Our Philosophy

Every Journey
Needs an Anchor.

Life doesn't always follow a charted course. Some days take you across oceans. Others simply ask you to show up prepared.

At Aft & Anchor, we believe a watch should be more than something that tells time. It should remind you to seek adventure, embrace challenges, and carry yourself with quiet confidence wherever the journey leads.

Founded by a U.S. Navy veteran, every watch we build carries the weight of that service — purpose-built with the durability of a tool watch and the refinement to be worn every single day.

The greatest adventures aren't reserved for explorers. They belong to anyone willing to answer the call.

Adventure, Measured.

The Founder

Built by Someone
Who's Been There.

Aft & Anchor wasn't born in a design studio. It was built from years of real-world experience — the kind you earn at sea, not behind a desk.

As a U.S. Navy veteran, I wore watches that had to perform. Not look good on a shelf — perform. I learned quickly what separates a watch worth wearing from one worth selling, and decided there was a gap worth filling.

Aft & Anchor is the watch I always wanted to find and never could. Built without compromise — for people who live the same way.

— Jason Huston, Founder

What Sets Us Apart

Maritime Engineering.
No Compromises.

01

Miyota 9015 Movement

A proven automatic workhorse — 28,800 VPH, 42-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and full hand-winding capability. Reliable depth doesn't require Swiss pretense.

Automatic. 4Hz. Built to run.

02

Built for 300 Meters

316L stainless steel case. Flat sapphire crystal with internal AR coating. Screw-down crown with integrated guards. ISO 6425 diver standard — built for the ocean, not just the marketing.

300M / 30ATM. Zero compromise.

03

Designed to Be Worn

41mm case, 12.9mm profile, 20mm solid-link bracelet with BGW9 lume on every critical marker. A watch that disappears on the wrist and performs where it counts.

Wears anywhere. Outperforms everywhere.

04

Tool-less Micro-Adjust Clasp

On-the-fly sizing without a tool, a pin, or a watchmaker. A signed push-button clasp in 316L steel that adjusts instantly — whether you're suiting up in the field or sitting down at the table.

No tools. No compromise. Just fit.

Engineering You Can Count On

Built to a Standard
You Can Verify.

Every decision behind the Professional Diver was made to one standard: would we stake our reputation on it? The answer — every single time — was yes.

A purpose-built maritime tool watch with the engineering to perform at depth and the refinement to wear anywhere above it. Built by a veteran who wore watches that had to work — and knows the difference.

The Story Behind
13 Buttons

The name comes from the thirteen buttons found on the classic Navy enlisted dress blues — a symbol recognized by generations of sailors. While the stories behind what those buttons represent have evolved over time, they have become an enduring icon of pride, service, and naval tradition.

For Aft & Anchor, 13 Buttons represents the values that define life at sea: honor, discipline, resilience, craftsmanship, and the bond shared by those who serve. It is a tribute not just to military service, but to anyone who embraces purpose, responsibility, and adventure.

The watch features a Deep Ocean Navy wave-textured dial inspired by the color of the open sea during the midwatch. The ceramic bezel and refined finishing reflect the balance between rugged capability and timeless design.

Unlike many military-inspired watches that focus on combat, 13 Buttons celebrates the quieter moments of naval life — the endless horizon, standing watch beneath a sky full of stars, and the feeling of being connected to something greater than yourself.

The Story Behind
Dixie Cup

Dixie Cup is inspired by the iconic white U.S. Navy sailor cap that has become one of the most recognizable symbols of naval service. For countless sailors, it's one of the first pieces of the uniform they wear as they begin their journey — representing new beginnings, commitment, and the decision to answer a call greater than oneself.

For Aft & Anchor, Dixie Cup symbolizes the excitement of starting a new adventure. It's about setting out with curiosity, embracing the unknown, and discovering what lies beyond the horizon. Every experienced sailor was once a beginner, and every great voyage starts with that first step.

The watch features a clean Cool Gray 1 C wave-textured dial paired with a white ceramic bezel. The crisp, understated color palette reflects clarity, confidence, and the timeless simplicity of classic naval uniforms — bright without being flashy, refined without losing its tool-watch character.

More than a white-dial dive watch, Dixie Cup is a reminder that every expert was once a novice, every explorer once stood at the dock, and every adventure begins with the courage to leave familiar shores.

The Story Behind
Underway

Underway is inspired by one of the most meaningful moments in a sailor's life — the moment a ship gets underway. It marks the transition from preparation to action, when the lines are cast off, the engines come alive, and the open sea replaces the safety of the pier. It is the beginning of a mission, an adventure, and the unknown that lies beyond the horizon.

For Aft & Anchor, Underway represents progress, momentum, and the courage to move forward. It is a reminder that the most rewarding journeys begin only after we leave our comfort zones. Whether crossing an ocean or pursuing a personal dream, every meaningful adventure starts by getting underway.

The watch features a Haze Gray wave-textured dial inspired by the iconic gray hulls of U.S. Navy ships that have sailed every ocean on Earth. Paired with a matching gray ceramic bezel, the design reflects quiet strength, purpose, and understated confidence — rather than demanding attention, Underway earns it.

Built for those who value the journey as much as the destination, and who understand that true adventure is measured not by where you finish, but by the experiences you gain along the way.

The Story Behind
Goat Locker

Goat Locker is inspired by one of the most respected traditions in the U.S. Navy — the Chief Petty Officers' Mess, affectionately known as the Goat Locker. More than a place, it represents a community of leaders who have earned the trust and respect of those around them through years of experience, mentorship, and unwavering commitment.

For Aft & Anchor, Goat Locker is a tribute to leadership that is earned, not given. It honors the men and women who lead by example, remain calm under pressure, and understand that true authority comes from serving others before themselves.

The watch features a pale khaki wave-textured dial paired with a matching ceramic bezel. The warm, understated tones evoke canvas, weathered decks, rope, and the timeless materials of life at sea — a colorway that reflects maturity, resilience, and quiet confidence rather than seeking attention.

As the rarest Founder Edition colorway — individually numbered and limited in production — Goat Locker stands for wisdom, responsibility, and leadership earned through experience. The greatest achievements are built over time, through perseverance, integrity, and a willingness to guide others.
