Shinola Argonite-5050 The Runwell Chronograph 47mm

This is a Shinola 'The Runwell' Chronograph wristwatch, specifically modeled with the Argonite-5050 quartz movement as indicated on the dial text. The timepiece features a large 47mm polished stainless steel case with a prominent pumpkin-style screw-down crown and two chronograph pushers. The dial is a high-contrast cream/white color with bold black Arabic numeral hour markers and a minute track around the outer edge. It includes three black sub-dials at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, featuring bright orange accent hands, and a date window located at the 6 o'clock position. The primary hands are needle-style with luminous fill. It is equipped with a black rotating bezel that shows some minor edge wear. The watch is attached to a tan or light brown leather strap with color-matched stitching, which appears well-worn with visible creasing and softening near the lugs, suggesting regular use. The craftsmanship is typical of the Detroit-based manufacturer, emphasizing a rugged, vintage 'industrial' aesthetic. Based on the style and markings, it likely dates to the mid-2010s. Condition appears to be good pre-owned, with some light scratching on the steel casing and bezel.
