The England based Elliot Brown Canford is a versatile tool watch with a sunray-brushed dark marine blue dial. This timepiece features a Swiss quartz movement, inner rotating bezel for timing, and a 44mm steel case. While many watch brands pick off the shelf components for their timepieces, the Canford steps it up with custom font on the Ronda caliber 715 datewheel, a custom shock absorbing movement holder, and a strap with a patent pending buckle design.

Condition: Excellent. Lightly handled display model. The battery was changed on this watch, but because of the design of the caseback screws, the heads look almost stripped (see pics)! This might make it difficult to get into the watch in the future, unless you can order new screws from EB. This is the kind of thing you won’t see most of the reviewers mention because of lack of real-world, hands-on experience with the watch. Also, as it is still a fairly recent model, there aren’t likely to be many watches that need the battery replaced yet. It’s still a nice looking piece, but just keep this in mind, even if you buy a new one you have to be very careful getting into it!

In Elliot Brown’s own words:

“The Canford is quietly handsome, for those who don’t want their watch to shout too loudly. It has the elegance of a classic pilot’s watch but with broader shoulders. It’s the sort of watch you need never take off, no matter how tough the conditions or how smart the suit.” – Elliot Brown
