Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Scovill collection takes its name from one of the American manufacturing dynasties that shaped Ingersoll's early identity, and this piece wears that heritage through a skeleton dial that pulls the movement into plain view rather than hiding it beneath a conventional face. The mechanics on display belong to Miyota's 821A, a Japanese automatic that earns its keep through durability and ease of servicing — not a movement for showcasing its own decoration, but reliable enough that the skeleton treatment is an honest window rather than a distraction. At 43mm across and 14.6mm deep, this sits high on the wrist and makes no attempt at restraint, with a unidirectional rotating bezel adding a functional edge to what is already a substantial case. The brown Horween calf leather strap is the quieter detail worth noting: it ages well and is secured by a folding deployment clasp that spreads the load and reduces the crease damage a pin buckle would cause over time. The screw-down exhibition caseback continues the open-movement logic from the other side, and at 110 grams the watch has enough weight to feel deliberate without becoming tiresome through the day.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
What 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.
