Elliot Brown Canford Silver 202-009-L05

Introduction

Whilst it’s mostly about CW, it’s not all about CW. There are some fantastic other brands out there that I’ve had as part of my own collection that operate a similar space to CW. I’m not talking your Rolex, Omega or Tudor, more your Halios, Pinion, Monta, anOrdian or Zero West.

This is one such smaller brand. I currently have one in my own collection and it is such a tough, rugged, go anywhere watch. You certainly don’t need to baby it. Elliot Brown was founded by the former management team of Animal watches (for those that remember those in the 90s - I had several).

I’ve just taken in six Elliot Browns from a CW collector that are all in fantastic condition, two Bloxworths, two Canfords and two Tynehams. All barely worn and complete with all boxes.

So, here we have a Canford where the design started with the strap!

“We really wanted a rich oxblood-burgundy leather strap, so we designed one, and then built this handsome watch to go perfectly with it. Inspired by the Englishness of button-backed chesterfield sofas, cricket balls, and DM boots, it’s one of the most individual watches we make, and one of the most popular.

The unique brushed gunmetal case and sunray-silver dial are contemporary, sharp, and monochrome, and contrast beautifully with the warmth and age provided by the oxblood leather strap.”

The lugs are drilled and unusually have a screw for attachment rather than the usual springbar. This makes strap swapping a cinch with the use of the provided screwdriver and also makes it incredibly secure.

Condition

The watch itself is in immaculate condition. It’s not been worn much, if at all.

Warranty

The Elliot Brown warranty has now expired, so it comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
