THE HEARTLANDER POLAR VINTAGE

In the world of vintage tool watches, there are legends. While most classic explorer’s watches were made with black dials for high contrast, a few rare and sought-after variants were created with off-white or silver dials. Nicknamed "albinos" by collectors, these elusive pieces became icons of understated style. The Heartlander 'Polar Vintage' is our tribute to that legacy—a crisp, textured silver-white dial with warm, aged lume that captures the soul of a rare vintage field watch.

For this limited 2025 small-batch restock, we've taken the opportunity to make a few subtle refinements. The Polar Vintage now features our new, sleeker angular handset for improved legibility and a smaller, more proportionate crown that enhances wearing comfort. These are the thoughtful updates that take a classic design to the next level.

Please note: Only 15 pieces are available in this batch.

REASONS TO LOVE THE HEARTLANDER

Assembled and regulated in the US
Silver textured dial with vintage lumed markers
New on-the-fly micro adjustable clasp

CLASSIC PROPORTIONS

We believe the perfect every day watch is well balanced and slips easily under a shirt cuff. That's why we chose a timeless 38mm case size with a total thickness (including the domed crystal) of just 11.2mm. The watch looks right at home in both casual and formal settings, thanks to the polished chamfer along the top and bottom sides of the case, as well as between the lugs.

ALL DAY COMFORT

As with all of our models, we placed a high emphasis on wearability when designing both the watch and bracelet. The case is small wrist friendly, measuring 46mm from lug-to-lug and angle downward. The links on the presidential style bracelet fully articulate and their short length offers more precise adjustments. Combined with the micro adjustment on the clasp, we're confident you'll get the just the right fit for your wrist.

US ASSEMBLY & REGULATION

As a small start up, we partner with global suppliers to manufacture components to our design specifications. But everything comes together in our Kansas City workshop where our watchmaker hand assembles each watch. In-house assembly has helped reduce defects and improves component alignments. As part of our quality control check, the movement is then further regulated from the factory specified +30 / -10s per day to +12 / -10s per day or better.

DEPENDABLE & PRECISE

We chose the Miyota 9039 automatic movement from Citizen to power the Dryden Heartlander. In addition to its reliability and easy of service, the 3.9mm thick movement gave us to freedom to create a slim case profile while maintaining water resistance. A custom color and font matched date at the 6 o'clock provides both function and symmetry. When fully charged, the power reserve is ~ 42 hours.

PERFECT FIT - ON DEMAND

We understand that wrist sizes naturally fluctuate throughout the day – whether due to heat, hydration, or activity. Achieving the perfect bracelet fit shouldn't require inconvenient tools. That's why the Heartlander bracelet now features a premium tool-less micro-adjustable clasp. This new system allows you to make quick, subtle size adjustments on-the-fly, ensuring maximum comfort and a secure fit.

EASY TO PERSONALIZE

Match your Heartlander to your outfit by changing out the metal bracelet for any rubber, leather, or nylon strap of your choice! Simply pinch together the quick release spring bars to remove the bracelet and do the reverse to install your new strap. All of our watch straps offer built-in quick release spring bars to make the process a breeze.
