Shinola’s Duck Automatic brings the dive-inspired watch into a 38mm case and adds automatic Miyota movements. The standard versions use the Miyota 9015, while a limited 9085 edition is listed with a longer power reserve. The update also brings new dial textures and a new bracelet, so it is more than a movement change.

What changed from the earlier Duck?

The Duck Automatic measures 38mm across, compared with 40mm for the earlier Duck Sport quartz listing. That two-millimeter reduction changes the case size, but it does not by itself determine how the watch wears: Shinola lists the black 9015 model at 46.32mm lug-to-lug and 11.2mm thick. Shinola’s product page introduces it as “The Duck, now automatic.” Shinola’s black Duck Automatic listing and its Duck Sport listing provide the respective specifications.

The new collection also features dial textures and a bracelet Shinola describes as new for the model. The design remains dive-inspired; the official black 9015 listing specifies a 10 ATM depth rating. That rating is a product specification, not a blanket promise of suitability for every diving activity.

How do the 9015 and 9085 versions differ?

Feature Miyota 9015 models Miyota 9085 limited edition
Stated power reserve Approximately 42 hours, according to Shinola’s product and collection listings Approximately 80 hours, according to Shinola’s collection listing
Edition size Not stated by Shinola’s cited listings 1,000 pieces, as reported by Men’s Journal in 2026
Strap or bracelet details The listed black model has a 20mm quick-release stainless-steel bracelet Men’s Journal reports that the gift set includes an additional gray rubber strap; Shinola describes the rubber-strap option as dive-ready

Both calibers are Miyota movements. Shinola says the watches are designed and assembled in Detroit; that describes the watches’ design and assembly, not the origin of their movements. Shinola’s Duck Automatic collection page describes the movement options and reserves, while Men’s Journal’s October 7, 2026 launch report gives the edition size and gift-set details.
