Graceful and complex, the curvaceous Brunswick 40 takes its inspiration from a gentleman’s cushion case watch in the Fears archives, first made in 1924. This sportier iteration of the Brunswick is the perfect all-round watch, taking you from beach to boardroom with ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brunswick 40’s elegant yet sporty 40 mm cushion-shaped case has no flat surfaces. The case’s glancing curves are machined from 316L stainless steel in Hong Kong, to a level usually reserved for precious metals. The depth of the polish along with the hand grained finish applied to the top of the case’s corners showcase the sophistication of the machinery and the skill of the operator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt with uprated proportions and a screw-down crown, the Brunswick 40 is 200 m water resistant, allowing it to be submerged in water when the crown is screwed all the way in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplementing the case is a traditional ‘onion’-shaped winding crown.

This results in a highly polished surface that catches the light, giving excellent legibility in low-light conditions. These hands are finished in a coating of black gold that perfectly matches the polished 3D numerals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe seconds hand is hand-painted in a deep red, matching the red triangle at 12 o’clock.
