Shaw is an Indian independent watch brand operating under Agash Ventures, based in Delhi. The brand’s journey began in 2023, originally starting as ShawStraps, a small venture focused on providing high-quality watch straps. In early 2026, the company transitioned into creating its own timepieces, evolving into a dedicated watch brand while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship and functional design.
Collectors are often drawn to Shaw for its value-driven approach, offering professional-grade specifications at an accessible price point. The watches are recognized for their robust construction, typically featuring surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and significant water resistance of up to 200 meters. Additionally, the brand is noted for its thoughtful design language, which often includes minimal typography and compact, “wrist-hugging” proportions that serve as “strap monsters” for versatile styling.
The brand’s catalog is headlined by several key pieces: – Manta Quartz: The debut model, this 38mm dive-style watch is inspired by retro skin divers. It features a slim 9.5mm profile, a Swiss Ronda 713 quartz movement, and ocean-inspired dial colors like Atoll Aqua Blue and Tropical Reef Green.
– Manta Automatic: A bold evolution of the original diver, this model transitions the platform into a mechanical tool watch powered by the Seiko TMI NH35 automatic movement. It includes variants like the “Red Hour,” which features a deep red dial and high-contrast yellow seconds hand.
– Spirit: An automatic field watch known for its unique anthracite rock-textured sandwich dial. It utilizes the same reliable Japanese automatic movement and features intense green lume for high legibility.
