Strap:Gunmetal Grey Textured Rubber
Full Description

The Beachmaster® Automatic is a unique watch, bristling with patented mission timing capabilities that remain hidden in plain sight until needed. Powered by the Swiss Sellita SW330-2 GMT movement and protected by our advanced shock protection system, every watch is pressure tested to 300m, far beyond human limits.

Beachmaster is the first watch of its kind to be granted a patent since the Rolex® GMT-Master of the 1950s. A genuine horological milestone, built with purpose behind every detail.

Designed around the demands of amphibious military operations, Beachmaster can count down 12 hours to a mission or event, then time a further 12 hours after launch, unlocking a full 24 hours of analogue timing capability where most watches stop at 60 minutes.

For everyday use, it’s equally capable of tracking tides, timing separate events with the 60-minute dive bezel, and displaying a second time zone for travel or work across the world.

The patented 24-hour timing bezel is set instantly via the upper crown, referencing the second arrow of the GMT hand for intuitive operation. Spring-loaded ceramic ball bearings deliver precise, tactile clicks that reveal the obsessive engineering behind the design.

The dual-arrow GMT hand performs two functions at a glance: the inner arrow tracks a second time zone, while the outer references the 24-hour timing bezel around the dial edge. For further information on using the Mission Timer, see the video below.

Legibility is instant, day or night. Green X1 Super-LumiNova highlights daily time functions, while blue lume separates all mission timing functions in low visibility.

Originally conceived around the D-Day landings, Beachmaster pays homage to the remarkable operators responsible for planning and directing amphibious assaults under fire. Their ability to maintain order, precision and momentum in the most demanding conditions inspired every aspect of the watch.

Hidden throughout the design are details inspired by NATO battlespace iconography. The repeating wave motif on the dial and case back is the NATO symbol for an amphibious assault, while the octagonal case back frame references the spatial placement symbols used in NATO APP-6(C) military symbology.

A watch with this much functionality has no right to look this good. Obsessive, functional design isn’t just in our DNA, it is our DNA, and Beachmaster is no exception. Every element is engineered for instant legibility, day or night, using carefully balanced layers, contrast and visual weight.

Instructions

Use in water:
Ensure your crown is firmly screwed down before use in water. Please note that use in water with the crown unscrewed will void your warranty.
When used in salt water, give your watch a good rinse in fresh water turning the bezel to rinse salt from under it.

Second Time Zone:
To set the GMT hand to a different time zone, unscrew the lower crown, gently pull until it clicks to the first position, rotate clockwise. The GMT hand will advance in half hour segments aligned with the current time. Use the inner 24-hour track to set the GMT hand to your chosen time zone.

Mission Timing:
To count down to an event up to 12 hours in the future:
Align ‘H’ on the internal timing bezel to the time that the event starts.
The number of hours until the event starts can be read directly off the scale on the inner bezel in conjunction with the tip of the 24-hour hand.

The mission timing function can be used no matter where the 24-hour hand is set to.

Once the 24-Hour hand has reached H, it will automatically count up the other side of the scale to an event in the future, for example to rendezvous a set number of hours after mission start.

To count up from an event:
Align the ‘H’ on the internal rotating bezel to the time that the event starts.
The number of hours since the event has started can be read directly off the scale on the inner bezel in conjunction with the tip of the 24-hour hand.

To count down to an event up to 60 minutes in the future:
Align the triangle on the external rotating bezel to the minute that the event starts.
The number of minutes until the event starts can be read directly off the scale on the outer bezel in conjunction with the minutes hand.
