From the deployant rubber strap buckle, the subtle box sapphire crystal, lozenge-smooth ceramic bezel insert, to the highly polished case details that provide so much of this model’s character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA chalky, inky, deep ocean blue isn’t an easy colour to pull off; not too bright, not too dark, a unique colour specifically created for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two layer sandwich dial suits the blue hue so well, highlighting the embossed basket weave signature texture adorning the recessed centre and softened with local Purbeck stone colour luminescent hour batons and hands, framed in brushed matt silver that glow brightly when visibility reduces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique basket weave texture was created from elements from the EB shield, it also adorns the outer surface of the textured rubber strap and surrounds the raised shield emblem within the deeply detailed case back. It provides much of the classic character this watch delivers so well, whilst remaining perfectly current for today’s demanding audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40mm case diameter (41mm bezel) this is one of our smaller watches yet wears easily over a wetsuit or dressed for an evening out. Being based on the edge of Europe’s largest natural harbour with its strong maritime links, this model is an instant HQ favourite.

That’s why we build in a shock protection system for the Swiss movement, created triple seals for the crown stem, indestructible strap bars that are a cinch to change, we only use the best, most durable materials, test every watch in water at 200m and can repair and fettle them for life long after the 5 year warranty expires so you never need to worry.
