Churchill 1895 GMT Watch 2811.1GMTB

The Watch

The union of Armando Rio y Cuervo and his uncle Ramon Cuervo gave birth to the Cuervo y Sobrinos brand in Cuba in 1882. Originally focused on selling quality Swiss watches and jewelry, the brand later turned to manufacturing. Drawing inspiration from Cuban art and culture, this watchmaking house crafts timepieces that reflect its roots. It relocated its headquarters to Switzerland, where it continues to produce high-end models with a distinctive touch. Each piece embodies a timeless aesthetic and a rich Cuban cultural heritage, blending expertise with a unique and resplendent result. Today, the brand pays grand tribute to a British statesman with the Churchill 1895 GMT 2811.1GMTB watch. This new addition to the Churchill collection is designed for men and celebrates the life of a great man who never lost his fascination with the Caribbean island. Limited to 200 pieces, this watch features a silver-toned case crafted in stainless steel and titanium, giving it undeniable durability. Brushed and polished, it measures 43 mm in diameter and 12.45 mm in thickness. It is fitted with a gray crown at 3 o'clock, used to adjust the central hands. These are protected by a sapphire crystal guarding against potential impacts, with an anti-reflective coating for effortless legibility. The whole is sealed by a caseback engraved and secured with screws. Offering water resistance of 10 ATM, the caseback also features a sapphire crystal opening that reveals a beautiful view of the movement's inner workings.

The Dial

With its captivating look, this dial adds a beautiful touch to the timepiece. It features a navy blue background enhanced with a Clous de Paris finish that lends it extra charm. The outer edge displays a minute railroad track following its round shape. This is complemented by spade-shaped indices alternating with Arabic numerals serving as hour markers. Together, they are swept by three silver-toned hands anchored at the center - a slender seconds hand alongside hour and minute hands. A fourth hand joins them to provide the GMT function. In blue with a red arrow, it travels over the baton indices and black Arabic numerals in a 24-hour format displayed around it. A date window sits at 3 o'clock, and the Swiss Made label appears at the bottom near 6 o'clock. Above, the watch name is inscribed, and at 12 o'clock, the brand places its logo followed by its name just below as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic CYS 8122 movement based on the Soprod C125 caliber, measuring 26.20 mm in diameter. Manufactured in-house, it ensures precise timekeeping for the hands, date function, and GMT function. It oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph and is equipped with 25 jewels to reduce friction. This Swiss mechanism is vibration-resistant and delivers a power reserve of 42 hours.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this striking timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water! You can wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even during high-intensity laps). That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while in the water!
