Elliot Brown Bloxworth | 929-101-B07 Bags & EDC

This black and steel reference is arguably the most classic of all the Bloxworth 3HD models, its inspiration comes from sporting dive watches of the 50’s and 60’s, detailed entirely for today’s demanding audience.

At first glance, the ‘101’ is undoubtedly a handsome watch but look closely, even for just a moment and perfectly considered details begin revealing themselves.

A signature character of the collection is the unique basketweave texture created with part of the Elliot Brown shield subtly embossed into the recessed dial centre, the rubber strap surface and the bolted down compressor case back.

The 316L stainless case is finely brushed with very subtle high polished highlights resulting in just the right amount of ‘pop’ on the wrist. The Bloxworth has a third chamfered surface between the top and side of the case which gives it a more pebble like appearance to reduce the apparent volume of the case lugs. For this 3HD collection the tiny chamfer is polished to tie in beautifully with the polished outer edge of the bezel and classically domed crown at 4H.

This model sits perfectly on any wrist with its 40mm case / 41mm coin edged bezel for secure handling in all conditions yet its crammed full of weapons grade durability.

The shock protected Swiss movement sits in a stainless cage that floats within the durable 316L stainless case. The bezel will look this good for years with a scratch resistant ceramic insert, brightly lumed markers and precise 120 click action. The high grip ‘coin edge’ provides easy handling whilst the triple sealed, screw down crown ensures the movement remains free of moisture and dust even down to 200m (the pressure every one of our watches has been tested to in water before it leaves the factory).

Quick release strap bars are easy to remove (with the tool provided) making strap changes a doddle, they are also unbreakable for a long, hard life in the field.

The finishing touches are the subtle 2mm anti-reflective box sapphire crystal and super compressor bolt down case back who’s seal improves with depth.

Look inside the rubber strap and the delightful detailing continues with hand drawn rope breather lines carefully complimented with vent holes and cut marks to trim the strap down to size into the beautifully detailed split deployant buckle. This strap alone is the result of many 100’s of hours – typical of the in-house attention lavished upon every element of every watch. See the Instructions tab to read how to cut it to size.

It isn’t easy to carve out a niche in the premium watch industry, where some brands have marketing budgets that run into the tens of millions. But the founders of Elliot Brown knew right from the start what they wanted to build: unique, tough, wearable and extraordinarily capable watches that were made to live up to a standard, not produced down to a price point.

To get there, they pooled all their collective expertise, passions and obsessions. Based in Dorset, Ian Elliot and Alex Brown both live and breathe a coastal, outdoor lifestyle where salt water, sand and mud place huge demands on kit. But with professional backgrounds in horology and materials sciences, they were well placed to imagine and execute the most durable watches on the planet.

That ethos naturally led to collaborations with some of the most demanding users – round-the-world yachtsmen, firefighters, RNLI crews, Mountain Rescue teams and even British military special forces units. These challenges helped the duo to hone the design of each and every Elliot Brown watch to perfection. So, if you want a watch to perform, discreetly but efficiently, day in and day out – there is really no better choice. You can wear an Elliot Brown watch on every adventure, from the everyday to the extraordinary. After all, time is precious. Why waste it?
