The second release of our "Deep in the Heart" collection has arrived. The Gonzales pays tribute to the defiance of 1835, featuring the historic "Come and Take It" cannon front and center against a crisp white linen dial.

Featuring a white linen dial encased in a striking black steel border, the design mirrors the textures of the 'Come and Take It' flag. This combination honors the original banner hoisted above the cannon, bringing the spirit of Texan independence to your wrist.

Batch 2 is estimated to ship mid-October
