Artefkt introduces the Versa XC, a bold new chapter in luxury watchmaking that combines striking design with impeccable functionality. Funding on Kickstarter from $1150, the Versa XC is a tribute to innovation and craftsmanship, establishing itself as a truly unique distinction in timekeeping. Crafted from Grade 5 Titanium, this watch is as much a high-performance machine as it is a statement piece of personal expression. With its rugged materials and eye-catching aesthetic, the Versa XC is ready to take its place on the wrist of those who seek both style and utility.
The Versa XC is built on the Baseline One platform—a contemporary and neo-retro vision that brings together modern engineering and classic design cues. Its standout feature, the Reuleaux octagonal top ring, is accompanied by a polished chamfer that enhances its distinctive silhouette. The sleek black dial, adorned with applied numerals and a fine sunray finish, offers a blend of craftsmanship and industrial design that makes this watch instantly recognizable. The Grade 5 Titanium case is finished with a combination of matte beadblast and polished surfaces, giving it an effortlessly cool, rugged look.
At 36mm in width, with a lug-to-lug distance of 47.5mm and a case thickness of just 10.5mm, the Versa XC strikes an ideal balance of presence and comfort on the wrist. Water-resistant to 20 ATM (200 meters/660 feet), this watch is well-equipped for any adventure, from casual urban explorations to underwater expeditions. The sapphire crystal ensures scratch resistance and optimal clarity, while the screw-down crown guarantees robustness, making the Versa XC as practical as it is stylish.
Powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW200 1B movement, the Versa XC delivers precision and reliability with a frequency of 28,800 A/H and a 38-hour power reserve. Artefkt has equipped this movement with their custom DLC rotor, ensuring a distinct visual identity even on the inside. The fine sunray dial finish and dagger mountain-cut hands, complete with Super-LumiNova Grade A BGW9 blue glow lume, ensure visibility in all lighting conditions, elevating this watch to a new level of practicality and design.
Complementing its case is the Trueflex strap, crafted from vulcanized natural rubber and finished with a Grade 5 Titanium buckle. Artefkt Versa XC is more than a watch; it is a statement of taste, craftsmanship, and bold adventure—an ideal choice for those who appreciate the fusion of heritage and modernity.
