Jack Mason watches was founded in Dallas, Texas, by a pair of friends who shared a passion for making a best-in-class product. With over 25 years of combined experience in the retail industry, the duo decided to finally take the leap and establish their own brand. In 2013, Jack Mason was launched with a collection of watches and leather goods that combined classic Americana influences with contemporary design. While the brand continues to evolve, the mission to bridge the divide between thoughtful design and attainable goods remains. As a part of that mission we bring you our first Kickstarter limited edition: the JM-D103.
Our diver is the last missing pillar in our catalog and if you talk to most any self-professed “watch nerds,” chances are they own a dive watch or have one on their list of future purchases. So it wasn’t a surprise when our fans began requesting a diver, and that’s what we sought to make. The Jack Mason JM-D103 started as a passion project, became an experiment in design language, and resulted in what you see here. A robust, sea-ready watch with rugged good looks; all with a price tag too good not to just add it to your wish list.
The Jack Mason JM-D103 combines the Jack Mason DNA we’ve built up over the past year with all the rich heritage of the divers that came before us. The greats earned their titles for a reason, and we’d be foolish not to follow their lead. Our diver is built to keep up with the best divers under the water and styled to tackle your desk dives and your black-tie life back on shore.
The watch is all stainless steel and water resistant to 30ATM with a screw down crown. We’re offering 2 attachments for Kickstarter: our 5-row solid stainless steel bracelet and our rubber strap. The glossy dial features a high-visibility index set filled with Super-LumiNova for low light reading at a glance. The dial is covered by a sapphire crystal and complemented with a uni-directional ceramic bezel. We’ve even considered the details you forgot to think about: We engineered the watch to have a 5 ATM water resistance with the crown unscrewed. No unfortunate accidents here. Need to go from beach side to board room? The rubber strap has our standard quick release pins to make switching straps easy and fast. The Japanese Miyota 821A is one of the most well-known and dependable Japanese automatic movements in the industry, keeping you on time day in and day out with no need to change any batteries or plug it in.
We believe anything worth doing is worth doing right; so, when we created the Jack Mason JM-D103 we knew it had to be put to the test. We had our friends Lia Barrett and Jeffrey Honda (both amazing underwater photographers) take the JM-D103 through the paces off the coast of the Hawaiian and Cayman Islands. The results speak for themselves.
Right now, you have a chance to own part of the very limited run of Jack Mason JM-D103 watches at a fraction of the eventual cost. Our projected retail on a watch with this much packed in is $545 on strap and $595 on bracelet; our remaining reward levels start at over 50% off this price. We don’t plan on making any more than we need to for the Kickstarter, so if you’re interested I encourage you to check out our campaign on Kickstarter today!
