Walnut Wood Clubmaster Regatta Chrono Date Watch 241542.SA.T.15W

The Watch

Briston is a young French-born watchmaking brand defined by an innovative, bold, and authentic DNA - infused into every high-quality timepiece it creates. Each watch balances elegant sportiness, contemporary chic design, and proven reliability, delivering a truly unique wearing experience. Today, the brand expands its Clubmaster collection with two new elegant, sporty timepieces inspired by the nautical world, reviving the iconic design of the 1960s regatta watches known as "Yachtimers". Here we present the Clubmaster Regatta Chrono Date 241542.SA.T.15W - a refined blend of urban lines, bold style, vibrant colors, and clean finishes that will captivate seasoned regatta racers, sailing enthusiasts, and free-spirited style-conscious men alike. Built to be worn day or night, this watch is your reliable, determined, and stylish companion for every adventure - on the water or in the city. It elevates any outfit with a modern, sport-chic edge. The watch features a curved square case that echoes the iconic Clubmaster silhouette. Designed in Italy, it rests comfortably on the wrist throughout the day. It measures 42 mm wide and 42 mm long with a thickness of 12.80 mm - a perfect fit for men's wrists. The case middle is crafted in cellulose acetate with a handsome tortoiseshell effect in brown tones, while the remaining components are made from 316L stainless steel, giving the whole an energetic, deep, and timeless character. The case has been hand-polished with satin-brushed accents for a striking on-wrist presence. At 3 o'clock, a screwed crown with a knurled design embossed with the Briston crest lets you set the time and date and operate the chronograph via the two flanking pushers. The dial is shielded from daily shocks by a K1 mineral crystal, an ultra-resistant 2.80 mm domed glass that adds a modern flair. The watch features a screwed caseback delivering water resistance to 200 meters.

The Dial

Evoking the teak decks of classic yachts, this elegant round dial - 30 mm in diameter - brings a nautical soul to the watch, radiating timeless, sporty elegance. Its wood-effect brown background with black lines adds a dynamic edge. Designed for fluid, easy timekeeping, the dial packs in several compelling complications. The navy blue bezel is graduated with a nautical tachymeter in nautical miles to calculate a vessel's average speed up to 30 knots per hour. The dial features two grey baton hands coated in white SuperLuminova for reliable legibility even in low-light conditions. A small seconds counter sits at 6 o'clock. The thin red central hand tracks chronograph seconds, while the bi-color counter at 9 o'clock handles the regatta countdown function with a 5'+5' countdown. A 24-hour counter is positioned at 3 o'clock, and a white date window between 4 and 5 o'clock displays the date in black Arabic numerals. Applied baton indices around the dial are coated in white SuperLuminova for dark-condition readability, separating a minute track graduated with black markers in increments of five. Briston signs the dial below 12 o'clock with its name and the "Clubmaster" and "Regatta" references, noting the water resistance at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

For this exceptional watch, Briston selected the new Seiko VK83 caliber, a meca-quartz movement of Japanese manufacture delivering outstanding performance and flawless reliability in every situation. Running at a frequency of 32,768 Hz, this high-quality mechanism offers up to 3 years of autonomy via its SR936SW battery, ensuring smooth, precise motion of the hands, date window, and counters. Built with a tri-point hammer system, it provides instant reset for an even more satisfying experience. Hours, minutes, seconds, date, and chronograph - all read with precision and confidence, day after day.

The Strap

Crafted in nylon, a refined NATO strap secures to both sides of the case, giving the watch a sleek sporting character. Its navy blue woven design adds a sophisticated touch. With a lug width of 20 mm and a total length of 24.50 cm, this easily interchangeable strap pairs effortlessly with any outfit, adding a modern, polished finish. Water-resistant and supremely comfortable to wear, it features a Briston-engraved keeper, a removable keeper, and an ardillon buckle - all crafted in polished 316L stainless steel - for a secure, easy-to-use fastening.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres - equivalent to 200 meters - this model qualifies without hesitation as a true dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: while it handles showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba diving with ease, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving where extreme pressure would compromise its water resistance. For professional divers pushing the limits of depth, we recommend models rated at 30 ATM or more. We also advise against operating the pushers or crown while submerged, to maintain a perfect seal.
