Pickup currently not available
The Weekend Driver's Watch You've Actually Been Waiting For
Right then. Picture this: you've got the keys to something rather splendid sitting in the garage, the open road beckoning, and on your wrist is this gloriously purposeful chronograph. The Driver MkII isn't trying to be anything it isn't, which is refreshingly honest for a watch. It's a beautifully crafted homage to the golden age of motor racing, done with just enough wit and technical prowess to make you smile every time you glance down.
Why Choose Our Driver Chronograph
Proper Retro Racing Heritage: Inspired by the legendary GT cars of the 1970s and 1980s, this marvellous timepiece captures that intoxicating blend of tradition and modernity. The iconic white panda dial with yellow accents doesn't just look rather good—it actually means something.
Japanese Mecha-Quartz Precision: Inside beats a highly respected Seiko VK64 hybrid movement. It's the sort of mechanism that feels utterly fetching when you glance at those subdial complications. Chronograph accuracy meets quartz reliability in one splendid package.
Beautifully Engineered Case: A brushed 43 millimetre stainless steel case with a brushed and polished bezel that sits just right on the wrist. The sapphire crystal is thoroughly scratch-resistant, which frankly matters when you're actually using this watch for weekend adventures rather than desk duty.
Delightfully Detailed Touches: Luminous hands and hour markers catch the light rather nicely. The caseback features an etched retro racing driver's helmet from the 1970s—a detail that's gloriously specific without being at all overwrought.
Properly Handsome Leather Rally Strap: Genuine perforated padded leather with quick-release pins and a brushed buckle bearing an etched logo. It genuinely recalls the upholstery and driving gloves of classic motorsport, and it feels rather marvellous on the skin.
Limited Production Run: First batch restricted to one hundred pieces per colour. Once they're gone, they're gone, and there's something rather satisfying about owning something genuinely scarce.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
