Guardian Automatic Watches

The Guardian Automatic collection represents a new chapter in Scandinavian watchmaking. Designed by renowned Danish designer Jakob Wagner, each Guardian timepiece embodies the perfect balance of elegance, sustainability, and timeless design. More than just a watch, Guardian symbolizes resilience, responsibility, and the quiet confidence that comes from wearing a timepiece built to last generations.

Available in two versatile sizes—36mm and 40mm—Guardian automatic watches feature a refined link strap, sapphire glass crystal, and the reliable Calibre 9039 automatic movement. Discover a watch that reflects your commitment to quality and mindful living.

What Makes Guardian Automatic Watches Special

Guardian is the result of extensive sustainability research and meticulous development. Every decision—from the choice of materials to corrosion resistance, servicing, repairs, and eventual recycling—has been carefully examined to ensure these watches can endure for the next 100 years. The sand-blasted stainless steel case with polished index and hands creates a sophisticated contrast, while the sapphire glass provides exceptional scratch resistance and clarity.

The heart of each Guardian is the Calibre 9039 automatic movement, a self-winding mechanism that draws energy from the natural motion of your wrist. This traditional watchmaking technology eliminates the need for batteries, making Guardian a truly sustainable choice. The thoughtful materials and ethical craftsmanship reinforce Nordgreen's commitment to both people and the environment.

Choose Your Perfect Guardian Automatic

The Guardian collection offers two carefully considered size options to suit different wrist sizes and style preferences:

  • Guardian Automatic 40mm: A statement piece with commanding presence, ideal for those who prefer a larger watch face. The 40mm case offers excellent legibility while maintaining the Guardian's characteristic minimalist aesthetic. Perfect for medium to larger wrists.
  • Guardian Automatic 36mm: A versatile size that works beautifully on smaller to medium wrists. The 36mm case provides a refined, understated elegance that transitions seamlessly from professional settings to casual wear. Designed as a unisex timepiece for all-day comfort.

Both sizes feature the same premium construction: Stainless Steel 316L case with sand-blasted finish and polished details, sapphire glass crystal, white dial with minimalist design, and a matching silver link strap. The slim 7.97mm case thickness ensures the watch sits comfortably on your wrist without bulk.

Scandinavian Design Philosophy

Guardian embodies the core principles of Scandinavian design: functional simplicity, lasting quality, and mindful aesthetics. The clean lines, uncluttered dial, and timeless proportions ensure Guardian will remain relevant for decades to come. This is a watch that respects your intelligence and values substance over trend.

Link Strap Craftsmanship

The integrated link strap is an essential element of the Guardian design. Crafted from the same premium Stainless Steel 316L as the case, the bracelet features polished and brushed surfaces that catch light beautifully. The secure clasp and adjustable links ensure a perfect fit for any wrist size. For those who appreciate the weight, feel, and durability of a metal bracelet, Guardian's link strap delivers exceptional quality.

Automatic Movement Excellence

The Calibre 9039 automatic movement represents proven watchmaking technology. As you move throughout your day, the rotor inside the watch winds the mainspring, storing energy to power the timekeeping mechanism. This self-sustaining approach means you'll never need to replace a battery—simply wear your watch regularly, and it will keep running.

Automatic movements require minimal maintenance and can last for generations with proper care. Guardian's movement is designed for reliability and accuracy, embodying the sustainable values at the core of the collection. Explore our complete range of automatic watches to discover more about this traditional watchmaking craft.

Built for Men and Women

Guardian transcends traditional gender categories with its versatile sizing and timeless design. The 40mm option is featured in our men's automatic watches collection, while the 36mm size appears in both our men's Guardian and women's Guardian collections. This inclusive approach reflects our belief that great design should be accessible to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the water resistance of Guardian automatic watches?

Water resistance is model-specific for Guardian watches. Please refer to individual product pages for exact ATM ratings and care instructions. While Guardian is built with quality seals and construction, we recommend checking your specific model's rating before water exposure.

How do I care for my automatic watch?

To keep your Guardian running optimally, wear it regularly so the automatic movement stays wound. If you don't wear it for several days, gently wind it by rotating your wrist or using the crown. Store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields. Clean the case and bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. We recommend professional servicing every 3-5 years to maintain accuracy and longevity.

Can I change the strap on my Guardian automatic watch?

Guardian automatic watches feature an integrated link bracelet design where the strap flows seamlessly into the case. While the link bracelet is designed as a permanent part of the Guardian aesthetic, you can adjust the fit by adding or removing links. For sizing adjustments, consult a professional watchmaker or jeweler to ensure proper installation.

Which Guardian size should I choose—36mm or 40mm?

The choice between 36mm and 40mm depends on your wrist size and style preference. The 36mm works beautifully for wrists up to 175mm and offers a refined, versatile look suitable for any occasion. The 40mm is ideal for wrists 160mm and larger, providing greater presence and visibility. Both sizes feature identical quality and design language, so your decision should be based on comfort and aesthetic preference.
