Bamford London has entered new territory with its first original dive watch design – the D-300 Ceramic Dive Watch. Built to endure the challenges of underwater exploration, the D-300 combines cutting-edge materials with meticulous design details to offer both function and style at a very accessible price of £1,500. With a robust ceramic case featuring a titanium core, the watch is engineered to provide exceptional scratch and corrosion resistance while remaining water resistant to 300 meters. Its bold design is complemented by a uni-directional rotating bezel with 120 clicks and deep-cut grooves, ensuring both secure grip and precise functionality.
The D-300 is crafted with an outer shell of high-grade ceramic that encases a titanium core. This construction not only reinforces the case against impact and corrosion but also creates a striking aesthetic. The watch’s 42mm case is housed beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, while its screw-down titanium crown and ceramic crown guards further enhance its durability. A rubber strap, colour-matched to each case variant, completes the design, ensuring comfort and a secure fit during aquatic adventures. Inside, the watch runs on either an ETA 2824-2 or a Sellita SW200-1 movement, delivering a reliable power reserve of approximately 38 hours.
The Gloss White Ceramic variant of the Bamford D-300 offers a clean, reflective case that captures the light in a way that emphasizes its refined finish. The bright, glossy surface creates a striking contrast against the dark, Super-LumiNova-coated dial markers and hands, making it an excellent choice for those seeking both visibility and an unmistakable statement piece. This variant is ideal for divers who appreciate a modern, crisp look that stands out in any setting.
For a more understated and versatile option, the Matte Black Ceramic version of the D-300 delivers a sleek and contemporary appearance. Its muted finish provides a subtle yet bold statement that pairs well with both professional and casual attire. The black variant’s dial, accentuated by vibrant details, ensures excellent legibility even in low-light conditions, making it a practical choice for demanding underwater adventures.
The Matte Green Ceramic edition of the D-300 introduces a unique twist with its rich, earthy tone. Drawing inspiration from natural hues, this variant combines style and functionality to appeal to enthusiasts who want a dive watch that stands apart. The green finish, paired with carefully chosen accents on the dial, offers a fresh take on traditional diver aesthetics, ensuring both high visibility and a distinctive look on your wrist.
Rounding out the collection, the Matte Blue Ceramic variant presents a cool and contemporary option. Its subtle blue finish is designed to evoke the serene depths of the ocean, making it a fitting companion for underwater exploration. With the same robust build and high-performance features as its counterparts, the blue variant maintains the watch’s commitment to precision and durability, all while adding a touch of understated colour to your collection.
Bamford D-300 is a dive watch that marries form and function seamlessly. Whether you choose the Gloss White, Matte Black, Matte Green, or Matte Blue variant, each model offers the same reliable performance and eye-catching design.
