Inspired by an Icon. Built to Be Worn.
The Santiko combines the sharp lines of an integrated sports watch with the reliability of a modern automatic movement. Its clean case design, slim profile and balanced proportions make it equally at home in the office, on weekends or dressed up for the evening. Powered by the trusted NH35A Japanese automatic movement, it's built to be worn every day, not kept in a drawer.
Premium Components Throughout
Every Santiko is assembled using carefully selected components chosen for their durability and long-term reliability. Inside you'll find the dependable NH35A automatic movement, protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and housed in a solid stainless steel case for added everyday confidence. These are the details that matter after years of ownership, not just on day one.
Integrated Design. Everyday Comfort.
The integrated stainless steel bracelet is one of the Santiko's defining features, flowing seamlessly into the case for a clean, modern profile. Finished with brushed and polished surfaces, removable links and a secure butterfly clasp, it's designed to feel as good on the wrist as it looks. Comfortable enough for daily wear. Refined enough for any occasion.
Hand Assembled in Melbourne
Every Santiko is hand assembled in our Melbourne workshop before undergoing a final quality inspection. Unlike mass-produced watches, each piece is individually built, checked and prepared by our team before it leaves the workshop. It's one of the reasons collectors continue to choose Instinct Time. When you order from us, you're buying directly from an Australian business that genuinely stands behind every watch we build.
