Stepping up in Aston Martin's range
The DWF Chronograph is an officially licensed piece built around the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team, and the design makes no attempt to be anything other than that. The pushers are coloured red, yellow and green in direct reference to the F1 starting lights, the sub-dial counters are squared rather than round in the manner of motorsport instrumentation, and the matte Podium Green dial carries the team logo with lime accents that read clearly against the carbon case. At 43mm in carbon-reinforced resin, it wears lighter than its proportions suggest, and the green NATO strap with its contrast centre stripe keeps the whole thing close to the wrist without bulk. The Miyota movement inside is a Japanese-made chronograph calibre — reliable, well-supported, and entirely in keeping with a watch that is meant to be used rather than preserved.

Learn more about Aston Martin
Aston Martin has built cars since 1913, when Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford set up in London, and the name has carried a particular kind of British grand touring ever since.
The watches are a licence rather than a workshop. Aston Martin does not make movements or cases; it signed a long-term agreement with Timex Group in 2025, with the first watch and jewellery collections arriving that autumn. Timex holds similar licences for several names sold well above its own price point.
What you are buying is the design language rather than the engineering: chronograph layouts, tachymeter bezels and colours lifted from racing liveries, on quartz movements at a price a long way below the cars. Judged as accessible motorsport-styled watches they do that job well; judged as watchmaking they are a licensed accessory, and worth knowing as such.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
Both F.Hinds and Goldsmiths list it at £219, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £164 and £219, today it's £219.
