Jack Mason partnered with A&W to create a Root Beer GMT impressed by the long-lasting beverage model’s brand.Jack Mason
The 2-tone sapphire bezel is darkish brown on the highest half and orange on the underside half, with numerals and markings in a burnt yellow tone. The dial is a brown gradient that’s mild within the middle and darker on the edges, which is meant to imitate a chicken’s eye view of a scoop of vanilla ice cream dropped right into a mug of A&W to create a root beer float. It’s a bit summary, however the general impact is kind of engaging.
The GMT hand is mild orange, which is color-matched to the GMT textual content at 6:00 on the dial. Just under “GMT” in white is a few retro font labeling the watch “The Root Beer,” simply to make issues official, together with A&W’s slogan “Since 1919.” Flip the watch over, and as a substitute of the Strat-o-timer’s regular show caseback, we get a closed one that includes a distinguished embossed A&W brand.
