Fraser & Co. The Visionary — Automatic Skeleton Watch
About this watch
Design
The Visionary is the first automatic in Fraser & Co.'s mechanical series, and it wears its engineering on its sleeve. An open, skeletonized dial reveals the movement turning beneath, framed by a lightweight titanium case that is stronger than steel yet far lighter. Sapphire crystal on both the front and the exhibition case back lets you watch the mechanics from every angle.
Movement
At its heart is a Miyota 8N24 automatic caliber, skeletonized to show its 21 jewels and beating balance. It runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 42-hour power reserve and winds itself from the motion of your wrist — no battery required.
Wear and water resistance
Titanium keeps the Visionary featherlight and hypoallergenic on the wrist, while dual sapphire crystals resist scratches. It is rated to 100m (10 ATM), easily handling rain, splashes and hand-washing.
Who it's for
For the mechanical enthusiast who wants a genuine automatic skeleton in premium materials at an accessible price. Professional in profile, fascinating in detail.
New, boxed and warrantied — free US shipping.

Customer reviews
Seeing the automatic movement working away is just sick. The Visionary is a real head-turner at the office and out on weekends.
Has a nice heft to it without being bulky. The skeleton dial is finished beautifully and the sleek design is top tier.
Got this for my boyfriend and he literally won't take it off. The exposed gears are his absolute favorite part.
Keeps good time for an auto in this price range. Looks way more expensive than it is. Giving it 4 stars just because I wish the lume was slightly brighter.
Sleek, mechanical, and bold. Exactly what I was looking for in my first skeleton watch. Highly recommend Fraser Co.
