3 Watch Collection: British Edition
Despite what you might have been told, His Royal Highness, builder’s tea, Big Ben, and Boris Johnson’s hair aren’t the only British things worth knowing about. Here’s a three-watch collection of British-made timepieces that keep a stiff upper lip.
Bremont Supermarine Ocean (Sport watch) - With subtle Seiko design cues and multi-colored lume, this limited Bremont diver has GMT functionality, 30-bar water resistance, and a seriously cool grey metal dial. Perfectly-executed and bold as a 40mm can be, one of these 400 could be yours for about $4,900.
Garrick S6 (Dress watch) - Built in Norwich and famous far outside of it, Garrick is known for intricate dial finishes and bespoke British stylings. The pared-back-yet-suave S6 is no exception, imbued with a sense of old gentlemanly swagger than can be found in very few timepieces, especially for $8,655.
AnOrdain Model 1 (Everyday watch) - At 38mm across and 11mm thick, the Model 1 hits the mark squarely for daily wear. It’s a simple watch but don’t let that fool you. Running on your choice of either Sellita ($2,255) or La Joux Perret ($2,650), this Scottish ticker is very well-built and at home on virtually any wrist.
Total Collection Cost (USD): $16,205
