Goodspeed Watches was born out of the desire to create a watch that was well made, vintage inspired and affordable. Our newest project, the Sonoma is named after the Sonoma raceway in my home state of California. The 2.52 mile course has been raced on by some of the greatest drivers in history: Andretti, Unser, Earnhardt.

The Goodspeed Sonoma prototypes are currently in production, and we're targeting a Kickstarter launch in August of this year. To read why we're launching it on Kickstarter, read this.

Made from 316L stainless steel and with a case diameter of 42mm the watch will be made with some of the best modern components. It'll come in four colorways (shown above) and two trim levels:

• Mechanical: The mechanical option will feature the Seagull ST1901 mechanical (manual wind) movement and sapphire crystal and be priced under $300.
• Quartz: the quartz option will have a Miyota 6S21 quartz movement and be priced around $150.

Both trim levels will be available in all four colorways on an Italian leather racing band as shown above. The only way you'll be able to tell the difference between the two is that the casebacks will be engraved with the movement contained within.

Additionally, we'll offer a matched custom stainless bracelet with solid end links in both stainless and black PVD. A low resolution render of the Sonoma on the stainless bracelet shown below. This style of bracelet created by Gay Freres for Patek Phillipe and later Heuer is referred to as "beads of rice" and was the perfect bracelet to compliment the vintage style of the Sonoma.

Case width (without crown): 42mm
