S.U.F Helsinki SUF 180 NWC Neighbourhood Watch Club LE 

As you’re probably aware, we’re enormous fans of Sarpaneva here at Watch Vault, as evidenced by an image of one of their pieces greeting you on our homepage. As spectacular as they are, their price point can sometimes be prohibitive. But alas, Stepan and his team have a solution to this issue, and that solution is S.U.F Helsinki. What Tudor is to Rolex, S.U.F is a sub-brand of Sarpaneva and allows some of Stepan’s watchmaking magic to accessed by more people. But it’s not only a price-pointed product. They are quite different to Sarpaneva in their mostly tool-watch vibe, and therefore have an appeal all of their own.

This particular piece is known as the 180, and is a part of a range of ‘Field Watches’ available from S.U.F. It features a beautifully proportioned and very easy-to-wear 38.7mm case made of Finnish steel, measuring just 8.9mm thick and 46.4mm lug-to-lug like all SUF180's, however this piece is a little more special as it was made in a limited run of 10 pieces for LA-based watch collecting group, Neighbourhood Watch Club. It still features a frosted Turquoise dial like the regular 180T, but with their own touches added such as the frosted silver hands, and frosted printing rather than the usual blued hands and black printing. You'll also notice a subtle change to the model moniker on the dial, with NWC replacing 180 on the dial above 6. Small changes, but makes it quite distinct compared with its brethren.

Powering is the Soprod A10 movement, and to finish it off is mounted to Sarpaneva's fantastic steel bracelet, while also including the OEM Nordic Elk strap as well as an Erika's MN strap.

This particular example was delivered in 2021 and presents in TZ 'Excellent' condition. The bezel shows some swirls, and there's some minor marks on the beveled polished sections of the case. Brushed areas very clean, with only some light strap change marks and some very light rub marks on the left side of the case. Case back shows minor scratches. Please see images for full condition details.

Bracelet shows desk dive marks, and will fit up to a 7.5in wrist. Other straps in excellent condition.

No service history, but a little young for that. Currently keeping time at around +10 seconds a day at 300 degrees of amplitude measured dial-up on a timegrapher.

Comes with S.U.F leather watch pouch, warranty card (expired), OEM Nordic Elk strap and Erika's MN strap.

Don't miss your chance to be one of the few to own this super cool watch from one of the great current watchmakers.
