We have reviewed two VanBanner watches in the past–the LEA (due for production in 2022) and the original Parkingmaster, which sadly failed to reach its funding goals. However, this did not stop LV from returning to the drawing board for the Parkingmaster 2.0. What I considered to be a fun value proposition in the original Parkingmaster has finally come to fruition in a slightly different, somewhat improved, iteration.

The Parkingmaster 2.0–so-called because of its countdown bezel useful for monitoring your parking meter–is a tough and rugged toolwatch, boasting 200m of water resistance. Its case is 40mm in diameter, with a slightly larger bezel–coming in at 41mm. It measures 48mm lug to lug, and is 14mm thick. The case has circular brushing along the top and vertical brushing along the sides. In shape, it is a long, contemporary interpretation of the skin diver. There is no beveling or chamfering anywhere. The watch is all straight lines and broad planes. The lugs are conveniently drilled.

The caseback–also circularly brushed–has a sapphire window through which you can view the workhorse Miyota 9039 (though this is partially obscured by red branded printing). The bezel is a solid coin-edged affair that appears to be bead-blasted. It is 120-clicks and uni-directional. The large crown is nicely machined and interestingly positioned at the 3:30 mark. It is screwed down and lumed in red.
