Citation preview
Elliot & Brown met in ’93. They worked together
for a number of years until a change in circumstances
lead them in different directions but they remained
great friends.
A chance conversation almost twenty years later grew
into a determination to channel their unique experience
into building a new kind of watch, one that would
suit their lifestyle - durable enough to hold its own in
extremes, but handsome enough to wear every day,
the sort of watch they’d never want to take off.
Their vision is to re-think the art of watch design,
with functional innovations that are as simple as they
are effective, and with beautiful engineering at the heart
of everything.
H O W I T A L L S TA R T E D
Elliot & Brown are outdoors people, living and working
in a natural coastal playground on the edge of Europe’s
largest natural harbour.
It’s their inspiration to build elegantly functional ‘tool’
watches to wear all day, every day, with innovations and
details that don’t shout, but once you know they’re there,
there’s a sense that whoever made it, did so with a depth
of knowledge, passion and craftsmanship.
C U LT U R E
Elegant lines disguise go-anywhere do-anything
credentials. Shock and water resistant with a wealth of
subtle detailing including an internal bezel for everyday
timing duties make it the watch you’ll reach for the most.
A host of strapping and colour options turn the Canford
from elegant dress watch to tactical pilot.

Every component contributes to durability, function,
comfort, longevity or ease of use. Elegant engineering
and arduous testing are the cornerstones of every
‘Elliot Brown’.
44MM CASES
Classic lines, contemporary size.
Forged and precision CNC machined
from solid 316L marine grade stainless.
Finishes include brushing, polishing and
sandblasting with gunmetal or black
PVD options. Designed for any wrist size.
COMFORT CASE BACK
Stamped, machined, sand-blasted,
laser-etched, brushed and polished
surfaces minimise the contact area for
comfort in hot conditions. Bolted down
(not screwed down) to ensure consistent
sealing and perfect compression for
the shock absorbing elastomers to
function correctly.
MOVEMENTS
Fully manufactured in Switzerland
Canford: 5 jewel gold-plated Isaswiss
331-103, 5 year silver oxide power cell
with end of life indicator on seconds
hand.
Bloxworth: 13 jewel gold-plated Ronda
5030D Chronograph – provides tactile
feedback when push buttons are
depressed with sweep-back reset and
split time. 5 year silver oxide power cell.
MOVEMENT SHIELD SYSTEM
Swiss movements are encased within
a floating steel housing, suspended by
special shock absorbing elastomers to
help reduce the effects of vibration
and knocks.
CROWNS AND PUSH BUTTONS
6mm crowns and 5mm pushers
are aggressively knurled so they’re
easy to use even with wet or muddy
fingers. Engraved either with the EB
shield logo or with a triangle on the
Canford to indicate operation of the
internal rotating bezel timer. Crowns
are individually finished with brushed,
polished or PVD coating to complement
every model.
CLOSED CROWN SYSTEM
Every crown and pusher mechanism
contains a unique triple sealing system.
It works in any position to prevent
ingress of water or dust even if the
crown is left in the ‘out’ position.
It eliminates the need to remember to
screw the crown down before contact
with water.
TIMING BEZELS
The Canford has an internal
bi-directional timing bezel operated
via the top crown. The mechanism is
damped for smooth, silent timing duties.
The Bloxworth has a traditional divers
external 120-click uni-directional bezel
with a castellated edge for secure
grip. The coloured, numbered inlay
is precision CNC machined from
aluminium alloy with deeply engraved,
in-filled markings.
CRYSTALS
The Canford Crystal is made from
convex 2.8mm hardened and tempered
mineral crystal. The Bloxworth crystal
is made from flat 3.5mm hardened and
tempered mineral crystal. Both have a
special anti-reflective treatment on the
inner surface for clear visibility in all
light conditions.
We chose hardened and tempered
mineral crystal for it’s superior impact
resistance versus sapphire. We batch
test for impact resistance by dropping
a 17mm steel ball bearing half a metre,
three times onto the same crystal. The
MOD specify mineral crystal for their
issued watches.
LUMINOSITY
All dials and hands are bold and easily
legible in poor light conditions.
