The 199 Gunmetal — Skeleton Automatic

The 199 is a skeleton automatic watch that blends minimalist design with bold craftsmanship. Built with sapphire glass and a stainless steel case, it’s designed for guys who prefer signal over noise.

Mechanical Art. Full Transparency. Zero Batteries. The 199 reflects modern heritage with a timeless edge.

If you’ve ever wanted to see the heartbeat of a watch in motion, The 199 by Dapr Watches delivers it in full view. This is a true skeleton automatic—crafted for those who appreciate raw mechanics, visible precision, and unapologetic wrist presence.

With both front and back views of the movement exposed, with the Dapr logo precisely laser etched into the steel rotor inlaid in a beautiful one-of-a-kind guilloche pattern. The The 199 doesn’t just tell time—it shows you how. Every gear, every flow of the sweeping hand, every rotation is on display. No batteries. No shortcuts. Just pure mechanical energy powered by your motion.

A watch built for the Dapr man, who feels inspired when looking at the artistic angles, jagged yet flowing brushed matte steel.

Why The 199 Stands Apart:

• Skeleton Automatic Movement — See-through dial and exhibition caseback reveal the full mechanical engine
• No Batteries Required — Self-winding movement keeps ticking with your wrist’s motion with 30+ hour power reserve visible through the dial
• Front & Back Transparency — Dual-view design lets you admire the movement from every angle through crystal clear sapphire glass
• Stainless Steel Case — Durable, matte polished, and built to last
• Water-Resistant Build — Handles daily splashes and unexpected spills
• Bold Design Language — A statement piece that commands attention and respect
• One-Year Warranty — Backed by Dapr’s commitment to quality and reliability

The 199 isn’t just a watch—it’s a mechanical experience of 199 separate pieces of machinery flowing in perfect unison. Hence the name, the 199 is an artistic masterpiece. Guaranteed to spark frequent convos and compliments with random women (or a fellow Dapper gent) or your money back. 

You’re getting the same skeletonized movement, the same premium materials, and the same collector-grade appeal—without paying for a legacy logo. Theres a million Rolex's out there but a limited run of 199/199- 100 Grey and 99 Blue. We got a 199 problems but this aint one.
