Briston HMS date watch – black/khaki with Italian polished acetate (tortoise shell) case
Briston fits my wrist to perfection – and looks great!
Luminous infill seems just fine, for a dress watch.
Seamless case/acetate fit shows high quality finish
Clubmaster screw back shows Swiss Design & perfect fit
I particularly like this colour combination of the polished stainless steel bezel, lugs and back, framed by the brown lustrous tortoise acetate and all against the khaki colour of the strap – just does it for me.
Receiving the watch was actually a nice experience, if I can say that, as the box has a soft touch white finish and opened with the little red ribbon pull, reveals the watch elegantly presented on a broad mounting pad. Also inside is the Instruction Booklet in French and English with the 2yr Guarantee incorporated on the back page.
Briston box is also an elegant affair without being pretentious
Yes! in fact VERY pleased and delighted with this purchase – it is certainly one of the sweetest watch models I've seen for years! In fact a breath of fresh air from a new Watch Company just has to be good!
For wearing it's equally as good as a dress watch or as a daily. It costs around £130 in the UK (HERE) from Twisted Time and for me, the use of that perfectly finished and shaped acetate, is an absolute design triumph and the overall concept is arguably well above it's price point.
I have to assume the chronograph versions are every bit as good and I'm sorely tempted already – maybe a new collection starting?
Note – The Briston Clubmaster Chronograph model is also available from Twisted Time here in the UK. Whilst it uses the same design concept and a similar quality of movement (Miyota OS21 Chronograph quartz), I would maybe question it as regards value for money, as the cheapest version is more expensive at around £200 (other versions more).
Now they are nice, of that there is no question, but whereas my date version is in my opinion really good value, I'm not quite so sure the same can be said of the Chrono. The same colour scheme as my Date model for example is £215. bekijk meer Horloges nep en chopard luc
