A tale of two cases - part 2 - Cased in Time
In search of a small, lightweight travel case I came across Cased in Time from the UK. The make a clamshell case from what seems like reinforced cordura/nylon. The case is of a clever and simple design. It looks like a donut with one taller side which acc...
Yes, exactly.
It’s not a solution for transporting a collection, but for one or two watches when travelling for business or a holiday it’s ideal.
Thanks for sharing this with us Jon …
I was given a dark grey version, works very well for an individual watch. The plus is that it doesn’t look like a traditional watch case. Stealthy !
No problem Captain!
Yes, you are right about it not looking like a watch case. I bought my wife the grey one for her datejust but she ended up using it to store a bracelet for most of the time on a recent holiday.
Yes, that’s actually a good idea about your wife’s bracelet
I also noticed that the have an offer on today.
When I saw the logo..
It immediately transported me back to the 80’s Concord watch somehow and Shure headphone cases ...
The website says that postage outside of the UK is calculated at the checkout.
I think they are a small operation and they seemed very responsive when I dealt with them. Perhaps send them an email if you have any queries. Alternatively, NT931’s post below suggests there may be similar products on Amazon if that helps. All the best J...
These work super well for individual watches...
... I have a bunch of the old Oakley Watch Vault cases, which were the same case in black tactical cordura/nylon. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore, but they used to make them in 2 sizes.
Thanks APROchrono
I like Oakley sport sunglasses a lot but I never knew they made watch cases.
This is very similar in design to the old Oakley Watch Vault
The Oakleys were excellent , but apparently they’re not made anymore. I still have one of them… very tough, and excellent for travel. Fortunately there are others on Amazon as well, which have similar designs, and come in attractive colors like brown, or ...
Haven’t tried all of them…
… but some of the other cases are not as good. A couple I have bought had exposed zips on the inside, which could scratch the watch. The Oakleys were fantastic and had a soft covering for every metal part.
I've been using a black version of these for some time and they are excellent. Small with good protection. Works well for watches on a strap or bracelet . The depression in the top prevents
bracelets from folding in and scratching the watch... or itself.
Pretty cool case and style
A friend of mine is starting out with his own brand in that space as well, and, after having tested it on a few trips, I can vouch that they pretty cool and comfortable. Cheers, Alex ...
