Beachmaster - our apex mission timing watch has been four years in the making and so original it's been granted a patent.
Named Beachmaster due to its mission timing story based around D-Day landings. Initially imagined in response to a request put to us at a Royal Marines event then honed into the most capable watch we have ever put our names to.
Imagine you’re nine hours out from mission start: simply rotate the split scale inner bezel using the upper crown and set it nine hours in advance of the GMT hand. The GMT hand will travel around the bezel scale, counting down towards H hour (- mission start) and then continue its journey around the second half of the split inner bezel, counting up to a rendezvous at a predetermined time after H hour.
As well as its timing functionality Beachmaster is also an automatic 'caller' GMT automatic with a jumping GMT hand as well as an external ceramic 60 minute uni-directional countdown bezel.
The Founders edition is subtly different to the other Beachmaster models and is more focused on functionality, with an anti reflective matte beadblasted case and bracelet and matte black crowns and bezel.
The hands are military-style 'sword' hands inspired by our Holton range for maximum legibility, and more X1 C3 luminous has been applied to oversize markers for maximum low light performance. The double triangle GMT/timing hand and external bezel marker are highlighted in our signature 'safety orange' which matches our orange straps perfectly.
View the watch at night or in poor visibility and everything changes. High grade X1 BGW9 Superluminova glows blue for mission timing and X1 C3 Superluminova green for normal time checks.
The case back is of course perfectly straight and true because it’s precisely bolted down, compressing the oversized seal perfectly whilst tensioning the movement shock protection system.
In the centre, the Beachmaster wordmark is deeply stamped above the wave NATO amphibious assault symbol. An octagonal frame represents the ‘spatial placement symbol’ from the NATO APP-6(C) Joint Military Symbology manual, used to control the proportions of all NATO battle space signage.
One turn of the high grip upper mission timing crown is all you need to feel our obsessive pursuit of detailed perfection. As the inner bezel moves, spring-loaded ceramic ball bearings click in and out of precisely machined chambers, securing the bezel precisely where required.
Delivered on a metal bracelet with solid links with screw in bars and a ratchet divers buckle in an exclusive Beachmaster case wrapped in dark green bookbinding fabric along with a black basketweave rubber divers strap with folding deployant buckle, tools to remove and adjust the straps, a Beachmaster challenge coin, and a serial numbered card.

Hi Barry, I hope you and your wife had a good holiday. I rather like this watch, it seems honest in its approach, and I can't help feeling that it's absorbed a whiff of Sinn DNA. All it needs is a Top movement to complete the illusion. Thanks for this Barry, and welcome back. LG Bob 🍻

I had a EB Canford when they were just starting out - an absolutely solid watch, but it turned out not to be my style so I eventually sold it on. A lovely company to buy from, the watch even came with a personal note thanking me for the purchase. This is a rather handsome piece, that price does put it up against an awful lot of competitors so I hope they can find their market.

I have reviewed a Canford quartz but it was a bit ago now, I like the sound of the note that’s really nice, I personally would like to see them improve there case design a little as it is somewhat brutal

Generally, I support microbrands (with a slight bias towards UK-based firms), so pleased to see this collection from EB. Had a look at the watches and tip my hat in their direction. Keep up the innovative work. Might get something in the future as a Sinner and Farer afficionado.

With this one they have raised their head above the parapet somewhat , I honestly hope they do well

Imagined in response to a request from a Royal Marines event then finely honed into the most capable watch we have ever put our names to. Aptly named Beachmaster due to its natural mission timing link with the D-Day landings. Im glad to see EB have upped their game, a few years back I was looking at those watches, but they had a rubbish mineral glass scratch magnet, now they use sapphire crystal.

You are right Alan they have stepped up a level or two with this the one, I reviewed one before and it was a simple quartz model but this is a completely different kettle of fish. Would be nice to see them continue do will bit going to be hard, Ive my fingers crossed for them
