The Broadarrow watch with a Japanese movement and brown leather strap is a striking blend of robust functionality and vintage-inspired design. The automatic self-winding mechanism known for its durability and accuracy. With a 41-hour power reserve, it ensures dependable timekeeping without needing daily winding, making it a favoured choice among watch enthusiasts and collectors.

At the heart of this timepiece is the dial, which features a clean and legible layout, accompanied by bold numerals and luminescent hands for easy reading in low-light conditions. The Broadarrow’s design harks back to the military watches of the mid-20th century, incorporating simple yet purposeful elements, from its robust case construction to the minimalistic aesthetic that enhances readability.

The case is stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, featuring a matte finish to reduce glare. The crown, located at the 3 o’clock position, is large and textured for ease of use, even when wearing gloves, reflecting the watch’s military-inspired origins. The dial is often protected by a flat sapphire crystal, offering superior scratch resistance compared to standard mineral glass.

Complementing the rugged nature of the watch is the brown leather strap, which adds a touch of warmth and refinement to the overall design. Made from high-quality leather, it is both durable and comfortable to wear. Over time, the leather strap develops a unique patina, giving the watch an individualised look that enhances its vintage appeal. The strap features a traditional buckle, ensuring a secure fit while maintaining the classic style.

The Broadarrow offers 200 metres of water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear, including swimming and light snorkelling, though it is not intended for professional diving. This practical water resistance, combined with its robust construction, makes the watch versatile enough for both formal and casual occasions.

Overall, the Broadarrow  and brown leather strap is a perfect fusion of modern mechanical reliability and classic, military-inspired aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate both function and style in their timepieces.
