Everything you need to know about your TND-761 "The New Deco"
Chapter 1 — Thank You! The Story of The New Deco
Dear Wearer,
You're holding more than a watch. You're holding a tribute — to the people who build, repair, create, and keep moving even when the world isn't watching. The New Deco (TND-761) continues the legacy of the very first JWalker: a watch named for Joseph J. Walker, a father whose quiet strength shaped the world in ways that can't be measured in seconds.
The TND-761 draws from the discipline and geometry of Art Deco design, blending it with modern precision and materials chosen with intention. Every line, every numeral, every surface is meant to honor those who rise each day and walk their own line.
"The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart."
We chose it because it reflects the truth behind every JWalker: meaning isn't found at the summit, it's found in the climb towards the heights.
Thank you for joining us at the beginning of this journey. You are now a part of the story. May this watch mark not just time, but moments of purpose.
Sincerely,
Ryan C. Walker
JWalker Watch Co
MA, BA, Qualified in Submarines
Chapter 2 — Founder's Circle: First Come, First Served
The first 100 supporters of JWalker — the earliest believers — receive a place in the Founder's Circle.
What this means:
- •You receive a unique preorder code tied to your First Edition watch.
- •You get first pick of any new release, colorway, or limited edition.
- •You'll be notified before the general public when new models open for reservation.
- •Your support becomes part of the brand's foundation — a quiet but permanent mark on our history.
The Founder's Circle isn't a club. It's a thank‑you to those who helped build something new from the ground up.
Chapter 3 — Your Movement: Seiko VH31 / VH31B
At the heart of the TND-761 is the Seiko VH31, a sweeping seconds quartz movement chosen because it feels alive and is incredibly reliable.
I'm a firm believer that "disposable" is a mindset. If your watch breaks, I can fix it.
Key Features
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown gently to the time-setting position (this model does not have a screw down crown).
- The seconds hand will stop.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands.
- Push the crown back in to resume the sweep.
Battery Replacement
Use SR920SW only.
Replacement should be done by a professional to maintain water resistance.
First Edition Perk: If you're part of the First Edition, your first battery replacement is on us. Email [email protected]. Shipping must be paid by you, but the maintenance and battery are complimentary.
This movement was chosen because it reflects the JWalker philosophy: precise, resilient, and quietly exceptional.
Chapter 4 — Water Resistance
The TND-761 is rated for 50 ft (approximately 3 ATM) of water resistance.
