The Heritage, made for every day.

The Riley Heritage returns with the same vintage-inspired dial designs and distinctive 1950s character, now powered by an exceptionally dependable Japanese Miyota quartz movement.

The result is the slimmest, easiest-wearing Heritage we’ve made — just 9.65mm thick, accurate, reliable and ready to wear whenever you pick it up.

And because you’re not paying extra for an automatic movement, we can offer it at a lower price without compromising the part you actually see: the watch itself.

Same Heritage. Slimmer Watch.

The appeal of the Heritage has always been its design.

Its warm colours, railway-style minute track, beautifully proportioned numerals and understated 1950s influence remain at the heart of the watch. The new quartz edition retains that character while allowing us to reduce the case thickness and create a noticeably sleeker watch on the wrist.

At 40mm across and only 9.65mm thick, it slips easily under a cuff and feels lighter and less bulky than its automatic predecessor.

Inside is the Japanese Miyota 2315 quartz movement — a proven, accurate and low-maintenance movement designed to simply get on with the job.

Why Quartz?

There’s a reason quartz transformed watchmaking.

It is more accurate than a traditional mechanical movement, requires less maintenance and means you can leave your Heritage for a few days — or a few weeks — and pick it up again without having to reset and wind it.

It also allows us to make the Heritage substantially slimmer.

So if your priority is the design, quality and character of the watch rather than watching a mechanical rotor turn through the caseback, this is arguably the most usable Heritage we’ve ever made.

Same Riley design. Sapphire crystal. Japanese movement. A slimmer case. Greater accuracy. Lower price.

That feels like a pretty good trade.

Vintage Character Without the Fuss

The Heritage was designed to capture something we love about watches from the middle of the twentieth century: they were elegant, colourful and — importantly — wearable.

Moving to quartz lets this version get closer to that philosophy.

At less than 10mm thick, it has the proportions of a genuinely slim everyday watch while retaining the 40mm presence and unmistakable dial of the original Heritage.

Dress it up. Wear it with jeans. Leave it on the bedside table for a fortnight and pick it straight back up.

The Heritage is still the Heritage. It’s just easier to live with.

The Riley Assurance

Every Heritage is built and shipped from the UK and includes our 30-day hassle-free return policy.

For customers in the United States, Riley prepays the applicable import tariff, so the price you pay at checkout is the price you pay for the watch — with no unexpected tariff bill when it arrives.
