The Five Best Aragon Watches on the Market Today

The Aragon watch company began in the Fall of 1991 under the name Android USA and just recently changed its brand name. The Florida based company embraces the motto “building into the future by respecting our past,” in their unique aesthetics and high quality commitment to watchmaking. Although the brand is not as well known as some other more prolific watch companies that have been in operation for a hundred years or better, they offer a variety of quality watches with moderate pricing. Here are the best five Aragon watches on the market today.

Aragon Parma T100

The Parma T100 was launched on a kickstarter campaign and offered the timepiece complete with a box to store spare straps and other accessories. It was the major campaign to kick off the official introduction and to raise money for production of the prototype. Lucky early birds could buy it for a pledge of just $200, in exchange for waiting while production churned them out. The kickstarter editions were sold with two spare straps included, with a stainless steel bracelet and a chunky brown leather strap. A strap changing tool is a part of the package deal. This watch is a heavy duty example weighing 10.8 ounces with a high quality strap burnishing the Aragon logo on the buckle. Even the screw down crown is embossed with a small version of the logo.
The watch features a textured dial with the date/day window placed in the 9 o’clock position. It is illuminated by tritium tubes that light up each index. Unlike some other luminary treatments, it does not require exposure to light to charge. It lights up in low light conditions and the unique system is good for producing a glow for up to 25 years. The Parma T-100 is powered with a Seiko SII 24 jewel movement with a 40 hour power reserve. The case is a 47 mm in diameter.

The crown is aligned at the 4 o’clock position and a serial number is imprinted on the case back. The date is located in line with the crown. It is capped with a K1 crystal with high scratch resistance, but care must still be taken because it’s not immune to breakage.
