Materials
Type 316L Stainless Steel
With its extra-low carbon content and added Molybdenum, type 316L stainless steel is incredibly strong and extremely resistant to corrosion from seawater or acidic liquids.
It’s also magnetic resistant, unlike the general-use stainless steel grade of 201 or 304L.
We select 316L as the choice of material to provide affordable, microbrand tool watches without ever having to compromise on quality.
Every watch is built with British and imported parts and assembled in our workshop.

Packaging
Recyclable, Renewable, Reusable, Biodegradable & Sustainable
The innovative cardboard packaging has been engineered as a lightweight solution to reduce wasteful distribution.

We endeavour to use recycled stock at every possible opportunity.
Our well-designed ‘right sized’ solution provides maximum protection with minimal use of material to eliminate waste, as well as reducing storage & transportation costs.
The inherent beauty of this repurposed material is adorned by our own exclusive artwork.
