The main goal of any watch company is to make
a timepiece that keeps accurate time. After that
they go for style and other functions.
We already started with a proven watch
movement that has a great track record of keeping
accurate time, our goal is to simply give you a
beautiful timepiece that will keep the memory of
those who lost their lives on 9/11.
We call our company 343 because 343 firefighters lost their lives that tragic day back in 2001, along with 2,653 other innocent victims.
We began by finding the most popular and the most googled men’s watch in 2023, the Rolex Submariner. Taking that into mind when we started 343 Watch Co., we decided to start with a watch case like the Submariner. This watch case is a rugged diver style watch yet can be worn with casual and dress clothes.
Our watches use an automatic self winding movement that we call the internal engine of our watches. What does this mean? Well, it means it runs and gets its power from movement. When you wear the watch, your daily activities keep the watch wound. When we say activity we mean, sitting at a desk job is not activity. If you're retired and spend most of your day sitting around watching tv, that is not activity. You have to have 8 hours of activity to keep the watch wound fully. That is why your watch comes with a watch winder. When you take your watch off, put it back in the watch winder box that it came in and turn it on. It turns your watch about 15 minutes of every hour to keep it wound. This watch winder is silent and is a nice leather black winder. This way if you don't wear your watch for a week, when you pick it up it will still be on time and running. This watch winder runs on electric or battery.
343 Watches come with sapphire crystals preventing your watch from getting any scratches on the glass.
Why are our watches so special? We have taken metal that was in the debris and wreckage at the Ground Zero site after 9/11 and incorporated that metal in each and every 343 watch. With three hundred and forty three firefighters and two thousand, six hundred and fifty three other victims losing their life on that tragic day, this is our way, time will never let them be forgotten.
Each of our watches are water resistant and tested prior to leaving our facility and each watch comes with a 1 year unconditional warranty. Now lets talk about accuracy. Each watch is regulated for timing prior to leaving our facility also, to 2 seconds a day or less. That is one of the most accurate timings in the industry considering some of Seiko model's timings are within 30 seconds a day on some of their automatic watches.
The watch is rugged, the watch is eye-catching, the watch is made with a purpose. The watch is a 343.
With 4 styles to choose from, only 343 watches will be made of each style.
Get your 1 of 343 and put a piece of history on your wrist.
