Description
This specific NIVO (Night Invisible Varnish, Orfordness) colour-way was uncovered whilst researching the use of specific military colours beyond the usual olive drab, black, and desert shades. Originally made from a combination of yellow ochre, pigment white 5, and ultramarine blue, NIVO was originally developed at Orfordness experimental station as a paint for British bombers that matched both the colour and gloss level of open water at night. If you'd like to read a little more about NIVO, Jason Heaton wrote a brilliant article about it (and his thoughts on his NIVO Holton) here. This model combines our unique NIVO dial with a stainless steel IP bronze case that accurately mimics the warmth and lustre of bronze without tarnishing: the colour on day one is the colour it'll always be. The Holton Professional was developed in response to a request from a specialist branch of the military who demanded a fit-for-purpose professional watch capable of shrugging off life in the field. The Brief: a watch capable of prolonged exposure to water and dust, durable, shock resistant, clear visibility day or night, unidirectional timing bezel operable with a gloved hand, easy strap changes and comfortable strapping options that don't break. The specification of the bezel gives a perfect insight into the level of detail we impart on every watch we put our names to. A precise 120 click high grip bezel houses a stainless steel insert hardened to 1200HV (Vickers hardness scale) precisely embossed with hours and minutes indentations then flooded with high grade C3 SuperLuminova. The hobnail outer knurling is slightly higher than the insert to form a high grip surface for confident operation even when using the palm of a wet gloved hand. Both components are beadblasted and a 0.8 micron PVD coating is then applied whose hardness matches that of the stainless steel components. N.B. this bezel is unapologetically fit for purpose. Please be aware it is likely to catch or wear shirt cuffs etc. We are a Elliot Brown authorised dealer Brand new boxed stock with full retail boxes & paperwork 5 Year warranty 43mm stainless case with double thickness bronze PVD coating Ultra high grip, 120 click uni-directional bezel with case-hardened insert Scratch resistant sapphire 2mm crystal treated to lifetime anti-reflective coating Superb night time performance with ultra bright Superluminova dial and bezel Movement: Swiss Ronda calibre 715 with low-battery/end of life indicator Solid stainless easy change strap bars Durable, patented webbing strap Supercompressor bolted down beautifully detailed case back Triple sealed, high grip screw down crown, recessed out of harm's way at 4h 9H-3H 43mm excluding crown 12H-6H - 52mm max to tip of case shoulders Maximum thickness 14mm Fits up to 190mm/7.5" wrist perfectly
