With the MK5, we went right back to the beginning, completely reworking the case shape and construction to better reflect what we originally set out to create when the MKI launched in 2018.
The 30 ATM case now features a bold box-domed crystal, along with a slimmer case and bezel for a cleaner, more balanced look on the wrist. You’ll also find a range of thoughtful upgrades, including a lume pip, polished ceramic bezel, lug holes, improved brushing and polishing, an on-the-fly adjustment clasp on the bracelet, and brighter, longer-lasting lume.
Alongside the exterior upgrades, we’ve also improved the heart of the watch. The Hudson 38 MK5 now runs on the La Joux-Perret G100 movement, boosting the power reserve to an impressive ~68 hours.
The supple five-link metal bracelet is designed for all-day comfort, with a mix of brushed and polished finishes that give it a refined, sophisticated look.
For the launch of the Hudson 38 MK5, we’ve also upgraded both the butterfly clasp and the end links. The new clasp now features an on-the-fly adjustment clasp, allowing for quick and easy sizing changes without tools. We’ve also introduced solid end links with a quick-release system, making it simple to swap out the bracelet whenever needed.
To maintain the watch’s vintage-inspired proportions, the bracelet tapers from 20mm at the lugs down to 16mm at the clasp.
