Elliot Brown Firefighters Watch
Elliot Brown are already known by many as the go to brand if you want a versatile watch. They make watches that work just as well over a wet suit as they do under the cuff of a shirt, thisis all thanks to the efforts of the brands founders Ian Elliot and Alex Brown who learned their trade making sports watches at action sports brand Animal.
Elliot Brown has such a wide range of customers thanks to the watches versatility and range of features. Some of the types of customers include explorers, adventurers, TV personalities, extreme athletes, Clipper Round the World Yacht Race crews, Mountain Rescue England and Wales, and the British military
This particular watch has got an interesting story behind is which all started because of a relationship Elliot brown have with firefighter Darren (Billy) Taylor who they supported when he rowed the Pacific Race to raise awareness of Spotlight YOPD, the charity for young onset Parkinson’s Disease. We love how much dedication this phenomenal gentleman is showing towards others and to support others with his fundraising and as he continues to raise awareness.
He then approached the FBU (Fire Brigades Union) and incredibly secured their endorsement for a watch project that raises money for The Fire Fighters Charity and the FBU’s chosen charities. In an amazing deal Elliot Brown have stepped up to the plate to show their support for this young man and others like him with a staggering offer; for every 1% of firefighters who purchase this watch, approximately £13,000 will be donated by Elliot Brown. Now that is fundraising at its best! What a guy!
The watch is beyond perfect, its a beautiful timepiece which has a number of functional capabilities and is definitely special to anyone in the fire service no matter what their age or rank. It’s a subtle “if you know, you know” kind of watch based on the brands best-selling ‘supercompressor’ Swiss quartz Canford model complete with internal rotating timing bezel.
Its Swiss quartz movement is securely housed inside a solid but sleek shock absorbing housing, and every watch is tested in water at 200M to make sure its ready and to check it meets their undoubtedly high standards. They even come with two premium straps – one rubber and one leather. There’s space on the detailed case back just in case you wanted to personally engrave it too.
Please note that these watches are only available to British firefighters, support staff and their families however you can always show your support by donating to either the Firefighters Charity or the Young onset Parkinsons Disease (YOPD) charity and you can be assured the money is going to be well spent.
