Wempe now offers blue or black rubber straps for its sporty Iron Walker collection of sharp-looking sports watches available with Diver, Tide, or GMT functions.
Wempe introduced the Iron Walker collection in 2020 as a high-value series that complements its dressier Wempe Chronometerwerk collection, a high-end series powered by in-house mechanical movements.
The new rubber strap options offer a sportier look to the 42mm functional-focused series with weather-resistant synthetic rubber that matches the watch’s dial coloring. Wempe already includes rubber-strap options within its top-selling 44mm Iron Walker Automatic Chronograph collection.
Rather than simply fitting an off-the-shelf movement into each Iron Walker Dive, GMT, or Tide watch, Wempe modifies a Swiss automatic Sellita movement in its Glashütte workshop, adding an in-house fine adjustment subassembly regulated to pass the stringent testing procedure in Glashütte’s own historical observatory.
As a result, all the watches in the collection are officially certified chronometer-rated according to the ISO 3159 norm.
All models also offer 300-meter water resistance, a sapphire crystal, SuperLuminova-coated markers, and fifty-six hours of power reserve.
Currently, Wempe is also updating all the offerings within its Wempe Zeitmeister and Iron Walker collections to meet the same strict technical specifications. Prices: $4,150 (diver), $4,440 (GMT), and $4,185 (Tide).
