The Land Rover x Elliot Brown collection has been created alongside Jaguar Land Rover and takes its inspiration from the Elliot Brown Holton Professional quartz watch, to create the ultimate fit-for-purpose watch for active lifestyles.
The watch has a subtle elements carried over from the new Land Rover Defender, including the hexagonal detailing and the 'squircle' shaped hour markers. Look carefully at the dial and you'll spot orange micro markers at 19 and 48, representing the year the first Land Rover was launched.
Functional elements include a 120-click unidirectional bezel with tactile hobnail knurling hardened to 1200HV Vickers, a triple-sealed screw down crown at 4H, tough 2mm anti-reflective sapphire crystal and solid screw in strap bars for easy strap changes.
The Holton Elliot Brown x Land Rover (A&B) is powered by the Swiss Ronda calibre 715 with a low-battery/end-of-life indicator that prevents the watch from being issued with a low battery. It is housed inside a proprietary shock protection system consisting of a steel housing suspended by elastomer shock absorbers. The projected battery life is approximately 3 years.
The watch comes delivered in a bespoke Land Rover x Elliot Brown recycled EVA zipped case that’s perfect for travel, with built in storage for the strap changing tool
