Men's Guardian Automatic Watches

The Guardian Automatic collection represents a new era in Scandinavian watchmaking. Designed by acclaimed designer Jakob Wagner, these automatic watches embody elegance, purpose, and sustainability in equal measure. Each Guardian watch features a Japanese automatic movement housed in a meticulously crafted stainless steel case, combining timeless aesthetics with mechanical precision. Available in both 36mm and 40mm sizes, the Guardian Automatic is more than just a timepiece—it's a symbol of resilience, responsibility, and quiet confidence.

What Makes the Guardian Automatic Special

The Guardian Automatic watches are built on a foundation of thoughtful design and sustainable craftsmanship. Each timepiece features a Calibre 9039 automatic movement, eliminating the need for battery replacements and reducing environmental impact. The 316L stainless steel case undergoes a sand-blasted finish with polished index markers and hands, creating a striking contrast that enhances readability while maintaining the collection's minimalist aesthetic.

Protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass, the crisp white dial showcases Jakob Wagner's philosophy of purposeful design. At just 7.97mm thick, the Guardian Automatic maintains a slim profile that slides comfortably under shirt cuffs, making it equally suitable for formal occasions and everyday wear. Every material choice, from corrosion-resistant components to durable construction, reflects Nordgreen's commitment to creating watches designed to last 100 years.

Choose Your Perfect Guardian Automatic

The Men's Guardian Automatic collection offers two versatile size options to suit different wrist sizes and style preferences:

Size Options:

  • Guardian Automatic 36mm – Ideal for slimmer wrists or those who prefer a more understated presence. The 36mm case diameter offers classic proportions with modern refinement.
  • Guardian Automatic 40mm – A contemporary size that balances presence and wearability. The 40mm case provides excellent dial legibility while maintaining the collection's elegant silhouette.

Design Features:

  • Case Finish – Silver stainless steel with sand-blasted texture and polished accents
  • Dial – Clean white dial with polished indices and hands for optimal contrast
  • Strap – Premium link bracelet in brushed and polished stainless steel
  • Movement – Calibre 9039 automatic mechanical movement
  • Crystal – Sapphire glass with anti-reflective properties

Both sizes are available with meticulously crafted link bracelets that complement the Guardian's sophisticated aesthetic.

Scandinavian Design Philosophy

The Guardian Automatic embodies the core principles of Scandinavian design: clarity, functionality, and longevity. Jakob Wagner's design approach eliminates unnecessary elements while ensuring every component serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. The result is a versatile timepiece that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to weekend, complementing any wardrobe with understated sophistication.

Automatic Movement: Tradition Meets Sustainability

Powered by the reliable Calibre 9039 automatic movement, the Guardian watches harness the kinetic energy of your natural wrist movements to maintain continuous operation. This self-winding mechanism represents traditional watchmaking craftsmanship while aligning with sustainable principles—no batteries to replace, no electronic waste to dispose of. The transparent case back on select models allows you to appreciate the intricate mechanical movement in motion.

Built to Last Generations

Nordgreen's Guardian Automatic collection is the result of extensive sustainability research and development. Every decision—from material selection and corrosion resistance to servicing, repairs, and eventual recycling—has been carefully considered to ensure these timepieces can be maintained and cherished for decades. The use of premium 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal, and quality mechanical movements means your Guardian watch can become a family heirloom, not just a temporary accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the water resistance of Guardian Automatic watches?

Water resistance is model-specific. Please refer to individual product pages for exact ATM ratings and care instructions. We recommend removing your automatic watch before swimming or showering to maintain the movement's longevity.

How does an automatic watch movement work?

The Guardian Automatic features a Calibre 9039 mechanical movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. A weighted rotor inside the watch rotates as you move, transferring energy to the mainspring. When worn regularly, the watch maintains continuous operation without requiring manual winding or batteries. If unworn for extended periods, the watch will stop and require manual winding or wearing to restart.

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

The 36mm Guardian Automatic offers classic proportions ideal for wrist sizes 6-7 inches (15-18cm) or those preferring a more understated aesthetic. The 40mm version suits wrist sizes 7-8 inches (18-20cm) and provides greater dial presence while maintaining elegant proportions. Both sizes feature the same slim 7.97mm case thickness for comfortable all-day wear. Consider visiting our men's watches collection to compare sizing across different models.

Can I change the strap on my Guardian Automatic watch?

No, The Guardian Automatic comes with an integrated link bracelet that is specifically designed for this model's case architecture. Unlike watches with traditional strap attachments, the Guardian's bracelet flows seamlessly into the case design, creating a cohesive aesthetic. For strap customization options or alternative configurations, we recommend visiting our mens's watches collection to explore other models with interchangeable straps.
