Elliot Brown Beachmaster: A Mission-Ready Timepiece

Elliot Brown, the British watchmaker renowned for crafting robust and purpose-built timepieces, presents the Beachmaster – a watch designed to tackle any mission, whether it’s at sea or on land. Inspired by the Normandy Landings and born from a request by Royal Marines for a simple mission timer, the Beachmaster embodies the brand’s commitment to creating wearable, affordable, and exceptionally tough watches.

The Beachmaster isn’t just about ruggedness; it’s about intelligent design. The 40mm stainless steel case, boasting an impressive 300m of water resistance, provides a solid foundation for the watch’s intricate functionality. The dial is ingeniously divided into two distinct sections. An outer sunray-finished track displays the hours and minutes, while an inner 24-hour track, accented with an “amphibious assault” wave pattern, adds a touch of nautical flair.

The Beachmaster’s signature feature is its mission timer, cleverly integrated into the rotating inner bezel. This allows users to track both the lead-up to a designated time (H-Hour) and the elapsed time following it. The independently adjustable 24-hour hand corresponds with the internal 24-hour scale, offering a clear and intuitive way to track a second time zone.

The Beachmaster is available in two distinct variants, both housed in dark grey sandblasted PVD cases. The “Blackout” model exudes a stealthy, tactical aesthetic with its fully blacked-out case, dial, and hands. The “Ghost” version offers a striking contrast with its light stone dial and hands, complemented by dark grey lume for enhanced visibility. Both variants are paired with a comfortable and durable Tropic-style rubber strap, perfect for any adventure.

Powering the Beachmaster is a Swiss-made Ronda 515.24H quartz movement. This reliable movement features an independently adjustable 24-hour hand, hacking functionality, and an accuracy of -10/+20 seconds per month. With a battery life of approximately 45 months, the Beachmaster is a dependable companion, ready for action whenever you are.

Elliot Brown’s dedication to creating exceptionally capable watches is evident in every detail of the Beachmaster. From the robust case construction to the thoughtfully designed dial and the reliable Swiss movement, this watch is built to withstand the toughest environments. It’s no surprise that Elliot Brown watches have found their way onto the wrists of military personnel, first responders, extreme athletes, and adventurers around the globe.

The Beachmaster is more than just a watch; it’s a tool, a companion, and a testament to the spirit of adventure. It’s a watch that’s ready for anything, just like the individuals who wear it. It’s a watch that embodies the Elliot Brown ethos: tough, wearable, affordable, and fit for any purpose.
