Elliot Brown Holton: Land Rover x Elliot Brown (A&B) Watch

The Holton Land Rover Professional Watch - Black EPDM Rubber Strap

Based on Elliot Browns' best selling Holton Professional quartz watch, the Land Rover x Elliot Brown Holton was created alongside Jaguar Land Rover design personnel to become the perfect fit-for-purpose watch for active lifestyles.

Unusually for the industry, EB test every single watch in water at a depth of at least 200m which is deeper than any human will ever dive. The Holton Professional has also passed stringent military evaluation, thriving in unimaginably harsh conditions.

The finer details of this model really shine through the closer you get to it, with numerous design touches carried over from the new Land Rover Defender including the hexagonal detailing and the 'squircle' shaped hour markers. Look carefully at the dial and you'll spot orange micro markers at 19 and 48, significant because it was the year the first Land Rover was launched.

Gunmetal PVD with a hardness of 1200HV is generously applied to the 316L stainless steel case. Inside there's a stainless movement housing, suspended via elastomers for immense shock protection, while on the outside the easy grip timing bezel is fitted with a hardened steel insert with clear 0-60 markings.

Delivered in a bespoke recycled EVA travel/storage case with an additional black and orange anti-bacterial webbing strap and a screwdriver that is made to fit the solid stainless screw-in retaining bars that hold the straps.

All EB Watch straps have a uniform width of 22mm. Because of this you can interchangeably custom fit any EB strap to any EB watch case. To find out more about Elliot Brown's Straps see EB Straps - Sizing & Fitting Guide.   

Comes with a driver tool that is made to fit the solid stainless screw-in retaining bars that hold the straps. Click the link for Care & Maintenance of your Elliot Brown watch.

Please Note: This bezel is unapologetically fit for purpose. Please be aware it can catch or wear shirt cuffs etc.

Elliot Brown Holton Watch - Land Rover x Elliot Brown

Bezel
High grip, uni-directional divers bezel case hardened to 1200HV Vickers hardness with matte PVD coating whose hardness matches that of the hardened bezel. Highly resistant to marking and provides an outer layer of protection for the watch. The high grip texture enables the bezel to be turned by gripping the sides or pressing downwards and the fine hobnail pattern ensures the bezel can't be caught on anything, turning it accidentally.

Dial
Easy to read at a glance day or night with a military bearing. The hour markers are bold C3-coated parallelograms reminiscent of 1970s military dive watches, brought up to date with Elliot Brown's trademark 12-3-6-9 cardinal graphics, with a white triangle at 12H to help orientate the watch when it’s dark.

Case
316L stainless, anti reflective gunmetal PVD, treated with an anti-fingerprint coating that naturally repels mud and grime. PVD thickness 0.8 microns so it wears beautifully for years - the maximum possible thickness without loss of definition on case detailing (approx twice the industry standard thickness). Every watch is individually pressure tested to 200m at several points during production

Strap
Fitted with EB's bespoke standard length rubber strap with pin buckle. Comes with an additional black and orange anti-bacterial webbing strap fitted with EB's patented buckle and a easy strap change driver tool that locks into the ends of the solid strap bars for quick strap changes even whilst out in the bush.

Caseback
The deeply detailed caseback features the Land Rover oval in the centre, superimposed over contour lines traced from Tyneham Cap on Dorset's Jurassic Coast, including spot heights above sea level. The caseback is securely bolted down ensuring the Land Rover mark is always perfectly horizontal (unlike many case backs that screw onto the watch case).

Movement
Swiss-made 13-jewel chronograph movement with a 3 year battery life inside a shock-absorbing steel movement housing.

Crystal
Bevelled 2mm sapphire crystal is treated to an anti-reflective coating for perfect visibility in all conditions and sits in a triple-sealed screw-down crown recessed into the stainless steel case to ensure it is kept out of harm's way. It’s mounted fractionally below the hardened bezel to minimise the chance of the edge becoming chipped, with a matching black sealing ring. To pass QC, every crystal must be capable of withstanding an impact applied 3 times by a 17mm steel ball dropped from 0.5m.
