As I am forever on the lookout for nicely made, preferably non-retro, and certainly budget-minded sports watches, I received more than a couple of Instagram DMs pointing me to the new Sea Ranger from Chicago-based Astor & Banks. Run by one Andrew Perez, Astor & Banks numbers among the ranks of the microbrands (a term of which even I have tired). The Sea Ranger is their latest offering, and follows their format of subtly blending various elements from different genres of watch design.
