 1950s and 1960s. The Nivada Grenchen Spider is a superb 1950s dress watch design and the new Antartic is a 1950s field watch

Additionally, Archimede's 1950s range would fit the bill. Four variants are offered and each with a unique look from the period.

50s/60s Scifi Style ... maybe some Farer Models?

I mean, it is the logical pick.

Given the show went with a mid century vibe, there are two modern picks, after the actual video game watch @Ichibunz posted:

I hope they are all old enough 🫣... Show can be a bit rough eh?!

What do you guys think, is the show good enough to subscribe for Prime only to watch it ? Not much other stuff on Prime that interests me, but I have to say I appreciate a good Scifi apocalypse show with that 50s/60s aesthetics 😄.

😀 Yes...youngest is almost done with HS

A little different than the standard "watch" but definitely in theme. Google "Dixie tube" watch and you'll see a lot of variations of this style.

Came here to say this. You beat me to it. These are perfect.

The Mido TV Big Date does a pretty good job too. Maybe not the test screen version but one the other variations.

I'd say subscribe and then binge watch other shows that may be of interest. I feel like streaming is getting out of hand to the point where we've just circled back to basically having cable again since every platform has some "must see" show.

A Vostok Komandierskie would fit the bill for the opposing side. Or maybe one of those Chinese military style "Seagulls" or whatever they're called.

Glycine Airman DC-4. Perfect '50s/60s vibes, especially on a beads of rice bracelet.
