Following on from the success of the second annual British Watchmakers Day at the Lindley Hall in London, we are pleased to unveil the latest addition to the collection.
Now available to purchase and immediately available is a 50-piece limited edition in striking Oxblood Red.
This time the watch is fitted with a coral tan colour Minerva Box top-grain calf leather watch strap, produced in a famous tannery in Tuscany, Italy.
The Pioneer has been in continuous production since its launch in 2017 and has always been one of our best-selling models. Building on the legacy of the previous design, the watch features a remodelled three-piece case with polished and brushed details.
The watch has a screw-down crown and case back, drilled through lugs and measures a slim 12.05mm in total case height. Crafted from durable 316L stainless steel, the 41.50mm cushion style case is accentuated with a custom colour insert on the crown, adding a unique flair to this elegant timepiece.
Cleverly designed to wear smaller than its dimensions might suggest, the watch sits comfortably on the wrist while the 47.80mm lug-to-lug distance ensures a balanced fit for any occasion.
Automatic Movement
At the heart of the Pioneer beats the reliable TMI NH38 movement, delivering mechanical precision with every tick. Designed and manufactured by Seiko Instruments, this automatic winding movement offers impressive accuracy, with a deviation of around 20 seconds per day, and is completed by a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. Offered with 10ATM water resistance, this watch is both durable and refined, perfectly suited for everything from boardroom meetings to weekend getaways.
Crystal and Case
Protected by a flat sapphire crystal with a bevelled edge, the dial of the Pioneer is a true spectacle. The subtle, blue-tinted anti-reflective coating on the inside of the crystal ensures readability in any light, allowing the brushed dual-layer dial to shine with sophistication. The dial is adorned with polished indices, illuminated by BGW9 luminous material, providing legibility even in low light.
Brushed Dial
The polished hour and minute hands are also treated with BGW9 for nighttime visibility, while the brushed dial brings a pop of colour and contrast. Encased by a bevelled and polished fixed bezel, the Pioneer exudes a refined balance of sportiness and elegance. Completing the design is a custom-made, premium coral tan colour Minerva Box top-grain calf leather watch strap, offering both comfort and durability. The strap’s fine craftsmanship perfectly complements the watch, ensuring it looks as good on casual days as it does when dressed up for formal occasions.
