SANDBURG 42mm Carbon 2 Tone Steel
The Sandburg takes its name from Carl Sandburg, who gave the city its most famous poem. It's a dress watch with a diver's hardware: a screw-down crown, and a one-direction bezel with an aluminum insert that clicks as it turns.
Carbon is the black dial, matte rather than glossy, with the lume plots reading clean against it. In two-tone steel, with gold accents.
Forty-two millimeters and 12mm through the case, on a Swiss Made Ronda quartz movement under a sapphire crystal, rated to 5 ATM. It ships with an integrated steel bracelet and an Italian leather strap lined with rubber, both quick-release, and the caseback is fully engravable.

YOUR WATCH. YOUR STORY.
Every Hampden is built to be engraved. A date, a handwritten note, a drawing your kid made, a portrait of your dog: the caseback holds whatever you decide it should.
If you know what you want, send it over. If you do not, our Design Concierge will work through it with you, draw it up, and show you a proof before anything is engraved. That service is included with every watch.

- JKJulian K.ReviewingSANDBURG 42mm Lake All SteelI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars13 minutes agoGreat watch! Clean look, solid construction, beautiful engraving.
Loving my new SANDBURG. It is a striking and comfortable watch, not too big, that can be dressed down and accessorized or worn with a more elegant outfit. It came in a beautiful case with a card providing its details and assuring its legitimacy as an authentic Hampden. The case back engraving is well detailed and handsome.I wondered if the engraving on the back would be uncomfortable on the back of my wrist, but I don't notice it at all.

- RGRussell G.ReviewingSANDBURG 42mmI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoRight on time
I purchased this Hamden after a lengthy "non-watch" conversation with staff at Windup/SF. Their dismeanor and friendliness made me closer attention to a piece i might have overlooked because I assumed it was out of my budget. Not only was it within budget we worked together to recreate the civil war inscription on their historic pocket watch on the watch. They agreed it was a wonderful idea and took their time to be as accurate as possible. Happy to say the watch and inscription exceeded my expectations and it arrived just in time for me to wear it with honor during our Juneteenth celebration. Thank you Cpt Sweetster and all those who paved a way for me.
