Overview

The HOU H1 goes after a vintage military look with a modern movement behind it. It runs an automatic HZ Cal.8046 with a two-hand-plus-small-seconds layout, hacking seconds and a long 72-hour power reserve, so it keeps running through a weekend off the wrist. The 38mm 316L steel case sits under a domed sapphire crystal, water resistance is a practical 100m (10 ATM), and it ships on a vintage-style bund leather strap. The result reads older than it is, in a good way.

The good

  • Automatic with a long 72-hour power reserve
  • Hacking seconds for precise setting
  • Domed sapphire crystal
  • 100m (10 ATM) water resistance
  • Distinctive vintage bund-strap look

The trade-offs

  • Thicker 12.5mm case
  • Small-seconds vintage layout is not for everyone
  • The bund strap is a strong style choice

FAQs

How long does it run off the wrist?

The automatic movement has a 72-hour power reserve, so it will typically still be running after a full weekend of not wearing it.

What is a bund strap?

A bund strap has a leather pad behind the watch, a vintage military detail that cushions the case against the wrist. It is a distinctive look you can also swap out for a standard 20mm strap.
