Introducing the Prestex Verimatic 2.0: A British Watchmaking Classic Reimagined

Five distinctive dials. Swiss automatic precision. A new chapter for one of Prestex's most recognisable watches.

Now Available to Order | £895 | Expected Delivery Late November 2026

Some watch designs are remembered for their elegance. Others stand apart because they have a character entirely their own. The Prestex Verimatic has always belonged to the latter category.

Now, British independent watchmaker Prestex introduces the Prestex Verimatic 2.0 collection, a thoroughly refined evolution of its distinctive cushion shaped automatic watch. Combining vintage British design inspiration with modern Swiss mechanical engineering, the latest generation brings meaningful improvements while preserving the unmistakable personality of the original.

With five new dial variations, a Swiss Sellita automatic movement, upgraded finishing and an individually numbered production series, the Verimatic 2.0 represents an exciting new chapter for Prestex.

Available to order now for £895, with the first deliveries currently expected in late November 2026.

A Distinctive Design, Refined for a New Generation

At the heart of the Verimatic's identity is its beautifully proportioned cushion shaped case.

Unlike conventional round watches, the Verimatic's distinctive silhouette features gently curved contours and concave satin brushed sides, creating a shape that feels both historically inspired and refreshingly individual.

The new Verimatic 2.0 retains this recognisable design in a refined 39mm stainless steel case, offering an appealing balance between vintage proportions and contemporary wrist presence.

A newly designed onion shaped crown introduces an additional touch of traditional watchmaking character, while upgraded hands, applied dial detailing and a flush fitting sapphire crystal contribute to a more sophisticated overall finish.

Every refinement has been carefully considered, creating a watch that remains unmistakably Verimatic while feeling more accomplished than ever.

Swiss Precision: The Sellita SW200 Automatic Movement

Perhaps the most significant development in the Verimatic 2.0 is the introduction of a Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement.

Replacing the Japanese Miyota movement found in the previous generation, this respected Swiss mechanical calibre marks an important step forward in the collection's evolution.

Powered by the natural movement of the wearer's wrist, the Sellita SW200 offers traditional automatic watchmaking with hours, minutes and seconds.

A sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the movement within, allowing owners to appreciate the intricate mechanical engineering that powers their watch.

For enthusiasts who value the craftsmanship of a mechanical timepiece, the introduction of the Sellita SW200 adds another compelling dimension to the Verimatic's distinctive design.

Five Distinctive Dials, Five Different Personalities

One of the most exciting aspects of the new collection is its selection of five carefully considered dial variations.

Each brings a different personality to the Verimatic 2.0, from rich graduated colours to traditional Roman numerals and striking California dial configurations.

Orange Fumé

Bold, warm and full of character, the Orange Fumé dial introduces a rich graduated finish that transitions from a vibrant orange centre towards darker outer tones.

Its depth of colour complements the vintage inspired case beautifully, creating a distinctive watch with considerable visual presence.

Midnight Blue Fumé

For those who prefer a cooler and more understated expression, Midnight Blue Fumé offers a sophisticated alternative.

Deep blue tones and a graduated dial finish create an elegant appearance that works equally well with formal clothing and everyday wear.

White Roman

The White Roman variation embraces the classical side of the Verimatic design.

A clean white dial with Roman numeral detailing creates a timeless aesthetic, drawing inspiration from traditional watchmaking while allowing the unusual cushion shaped case to take centre stage.

Yellow California

For collectors seeking something unconventional, the Yellow California offers one of the most distinctive interpretations in the collection.

Its California dial combines Roman and Arabic numerals, bringing a fascinating historical watchmaking influence together with a confident contemporary colour.

Light Blue California

The Light Blue California introduces a brighter and more playful character to the collection.

Combining a fresh light blue dial with the distinctive mixed numeral layout, this variation demonstrates how traditional design influences can be interpreted in a modern and individual way.

Whether drawn to the warmth of Orange Fumé, the sophistication of Midnight Blue or the distinctive personality of the California dials, there is a Verimatic 2.0 to suit a wide range of tastes.

Individually Numbered: A Special First Production Series

The new Prestex Verimatic 2.0 collection will comprise 1,200 individually numbered watches, with numbering running from 1/1200 through to 1200/1200.

To celebrate the introduction of the collection, the first 100 watches have been allocated as a special launch selection, comprising just 20 examples of each of the five dial variations.

These early examples offer an appealing opportunity for collectors and Prestex enthusiasts to secure a watch from the very beginning of the Verimatic's next chapter.

With a total production of 1,200 individually numbered pieces, the collection also carries a distinctive sense of identity beyond its design and mechanical specifications.

British Watchmaking Heritage, Contemporary Swiss Engineering

The story of Prestex reaches back to the 1920s, when Frank Duckworth established the original watch company.

Today, his grandson Neil Duckworth continues that family connection, drawing on decades of watch industry experience to develop watches that celebrate British design heritage while embracing contemporary mechanical watchmaking.

Rather than following established trends, Prestex has developed a collection defined by individuality, thoughtful proportions and distinctive design.

The Verimatic 2.0 continues that philosophy.

Its vintage inspired cushion shaped case, newly refined detailing and Swiss automatic movement demonstrate how a familiar design can evolve without losing the qualities that made it special.

Alongside creations such as the Prestex Marcato Jumping Hour, the latest Verimatic illustrates the continuing development of an independent British watch brand with a clear design identity.
