Don’t be fooled by the handsome lines of this watch though. Every ounce of its exquisite detailing is engineered to excel in the harshest environments with ‘EB’ weapons grade DNA fully intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s elegant simplicity in abundance yet glancing at the spec list is all you need to know that this is a fit-for-purpose workhorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox profile, toughened, anti-reflective sapphire crystal is perfectly framed by a precision engineered ceramic bezel with the clearest markings. A finely polished steel highlight blends into vertically machined splines of the coin-edged bezel, sitting proud of the watch case just enough for perfect handling even with a gloved hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of the Bloxworth Heritage Diver collection, this model enjoyed two years of attention from the founders who gradually honed into the watch you see here. At 40mm diameter it’s designed for any wrist size, as is the rubber strap with beautifully detailed split buckle deployant mechanism and internal rope breather lines from our harbour-side headquarters.

We also smash a number of watches from every batch with a 3kg stainless steel pendulum mallet to ensure the movement shock protection system is fully operational. That’s an impact force of circa 500G in case you were wondering. This level of testing is by no means mandatory but it does mean you can have complete confidence, backed up by a no nonsense 5 year warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpec\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual layer orange sandwich dial with polished minutes track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic non scratch uni-directional 120 click timing bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinely brushed stainless steel case with high polished elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomed ‘Box’ anti-reflective sapphire crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature basket weave textures for dial and compressor case back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss made Ronda 713 quartz movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine grade stainless steel case, bezel and strap bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh contrast SuperLuminova numerals coloured in a bespoke Purbeck stone, with matching hands and batons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40mm case \/ 41mm bezel with high lume ceramic insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomed screw down crown at 4 o’clock with triple seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal movement shock protection system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% tested at 200m in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnbreakable easy change strap bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble folding deployant buckle on bespoke Tropic style divers rubber strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand signed Founders commemorative insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9H-3H - 41mm excluding crown and push-buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12H-6H - 50mm max to tip of case shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaximum thickness - 12.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrap width - 22mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch like a metal bracelet that starts off at its longest, your rubber strap starts long and is designed to be adjusted to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow yourself plenty of time, and try your watch and strap on your wrist before you start cutting to work out how much to shorten the strap by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving looked at the strap length on your wrist, if you need to shorten the strap, take the watch off, place it on a soft surface and remove one strap end from the buckle using the pointed tool (included) to push into the holes in the sides of the buckle to release the spring bar. Be careful not to lose the spring bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a sharp knife or scissors, carefully cut just\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esection from the free end, cutting neatly and carefully along the centre of the first guide groove on the inner surface of the strap at the end nearest the buckle. Don't be tempted to cut two sections at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow refit the strap end back into the buckle depressing the spring bar to locate into the hole position nearest the centre join of the buckle.
