Wednesday - 14 June 2023
The sleek 44mm gun-metal PVD finish on this 316L marine-grade stainless steel dive watch from Elliot Brown makes the Hoxworth Chronograph a perfect tool for diving and timing.
There are several advantages to be found in the Bloxworth Chronograph watch collection by Elliot Brown. For starters, the watches from this range have a pebble-shaped case allowing them to wear much smaller on the wrist than their 44mm diameters would have you believe. Secondly, the watches are equipped with a 13-jewel quartz movement that enables a battery life of about three years. These rugged companions are “go anywhere do anything” watches that balance style with robustness and longevity. The movement is not just fitted inside any old stainless steel case either. It is secured inside a shock-absorbing steel movement housing, which protects it from damage whilst you take your watch beyond the limits.
These sporty chronograph watches are dive tools with a dynamic and bold twist. Sure to get noticed on the wrist, they are sleek, powerful and incredibly masculine, not to mention blended with some of Elliot Brown’s most cutting edge of technology. Every Elliot Brown Bloxworth Chronograph watch is thoroughly thought-through from start to finish. It makes every watch a companion that will wear well on the wrist and last for many years. And that’s all you need when you’re looking for a hardy outdoor tool. But even if you aren’t looking for a tough watch for pushing boundaries with, the Bloxworth Chronograph range has plenty of options to choose from, especially if you’re just in search of a long-lasting functional wristwatch.
The watches from Elliot Brown’s Bloxworth Chronograph range are made from marine-grade 316L stainless steel and are offered in several case finishes, including a matte black and a bead-blasted gun-metal finish, as well as the more conventional polished and brushed stainless steel. Sapphire crystal glass is fitted to the top of these models, enabling a crisp view of the dial at all times. Experts at Elliot Brown ensure that the dial elements of each Bloxworth Chronograph watch are easily readable. For this purpose, they treat the applied hour markers and hands as well as the 0-60 markings on the bezel with plenty of Super-LumiNova. Deep castellations are provided on the edge of the bezel to accommodate an easy grip, whilst the bezel itself is unidirectionally rotating and can be moved only in the counterclockwise direction to ensure that dive time can never be accidentally extended. The crown and push buttons on Bloxworth Chronograph watches are also nicely knurled for a super grip in harsh conditions. Rather than threaded, the caseback of these watches is bolted down to ensure the best environment for the shock-absorbent housing around the movement.
When you buy a Bloxworth Chronograph watch from Elliot Brown, you know it has been tested beyond its limits. Each watch from this series is pressure tested to 150 meters twice during its development and is placed in a water-filled pressure vessel that is cranked up to 200 meters. There is a micro extending diver feature on each bracelet fitted to the Bloxworth Chronograph design, whilst the rubber bands are an equally popular option for those wanting to fully utilise this watch for water-based activities. Leather canvas and webbing straps are also a good look on the Bloxworth Chronograph watch and can be changed over easily thanks to solid steel screw-in strap bars.
The new Elliot Brown Bloxworth Chronograph 929-002
The subtle detail of this stealthy Bloxworth Chronograph by Elliot Brown grows and grows the more you look at it. Its gun-metal case gives it an overall technical appeal, enhanced all the more by a glossy black ceramic diver’s bezel with pale green Super-LumiNova-treated numerals on the 60-minute diving scale. This bezel is a unidirectional 120-click design that features bold machined grips around its outer edge for facilitating ease of use under heavy gloves or diving gear. The watch is tested to 200-meter water depths and features pale green numerals that match the bezel scale on the hour track of the dial, as well as the central hour and minute hands.
With pause and split timing features, the chronograph function has a sweep back reset function that can be operated easily thanks to more knurling. Underneath its gun-metal PVD finish is a solid marine-grade 316L stainless steel case that holds a quartz movement inside, capable of lasting three years. The Bloxworth Chronograph watch is also certified to ISO2281 standards and is topped with a strong piece of anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass.
As well as triple-sealed and knurled crown and push buttons, the watch also features a bolted-down super compressor caseback with oversize seals that guarantee a safe and dry environment for the movement to operate within. The watch is also shock-resistant to ISO1413 standards, whilst the movement itself is protected inside a steel and elastomer damped shock-absorbing movement holder.
The new Bloxworth Chronograph watch reference 929-002 is finished on a patented Nato style webbing strap with double woven selvedges, a lifetime anti-bac treatment and a secure, lightweight patented clamp buckle to finish.
