Elliot Brown | Bloxworth Gunmetal 3HD | 929-102-R51G

Elliot Brown Bloxworth Gunmetal 3HD Diver Watch

Inspired by classic sports watches from the 50’s and 60’s, the Elliot Brown Bloxworth Gunmetal 3 Hand (3HD), is as tough as it is smart. In typical Elliot Brown fashion, this new model has been honed over the last two years by the brand’s founders Ian Elliot and Alex Brown. With a black dial and matching strap, this watch demands attention. However, the appeal is much more than aesthetic. Just a glance at the spec reveals the level of punishment that this watch can withstand.

Gunmetal Case, Ceramic Bezel, Caseback, Dial

Firstly, the 40mm case is perfectly proportioned to suit all wrist sizes. Made from gunmetal Marine-grade stainless steel, high polished elements add contrast. Secondly, the uni-directional timing bezel has a ceramic insert with high lume for maximum visibility. Also, deep castellations around the bezel ensure excellent grip even with a gloved hand.

The compressor caseback ensures a perfect seal and every watch is individually pressure tested twice during construction, then placed in a water-filled pressure vessel and tested again.

Furthermore, the black ‘sandwich’ dial has high contrast SuperLuminova numerals coloured in a bespoke Purbeck stone, with matching hands and batons (view Orange dial version here).

Movement

The Bloxworth Gunmetal 3HD has a Swiss Ronda quartz movement. Also, the movement sits inside the brand’s proprietory shock-absorbing steel movement housing.

Bloxworth: Black Strap

Finally, a black tropic-style rubber strap with split deployant clasp secures the watch to the wrist. The strap has a signature basket-weave pattern. On the reverse, internal rope breather lines from the brand’s harbourside HQ add comfort. Read our Guide to sizing the rubber strap here. However, if a bracelet or webbing strap also take your fancy, all Elliot Brown 22mm straps will fit this watch. With a handy screwdriver included with the watch, it’s incredibly easy to change the strap yourself. The strap fixing bars simply screw into the case with no flimsy spring bars to contend with.
