Case Measurements:

The case measures 41mm in diameter, with a 15mm thickness (15.5mm including glass) and a lug width of 20mm. The watch wears as a medium size on an average wrist as it showcases a raised double domed sapphire crystal glass.

Lug to Lug:

The lug to lug measurement is 49mm. This is an important measurement from the top of the north lug to the bottom of the south lug, allowing you to know how much real estate the watch will take up on your wrist.

Case Execution:

Our case is finished in 316L grade stainless steel with the sides and lugs executed with a brushed finish. Our aluminium bezel is unidirectional with a strong setting to each click. The caseback engravings such as our limited edition or authenticity markings are applied through laser engraving.

Movement:

Seiko Group (also known as Time Module) NH35 Automatic Movement with a power reserve of up to 41 hours, 24 jewels accuracy and 21,600 beats per hour. Seiko timekeeping tolerances for the NH35 movement is -20 seconds per day to +40 seconds per day. This durable movement has been produced by Seiko Group for decades and is known as the workhorse in the watch industry. For full power reserve Seiko suggests winding the crown 55 times before use.

Dial Execution:

The dial has a matte coloured red and white finish with applied indices inspired by the locking wheel nuts from an Australian fire engine. Running through the centre of the dial and bezel are the UV yellow checkered markings from the side of an Australian fire engine. The dial and hands are curved creating a subtle optical illusion when looking through the side of the double domed sapphire crystal glass. Sat below the dial is a C3 grade Super-LumiNova disc finished in the colour green.

Dial Design:

Printed through the dial and bezel is the exact chequered markings off the side of a an Australian fire engine. The two batten shaped indices positioned at 12 represent the lapel markings that a Crew Manager wears on their uniform in the UK Fire & Rescue Service. The indices are inspired by the shape of the locking wheel nuts found on an Australian fire engine. The front of our second hand is inspired by the chime inside of a vintage fire bell and the back of the hand represents the head of a firefighter axe. Our iconic vintage firefighter helmet logo is applied to the dial with microlevel detailing.

Crystal:

The material used in our glass is sapphire crystal with an applied anti-reflective coating. The glass is completely scratch resistant and finished with an impressive double domed curve. The glass is tinted with a medium blue colour paying tribute to William Wood’s 25 years of service on a shift pattern called The Blue Watch for the Newcastle & Gateshead Fire Brigade.

Strap Measurements:

Our fire hose and fire gear straps fit a wrist size between 5.5 and 9.5 inches. Our stainless steel bracelet comes with additional links so it can be adjusted to measure all wrist sizes. We do not currently offer straps for lug sizes outside of 20mm.

Strap Execution:

Our upcycled fire hose and fire gear straps are finished with a silicon back that is stamped with ‘made from rescued materials’ and ‘William Wood’.
