Launched in 2017 as a limited series, the Shinola Runwell Jackie Robinson chronograph is part of Shinola's esteemed "Great American" series, which celebrates iconic figures and milestones in American history. As an American watchmaker based in Detroit, Shinola has been committed to honoring America’s rich heritage and cultural contributions through its finely crafted timepieces. This particular reference within the series, limited to just 442 pieces, commemorates Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player and civil rights icon, with thoughtful design elements and exceptional craftsmanship. The watch features a 42mm stainless steel case, a midnight blue dial with two silver subdials, and a date window at 6 o’clock – all of which is powered by the high-accuracy quartz Argonite cal. 5020 movement assembled in Detroit. By incorporating Robinson's legacy into their collection, Shinola not only pays tribute to his groundbreaking achievements but also underscores its dedication to celebrating America's storied past. Like the other references within the “Great American” series, the Runwell Jackie Robinson chronograph is a testament to Shinola's mission of crafting durable, stylish watches that resonate with American pride and honor legendary figures who have helped to shape the nation's history in one way or another.

Watch is in near-mint condition, with only gentle signs of wear. Some minor marks visible along the bezel.
