Detroit-based watchmaker Shinola has spent over a decade revitalising American manufacturing by building classic, detail-driven timepieces in the Motor City.
Standing out within their lineup is the Shinola Canfield Model C56 Chronograph Cool Gray, a sleek 2-eye chronograph that blends 1950s architectural cues with modern industrial finishing.
* Case Dimensions: 43.0mm Diameter × 11.25mm Thickness (22mm Lug Width)
* Case Material: Polished & Brushed 316L Stainless Steel
* Movement: Detroit-Assembled Argonite 5021.D Quartz Chronograph
* Crystal: Double-Domed Sapphire Crystal w/ Anti-Reflective Coating
* Dial Layout: Cool Gray w/ Applied Arabic Numerals & Twin Sub-DialDouble-Domed Sapphire & Coin-Edge Architecture
The Canfield C56 is distinguished by its unique top-ring construction, which allows for an exceptionally clean, open dial view.
Measuring 43mm in diameter with a slim 11.25mm profile, the 316L stainless steel case combines polished coin-edge side detailing with brushed lug surfaces, creating a multi-textured look on the wrist.
Shielding the display is a premium double-domed sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating. This glass curvature gives the dial a subtle vintage distortion at extreme viewing angles while ensuring crystal-clear readability under harsh lighting.
“With its top-ring case construction, cool gray palette, and Detroit-assembled quartz precision, the Canfield C56 brings refined industrial style to daily timing.”
Cool Gray Aesthetics & Argonite 5021.D Precision
The cool gray dial provides an understated, modern backdrop for polished applied Arabic numerals and sword hands filled with luminous material.
Twin recessed sub-dials handle 30-minute chronograph tracking and running seconds, while a date window is positioned at 6 o’clock for visual symmetry.
Powering the watch is Shinola’s Argonite 5021.D quartz movement.
Hand-assembled by skilled technicians at the brand’s Detroit workshop using Swiss and imported components, this movement delivers reliable grab-and-go accuracy alongside precise chronograph push-piece operation.
