Elliot Brown Beachmaster 0H0-621, known as the Beachmaster Blackout, represents a culmination of four years of meticulous craftsmanship and ingenuity, and stands as an extraordinary timepiece with a granted patent for its originality. Aptly named in connection with D-Day landings, it emerged from a request at a Royal Marines event. Beyond its unique mission timing feature, allowing for precise countdowns, the Beachmaster serves as a ‘caller’ GMT with independent functionality and features an external ceramic uni-directional countdown bezel. The dark grey sandblasted PVD stainless steel case, along with the subtle amphibious assault graphic on the matte black dial, reflects both durability and functionality. The watch is waterproof up to 300 meters, equipped with a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal, and boasts a Swiss-made Ronda 515.24H quartz movement. The case back, featuring the Beachmaster wordmark and NATO amphibious assault symbol, adds a layer of symbolic significance. The upper mission timing crown, with its spring-loaded ceramic ball bearings, showcases the brand’s commitment to detailed perfection. Completing the ensemble is a cut-to-fit rubber divers strap with a matching double-fold deployant buckle, emphasising both versatility and precision. This watch is equipped with a steel bracelet, adding to its solid-feel.
