Black Badger puts his well-known lumed stamp on the Vagabonde with this new collaboration with Hautlence. The new Vagabonde X Black Badger is a riff on the 2022 and its pinball ‘wrist piece’. A bit of high profile history but in an actual wearable timepiece for 2023.

This new piece comes in a stainless steel case measuring 43mm x 50.8mm (thickness of 11.9mm) with a water resistance of 100m.

The dial is black, frosted, and features orange Badgerite®. With a wandering hours and minutes form of timekeeping, there are three hour satellites and a minutes disc. The hour markers and numerals are filled with Super-LumiNova.

Through the sapphire case back can be seen the automatic calibre B30 which beats at 21,600 VPH and has a power reserve of three days. The back also features the Hautlence name and Black Badger logo.

Coming on a blue rubber strap with a steel folding clasp, the Hautlence Black Badger X Vagabonde is limited to 28 pieces with an RRP of CHF 33,000.

This is simply a fun watch, a combination of some of the Hautlence design cues for which it is known, a playful reference courtesy of its recent past, and the colour vibrancy that James of Black Badger brings to his watch collaborations.
