About Ad Astra
Born in the heart of one of the watch-collecting community's heavens, Ad Astra was founded in Italy in 2023, to be more precise, in Turin.
However, the tale unfolds over several years when two brothers embarked on their inaugural venture into buying and reselling vintage watches, with the first being an Omega Constellation. Despite the initial trade not yielding considerable financial success, it kindled a passion that set in motion a chain reaction of events.
After dozens of watches had changed hands, the decision to establish a company was made in 2023. It was time to build something meaningful, taking the next step toward the future.

Each watch is accompanied by a 1-year mechanical warranty, providing coverage for all its components starting from the date of purchase. Furthermore, prior to being showcased for online sale, every watch undergoes a thorough overhaul by our watchmaker, guaranteeing its optimal condition.
