Duckworth Prestex Bolton Chronograph Meca-Quartz (39mm) Porcelain White Dial / Black Rubber

Duckworth Prestex’s origin story spans back almost a century. The Duckworth family business, Prestons, was founded back in 1869 in Bolton. The firm began making pocket watches in the 1920s, which were branded under the name of ‘Prestex’. Despite its success, the Prestex brand was discontinued in the 1960s to prioritise other ventures through Prestons. After 20 years of mourning, Neil Duckworth made the decision to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and revive the Prestex brand. Using experience from his long career in watchmaking, Duckworth launched ‘Duckworth Prestex’ to pay homage to both his family and the former beloved Prestex brand. Reimagining the original designs, Duckworth Prestex seeks to create versatile and high-quality pieces for an affordable price. 

The Duckworth Prestex Bolton Chronograph series reinvigorates a former-classic Prestex watch. Characterised by a monochrome double sub-dial complication and stylised numerals, the collection brings a timeless design into the 21st century. Retro, tasteful, and unique, the Bolton Chronograph watches are a sophisticated addition to any collection.
