Founded in 1991 by Wing Liang, Aragon (formerly known as Android) is an American watch brand based in the United States. The brand established its identity in the microbrand space by offering bold, oversized timepieces with distinctive design choices.
Enthusiasts are drawn to Aragon for its strong focus on value, substantial build quality, and specialized illumination technologies. The brand is widely known for incorporating high-level lume options into its designs, including T-100 tritium gas tubes, full-dial luminescent finishes, and three-dimensional lume blocks. Additionally, many models feature reliable automatic movements, such as the Seiko NH35 caliber, and premium case materials like bronze and stainless steel, while maintaining accessible price points.
Key timepieces in Aragon’s catalog include the Hercules collection, which features bold dive designs available in materials like bronze, and the Parma line, known for its T-100 tritium tube markers. Other notable models include the DiveMaster series—encompassing variations such as the DM40 GMT and DM42—and the Hiro 3D, which highlights the brand’s experimental approach to dial luminescence.
