Shinola Pocket Watch

Shinola celebrates the legacy of African American inventor Elijah McCoy with the Mechanic Pocket Watch, part of its Great Americans Series. Known for his groundbreaking automatic engine lubricator, McCoy's contributions are honored in this 45mm timepiece. The pocket watch features a sandblasted PVD black finish, gold numerals on a black dial, a gold crown detail, and a matching steel chain. Its heart is the SW210-1 manually-wound movement.

Inspired by classic locomotives, this pocket watch boasts a matte black finish with gold and red accents. The full exhibition case back showcases the intricate manual wind movement. Limited to just 350 pieces, the Elijah McCoy Pocket Watch is both a functional timepiece and a tribute to McCoy's enduring impact on engineering and craftsmanship. Whether worn or displayed on its custom wooden stand, it embodies the excellence synonymous with "The Real McCoy."
