ELLIOT BROWN TYNEHAM WATCH REVIEW

The Elliot Brown Tyneham is really a hard use watch 

That doesn't always seem like the normal hard use watch. Think the INOX, but without all of the marketing hype. When i state marketing hype, I'm not attempting to downplay the INOX, I've reviewed 2 different types here on Watchreport. I believe they simply went just a little overboard using the marketing. Using the Tyneham, there are several wonderful features included in this watch that aren’t noticeable towards the human eye alone, but triple seal crowns along with a shock resistant movement holder really are a couple of of these. The Tyneham can also be the very first automatic from Elliot Brown, something fans of the trademark happen to be wanting for quite a while.

ELLIOT BROWN TYNEHAM WATCH REVIEW

The very first factor if you notice concerning the Elliot Brown Tyneham would be that the situation might look familiar. This is because it is dependant on the Canford, a dual crown quarta movement model from Elliot Brown which i reviewed here a couple of years back on Watchreport. As the base situation could be the same, virtually anything else differs. This time around you simply get one crown, found at some o’clock position, a totally different dial, so that as I mentioned before, a computerized movement, the Miyota 9130.

Initially I figured using the Miyota 9130 movement 

Would be a strange choice and that i still don't know when the watch was initially made with this movement in your mind, or maybe the greater cost and availability problems with the Miyota 9015 were a adding factor. Following a couple of days using the Elliot Brown Tyneham I've accepted using this movement, mainly for that power reserve around the dial, something I initially disliked. Similar to the 9015, the 9130 movement includes a smooth sweep hands and dependable precision. Due to the utilisation of the automatic movement, Elliot Brown desired to make certain the Tyneham only agreed to be as able to take anything you can throw in internet marketing, as if you can using their quarta movement watches. That's in which the 360 shock resistance is necessary. In the website: “The first type of defense is a stainless-steel movement cage, encircled by our proprietary shock absorber allowing the entire set up to drift within the outer situation. Secondary shock resistance comes by means of the total amount staff shock protection system included in the movement”.

The gunmetal PVD with rubber strap was instantly my personal favorite form of the Elliot Brown Tyneham, for any couple of reasons. One, I'm beginning to actually love gunmetal PVD cases. It's that more dark more subdued look, but has a bit more character into it than full matte black. I additionally chose this version for review due to the modified sword hands. I'm not really sure if that's what they are known as, but that's what I'm going with. The Tyneham will come in a couple of different versions, different dial colors, straps, handset and a range of solid stainless screw lower situation back, or perhaps an exhibition situation back. The orange accents from the black dial was one more reason I selected this version, that little pop of color makes that one just a little sportier, while another variations tend to be more dressy. The ability reserve indicator wasn't something I loved initially, however it is continuing to grow on me, and that i like how it's symmetrical using the date window too.

 What else helps make the Elliot Brown Tyneham a “hard use” watch? The bezel is situation-hardened to six occasions harder than marine grade stainless. This can be a feature the aforementioned INOX could really use, as anybody the master of certainly one of individuals knows the amount of a scratch magnet the bezel could be. Now, it could have been great when the entire situation was hardened such as the bezel is, however that most likely might have upped the cost significantly. With this stated, we usually bump or bang the bezel area probably the most, so realizing it should support most daily abuse is really a damn good factor. Something which surprised me could be that the crown doesn't screw lower, the water proofing from the Tyneham is 300 meters. This is done through triple seals, so it's sealed in most positions. Full transparency, I didn't test to the extremes. I used it within the shower, I submerged it while washing dishes many occasions, and that i place it inside a tub filled with water for any couple of hrs to take a look, but I didn't frolic in the water or diving by using it, like me an accepted “desk diver” From my testing though, it organized all right.

This specific version as perform a couple of others

From the Tyneham has a fitted natural rubber strap. Since it is fitted it doesn't have any gap between your lugs just like a normal strap would despite the fact that it will bow out somewhat in the situation, it doesn't effect enhanced comfort when being worn. To go with the fitted custom rubber strap is really a custom buckle, with engraving and mix hatch machining around the sides. Should you haven’t observed yet, the popularity with this particular watch is custom, as nothing appears to become out of the box. I haven't removed the rubber strap however with the screw bar attachment, it ought to be no trouble. I normally alter straps on the watch but simply didn’t want to using the Tyneham when i such as the fitted look. Used to do notice one version on the website includes a standard strap, and also the gap is extremely minimal because it appears the lug holes are near to the situation.
