Seasonal Picks

A diver in the fullest sense. A black lacquered dial with Wolbrook's signature arrow hour hand, white BGW9 Super-LumiNova® on every hand and index plus a luminescent pearl at 12. Under a glass-box sapphire crystal, inside a 316L steel case with HexapleX® shock architecture and a 120-click unidirectional steel bezel, water-resistant to 200 m. Driven by the Miyota 9015 automatic. The first 949 pieces — a tribute to Wolbrook's 1949 foundation — carry an individually numbered caseback, deep enamel-filled with the motto THE PROOF IS IN THE DIVING and two narwhals. On the military green Tropic rubber strap.

Veloce — Italian for fast. A red panda dial on the GranTurismo Chronograph 39 platform: the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz pairing quartz accuracy with a mechanical chronograph module — true sweeping chrono hand, instant flyback reset. 39 mm of 316L steel under domed sapphire, water-resistant to 100 m, on Naga's hand-finished integrated snake-scale bracelet with hidden butterfly deployant.

Named after the stone, not made from it — a bright golden sunburst dial that catches light the way tiger's eye does, without the weight or the price of a mineral dial. Printed black baton indices, a doubled marker at 12, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6. No date. Swiss Ronda 1069 quartz under double-domed mineral glass, with a caseback engraved like a ducat from the Rundeskatten.

Born between sea and sky. This Aéro-Club de France Special Edition carries the club's emblem and C3 Super-LumiNova® across a deep blue dial, with a rotating bezel marked for world-city time zones. Cased in 316L steel with Wolbrook's HexapleX® shock architecture, water-resistant to 150 m, the automatic movement assembled in France — presented here on the blue Tropic NBR rubber strap: oil-resistant, water-resistant, ocean-ready. An officially authorised Aéro-Club de France piece.

Datejust 36 – Cherry Red Fumée

A cherry red fumée dial that burns bright at the centre and falls to near-black at the rim. Sunray-finished, so the red moves — glossy and sweet in direct light, deep and sober in shadow. Indian-Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9. Housed in a 36 mm stainless steel case with a fluted bezel and classic proportions. Limited to just 25 pieces.

Limited Edition: 25 Pieces

The spirit of the lifeboat URÆD — courage, patience, and a restless ocean. A deep blue dial with "liquid metal" finishing on the case flanks and bezel edge. Swiss Sellita SW 330-2 automatic with GMT, 56-hour power reserve, sapphire glass with five-layer anti-reflective coating. The First Edition — limited to 100 individually numbered pieces. A watch for those undeterred by distance.

Every William Wood carries a real firefighting past. The case is CuSn8 bronze that shifts colour and texture as you wear it, the crown is struck from a British brass helmet over a century old, and the strap is fire hose that served real fires before returning to life on a wrist.

Against that warmth sits a deep burgundy dial, ringed by a chequered seconds track taken from the flank of a vintage British fire engine. The seconds hand nods to the chime of an old fire bell at one end and the head of a firefighter's axe at the other.

A friend of Smiths, Ali Bin Hussain, called it The Red Head. The name stayed.
