Story & heritage

Armitron traces its early identity to LED-powered, five-function digital watches, and the current Griffy is presented by the brand as an update of its original genre-defining LED digital watch from the 1970s.

GQ singled out the Griffy as the brand’s splashy retro-futuristic comeback: a reboot of a best-selling LCD/LED-era design with bright numerals and a seventies mood.

Materials & craft

Official Griffy pages describe a 37mm watch with a flashing LED display that rests in black sleep mode until the side button is pressed. The current family is offered in gold, silver and black finishes with red, blue or green display colors.

How to choose & style

Treat the Griffy like a piece of wearable pop technology: the gold-red version is the most archival, while silver-blue or silver-green reads cleaner with denim, nylon outerwear and simple sneakers.
