Nice watch buddy. n nice review too. sadly I dont own any Elliot Brown watch. its looks beautiful n elegant. I might get one soon. probably the one who had reviewed above
I’m lucky enough to own one of two prototypes of this watch, the only difference being that it is the whole case that has bern hardened, not just the bezel.
It takes a huge amount of abuse from me and it is still as good as new, even when i accidentally wacked it adainst a sandstone wall when swinging my arm (glancing blows are always a risk for wearers of spectacles.)
EB last year have started making watches for the British special forces. Their Holton quartz watch was designed in consultation with the Special Boat Service, from whom the USNavy was inspired to create the Seals. You can buy the exact military watch for about £400 ($580ish) complete with it’s UK Crown ‘broadarrow’ brand, which has been used to identify crown property and patricularly military property since 1500. It’s why convicts in cartoons have arrows on their overalls. The watch also has a NATO issue number, the first from a uk watch maker for 30 years. As is always the case with British Special forces, there’s a great deal of secrecy here, and neither EB nor the Ministry of Defence will confirm the identity of the unit supplied, just ‘a unit of the British military ‘. However, reading the specs of the watch (bezel can be easily turned with freezing hands or kayak or wet suit gloves, ) and the fact EB said it was designed with a local unit which had bern using private EB Canfords to date, and EB are based at Poole Harbour, Dorset, England then its safe to say it’s the SBS who are also based at Poole Harbour and the marketing photos appear to show the waterfront of the base.
I prefer automatic or manual watches but I will buy interesting quartz watches like the Bulova Moon watch. This one is next on the list.
