Elliot Brown Holton Automatic 101-A12-N18

Prepare to run out of superlatives! Elliot Brown Watches have something not many watch brands can boast; real integrity, a passion for the product that oozes out of every bezel and an almost obsessive attention to detail! They have a collaborative history with many elite military units around the world and have created designs used in uniquely tough environments. And, like those select military groups, their confidence in the quality does not need loudly broadcasting. These watches are out of the ordinary and not your everyday. Take a look at the spec and the evidence. It speaks for itself...you won't need to be told!

The Elliot Brown Holton Automatic 101-A12-N18 is a robust watch, stunning in brushed bronze IP with matching micro adjust bracelet.

This Holton Automatic is something special. A stunning brushed bronze PVD 316L stainless case mounted on the most technical slice of super soft, durable webbing with its low profile patented buckle. Few watches are blessed with this level of natural in-built style yet it's no look at me fancy pants either.

The Brief: capable of prolonged exposure to water and dust, durable, shock resistant, clear visibility day or night,  unidirectional ultra high grip timing bezel operable with a gloved hand, easy strap changes and comfortable strapping options that don't break.

The specification of the bezel gives a perfect insight into the level of detail required for the project to be successful.

A precise 120 click ultra high grip bezel houses a stainless steel insert precisely embossed with hours and minutes indentations then flooded with high grade C3 SuperLuminova. The hobnail outer knurling is slightly higher than the insert to form a high grip surface for trustworthy operation even when using the palm of a wet gloved hand.

Both components are matt bead blasted, hardened to 1200HV (Vickers hardness scale) then a 0.8 micron PVD coating is applied whose hardness matches that of the stainless steel components.