We use Superluminova luminous
to infill hands, indices, most 0-20
markers on the Bloxworth bezel and to
infill the engraved shield logo on most
strap clasps.
Superluminova will glow for up
to 8 hours after a full “charge” in
daylight. Please note that coloured
SuperLuminova will exhibit a natural
drop in performance at night due to the
added colour pigment.
INTERCHANGEABLE STRAPPING
All straps are interchangeable,
meaning it’s possible to create many
100’s of individual styles simply by
changing the strap.
LEATHER STRAPS
Cut from premium, oiled, water-resistant
leather and lined with supple nubuck.
All leather straps are fitted for a smooth
transition with the watch case and held
in place with solid steel bars for added
strength.
Single fold deployant clasps are colour-
matched to every watch with a deep
engraved shield logo in-filled with
SuperLuminova to help find your watch
when it’s upside down at night.
3 LINK BRACELETS
Made from 316L Stainless with CNC
machined solid links, solid screw in bars
for adjustment and half-link fine-tuning
using the clasp bars.
Finishes include brushing, polishing and
PVD coatings.
The sturdy CNC machined deployant
clasp features 2 micro extension
positions for use over a summer
or winter wetsuit with the EB
shield engraved and in-filled with
SuperLuminova.
CANVAS STRAPS
Cut from washed canvas with a supple
nubuck lining. ‘Straight’ non-fitted ends
with solid stainless strap bars allow for
smaller wrist sizes.
Single fold deployant clasps are
matched to every watch with a deep
engraved shield logo in-filled with
SuperLuminova.
STRAP DURABILITY TESTING
Test 1: Tension and torsion testing
A 5kg weight is hung from one end of
the strap, the other is held in a clamp
that rotates back and forth 5000 times
creating highly accelerated wear and
tear far in excess of anything that could
be considered “normal use”. Every type
of strap must pass this test with no
signs of wear.
Test 2: Abrasion testing
All leather strap types are subject
to abrasion testing to make sure the
premium oiled leather won’t wear
prematurely. A 1kg block with a
coarse pad is rubbed over the strap
150 times when the strap is dry and
again when wet.
Test 3: Flex testing
Leather and canvas straps are subjected
to a test that repeatedly bends and
stretches the strap 4000 times to make
sure the materials are durable and won’t
crack even when they are well used.
WATER PROTECTION
Screw down crowns are only as good as
the user - they can leak if not screwed
down properly. So we devised a sealing
system that provides 200m of water
resistance, 100% of the time, using
unique triple seals that are incorporated
into every crown and pusher.
Solid stainless case-backs are
bolted down not screwed down
because bolting compresses the seal
perfectly with no risk of damage from
rotational friction.
Every watch is pressure tested
two times in air pressure at
150m/15ATM during construction,
then submerged in a water-filled
pressure vessel and wet pressure
tested to 200m/20ATM for 10 minutes.
Because we test every watch, you can
be confident that “water-resistant”
means what it says.
EXTREME SHOCK TESTING
We batch test beyond ISO1413 using
a 3kg steel pendulum hammer. The
hammer is swung from a specific point
just above the horizontal; it accelerates
under gravity then smashes into the
watch at the bottom of the down-swing.
The force applied at the point of impact
is circa 5000G and the hammer hits the
watch with such force that it has to be
caught in a catch net.
In addition to the technical ISO test,
there’s no substitute for real world
testing, so we also take several watches
from each batch and drop them
repeatedly from over a metre onto a
hardwood block.
BURN TESTING
After assembly, every watch is rotated
through all possible orientations for
24 hours to check for timekeeping
accuracy. Checking the watch in every
possible position shows up difficult-to-
find faults like incorrect hand fitting.
Every watch must pass this test.
PRESENTATION CASE
Every watch is delivered in a dark grey
canvas wrapped box with the Elliot
Brown logo embossed into the padded,
hand stitched top section.
To protect it in transit, the watch is
secured on a branded oval cushion,
with a screwdriver included for easy
self-adjustment of metal bracelets.
WARRANTY
A 12 month warranty covers the whole
watch (not just the movement).
