Vario VERSA Reversible Single Time Black Tuxedo Automatic Watch

Reversible Art Deco watches for every occasion

The reversible case was not invented for aesthetics – it was invented for polo. Riders in the 1930s needed to protect the crystal from mallet impacts, and so the swivel case emerged: dial down towards the wrist, smooth/solid side up. The Vario VERSA retains this mechanism but reverses its meaning. Turning the watch is not an escape from the world, but a choice: a white or black dial, elegant or consciously hidden – two moods in one watch.

The VERSA case shape draws inspiration from the Streamline Moderne style – a 1930s design movement that brought dynamism, rounded edges, and symmetry to industrial design. The rectangular case with gently beveled corners and proportions referencing elegant wristwatches from the golden age underlines the character of a dressy model intended for formal occasions. Two variations are available. Each features a two-tone dial with mirrored stripes – a visual motif directly inspired by interior Art Deco.

The reverse side, once the case is flipped, reveals a sapphire crystal with a view of the decorated custom rotor, specially designed for this model. Flipping it takes seconds: release the locking mechanism, the case folds, and the watch takes on a different look. The movement runs identically in both positions.

For an ultra-thin case profile, Vario chose the Miyota 6T28 – the most compact automatic caliber in Miyota's portfolio. Its minimal height allows for an overall thickness of 10.5 mm despite the reversible construction. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 40 hours.

The VERSA Automatic is produced in limited quantities. This is intentional: Vario does not want to become a manufacturer of affordable watches for the masses, but a creator of objects where every piece has meaning. Limited production ensures that the watch you choose will not be seen on every other wrist.
