Designed in collaboration with Mountain Rescue England and Wales, this special edition of Eliot Brown’s classic Canford watch celebrates the quiet heroism of mountain rescue volunteers. With a unique etched case back that depicts the Mountain Rescue emblem and a subtle ghosted logo in the bottom half of the dial, it’s a classy and understated tribute to all MRTs. But the details are more than just cosmetic. This watch is also fitted with a practical synthetic rubber strap as standard, while extra bold hour batons and high-visibility white hands are easy to read in low light. The slender seconds hand is fully luminised, enabling you to check a pulse accurately in poor conditions. The inner timing bezel features an oversized 12h triangular marker with an MREW inspired red outline. Lastly, the face is protected by a sapphire crystal, for ultimate scratch-resistant protection. Also included in the box is a durable black webbing strap with brushed stainless-steel hardware. And the quick-change strap bars make it easy to switch up your look, so can go from a classic steel watch on a wear-with-anything black strap to a hard-as-nails outdoors watch for weekends in the hills
It isn’t easy to carve out a niche in the premium watch industry, where some brands have marketing budgets that run into the tens of millions. But the founders of Elliot Brown knew right from the start what they wanted to build: unique, tough, wearable and extraordinarily capable watches that were made to live up to a standard, not produced down to a price point.
To get there, they pooled all their collective expertise, passions and obsessions. Based in Dorset, Ian Elliot and Alex Brown both live and breathe a coastal, outdoor lifestyle where salt water, sand and mud place huge demands on kit. But with professional backgrounds in horology and materials sciences, they were well placed to imagine and execute the most durable watches on the planet.
That ethos naturally led to collaborations with some of the most demanding users – round-the-world yachtsmen, firefighters, RNLI crews, Mountain Rescue teams and even British military special forces units. These challenges helped the duo to hone the design of each and every Elliot Brown watch to perfection. So, if you want a watch to perform, discreetly but efficiently, day in and day out – there is really no better choice. You can wear an Elliot Brown watch on every adventure, from the everyday to the extraordinary. After all, time is precious. Why waste it?
Elliot Brown design and re-design every component to make watches that are fundamentally fit-for-purpose, minimising or eliminating typical points of failure such as spring bars breaking, straps snapping, or watches leaking - all potentially catastrophic failures.
Any watches damaged in service can be repaired quickly and economically at their in-house workshop in Poole and returned to service with the minimum of disruption.
Not only is their servicing world class, the warranty has no small print. It’s honest, comprehensive, and straightforward. The whole watch is covered for 5 years, not just the movement. The only exclusions are accidental damage, the battery and wear & tear.
