J Dilla's Hands Made Music.

Our Hands Made This.

A fitting tribute to the pioneer of a new time-feel. Shinola is honored to present the J Dilla Great American Series Runwell Chronograph, a timepiece meticulously designed and crafted to pay homage to the most influential music-maker and hip-hop producer of all time.

Meticulously Designed, Assembled and Tested in the USA.

Limited to 500 pieces, this Runwell Chronograph features a cassette tape-inspired window that exposes the transparent chronograph eye discs and movement inside. The multi-layer dial, colored, accents, and gold indexes with custom casebook have each been customized with a Dilla Time graphic treatment, reflecting his groundbreaking rhythmic sensibility. This timepiece is completed with an '8 Bar' embossed navy leather strap with a purple lining.

A tribute to the man who remixed time itself.

Shinola is proud to honor J Dilla, our next Great American, with two new timepieces celebrating his legacy as a hip-hop legend and Detroit native.
