ARNE: Royal Armouries Special Edition Watch - Elliot Brown
This product has been developed in partnership with Elliot Brown and is available for purchase on their website - here.
The Royal Armouries Arne limited edition is based on the sell out Field Watch with a hidden story, inspired by a WWII icon in the Royal Armouries Collection.
Together we’ve turned our attention to a one-of-a-kind object within the Royal Armouries' remarkable firearms collection - the first BREN gun ever made, produced at RSAF Enfield in September 1937.
The BREN Light Machine Gun (LMG) is one of WWII's most iconic weapon systems. It was renowned for its accuracy, reliability, and versatility. This remarkable piece of engineering remained in service for an extraordinary 54 years, and it felt only fitting to let such a legacy shape the design of this special watch.
This special edition is packed with subtle if-you-know, you-know unique detailing...
- ENFIELD D 1937 under 12 to mark the date and location of when the first BREN Gun was produced
- Bronze chapter ring to mirror the base plate on the serial #1 BREN Gun
- BREN Mk1 at 6
- 1991 on chapter ring to mark the year the BREN Gun came out of service/declared obsolete by the MOD
- Royal Armouries logo on caseback
- Limited edition of 150.
