Checkered Strap Watch with Printed Dial

Details

A wristwatch built around a checkered strap, in red and white or black and white. The squares run the length of the strap and stop at a small white round case with a printed dial: a red rectangular label, block lettering across the face, tick marks around the rim and a crown at three o'clock. The strap has a line of punched holes and closes on a plain white buckle. It reads casual, at home with denim, a plain tee and low sneakers. The red version is the louder of the two and picks up a red cap or laces; the black one stays closer to a classic checkerboard and disappears under a dark sleeve. The case is small enough not to fight a bracelet on the same wrist.
