On this side of the Atlantic, Elliot Brown is one of the best-kept secrets in the exploding British watchmaking industry.
The tool watch specialists make affordable, pragmatic designs with a heavy vintage military influence. A cursory scroll through its catalog reveals plenty of black, navy blue and a range of earth tones.
But a vibrant new collection of dive watches has just blown in like a cool ocean breeze on a hot summer day.
Elliot Brown’s signature dive watch, the Bloxworth Heritage Diver, has been refreshed with eye-catching colors indicative of 1970s dive watches, and a dial pulled straight from the late 1950s.

Dubbed the Chromatic Collection, it consists of four new color combinations, each available on a complementary tropical rubber strap or a brushed steel three-link bracelet.
The resolutely pragmatic watch brand has equipped the collection with a quartz movement because of its unquestionably superior timekeeping efficiency.
