A Tribute to Champions. A Celebration of South African Pride.

More than a timepiece, this one-of-a-kind creation is a symbol of national pride, sporting heritage and the unbreakable spirit of a nation united by rugby.
One Nation. One Passion. One Extraordinary Timepiece.

CHRONO – THE DARKER THE BRIGHTER
Superluminova is a phosphorescent phosphor and free of radioactive additives. Superluminova is a hundred times brighter than other inactive luminescent pigments. When the luminescent pigments have been excited by daylight or artificial light, they release the absorbed light energy over several hours in the dark. This gives the watch extremely good clarity even in the dark. STEEL
Not all steels are created equal.We use 316L stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional strength, durability and corrosion resistance. Beyond its remarkable resilience, this premium-grade steel reveals a beautifully refined silver tone when expertly finished.
Another reason for our choice is its lower nickel release compared to alternatives such as 904L stainless steel, making 316L a preferred material for our timepieces.
Tough, resilient and built to perform. Just like Cheslin Kolbe's muscles.

Oh my god, moving was a huge step for us! ❤️
Taking over our dad’s legacy has been one of the most beautiful gifts we could have received. And getting to do it together, as siblings, makes it even more special.
Wouldn’t be the same without our young, passionate team. So much love for what we do and for the people we do it with. ❤️

Our ZÜRI-DATE BRONZE PINK is a perfect fit for these autum days. The bronze has the warmth of fall, and the pink has the playfulness of summer. It’s a combination you might not necessarily expect. But as a family, we’ve never been particularly good at doing only what’s expected.
The best thing about bronze, anyway, is that it doesn’t care what it once looked like. It changes—with every day you wear it, in response to your skin, the weather, and your habits. It develops a patina that no one can predict. After a few months, your ZÜRI-DATE will look different from the one in the studio—and different from any other. Because by then, it will have become a part of you.

Indian Summer in Zurich 🍁💗
Sometimes all it takes is a sunny October Sunday to bring back a taste of summer. The family gets together, friends join in, jackets stay unbuttoned, and a short walk turns into an entire afternoon. One of those moments you’d love to hold onto forever.
We spent these last warm hours with our ZÜRI-DATE BRONZE PINK—a watch that tells a little more of your story with each passing day. With bronze that changes over time and a shade of pink that refuses to let summer go.

In pink and ready for a ride 💗🏍️
Our Züri-Date Pink, inspired by Zurich’s tram No. 10, now in full bronze and ready to hit the road.
And while we’re out riding, we ride for a reason. Every October, for every pink watch we sell, we donate to @krebsliga in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Good rides with pink vibes for a good cause. 💗
