The Elliot Brown Holton Professional Collection was designed in collaboration with a specialist branch of the British Armed Forces and is very popular amongst military service people. It was the first new military watch to be created by a British watch company in over ten years. The design of the Holton Professional watches echoes vintage military designs, but each model has a feel of contemporary fashion and technology.
The collection takes its name from Holton Heath in Dorset. This was the location of a wartime cordite factory. Core Features of the Holton Professional Collection: Each of the watches features a hobnail knurled bezel that is easy to use, even with gloved hands.
The watches all have a triple sealed, recessed hobnail knurled crown placed in the 4 o’clock position. The dial of each watch is protected by 2mm anti-reflective sapphire crystal. All of the Holton Professional watches feature luminous elements to ensure for optimal readability, even in the dark or underwater.
