This watch is an interpretation of Elliot Browns classic 929-001, in a revised case, plated in a warm tungsten-coloured PVD that's a wonderful alternative to brushed and polished steel. Nowhere near as dark as gunmetal grey, and just a hint darker than brushed and polished stainless, it's a case finish that stands out, in a very subtle way.
Elliot Brown don't usually 'do' contrasting dials, but on this model, they thought they'd make an exception and designed a gloss black main dial with sub-dials that match the case, creating their first 'reverse Panda' dial. Finishing it off are chromed hands and applied indexes filled with crisp white SuperLuminova that glows blue.
On a wonderful Elliot Brown rubber strap, it works brilliantly. Looks smart enough to wear when you're suited and booted, but dresses down beautifully for the weekends.
