Based on our go-to original Canford 202-001, this watch is packed with thoughtful details designed to delight for years, not fashion seasons.
The opaline white dial is paired with metallic blue indexes, inspired by traditional blued gunsmithing steel. Together with the brushed and polished case finishes, they catch the light beautifully from every angle.
Bold dagger indexes, inspired by military instrumentation, make the dial clear and easy to read. White Super-LumiNova® glows ice blue for up to eight hours in low light, while the grooved dial centre adds contrast and depth. An oversized date window at 3 o’clock balances neatly against the 9 o’clock index.
The 60-minute inner timing bezel is operated by the upper crown, clicking satisfyingly from marker to marker. Both crowns feature high-grip splines and embossed ends, making them easy to identify and operate.
Solid steel strap bars sit between the 20mm lugs. Borrowed from our military collections, they’re exceptionally strong while making strap changes straightforward.
Inside is the slim, high-performance Miyota 9015 automatic mechanical movement. Made in Japan, it features 24 jewels, a 42-hour power reserve and built-in Parashock protection, enhanced further by our own shock-protection system. It’s visible through the domed sapphire crystal case back.
Triple crown seals, an oversized bolted-down case back seal and sapphire crystal seals help every watch pass our stringent 200m water-pressure test.
A matching navy blue TecTuff® strap completes the watch. Tough enough to be used on steel toe-capped work boots, its hard-wearing finish resists scuffs, abrasion, oil, stains and water, it simply wipes clean.
