The Heritage Kensington Multifunction Automatic Watch ES-8296-02 is a remarkable showcase of Thomas Earnshaw's horological craftsmanship. Blending function with refined aesthetics, it features a stunning stainless steel case in a sleek tonneau shape, striking a perfect balance between modern design and classic elegance. At 37 mm in diameter and 15 mm thick, it sits beautifully on the wrist with a well-balanced 110 g weight for all-day comfort.

A transparent screw-down case back adds a secure finish and offers a mesmerizing view of the movement within.

The Dial

The dial is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, featuring an "open heart" finish that reveals a glimpse of the inner movement, captivating at every glance. This white dial is adorned with refined Roman numerals, lending it a timeless, sophisticated character. Two subdials are seamlessly integrated: one displaying a 24-hour indication, the other dedicated to a moon phase complication, elegantly positioned at the top for perfect visual balance. The central hands are meticulously crafted and treated with SuperLuminova, ensuring flawless legibility even in low-light conditions.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a high-precision automatic movement, powered by a rotor that harnesses the natural motion of the wrist to keep the watch running without any battery. This self-winding mechanism delivers exceptional reliability and a seamless passage of time. It drives all the essential functions, including hours, minutes, and seconds, while also powering the sophisticated complications of a moon phase and a 24-hour subdial.

The Strap

The strap on the Heritage Kensington Multifunction Automatic Watch ES-8296-02 is crafted from premium leather in a rich blue hue. Designed for all-day comfort, it features subtle contrast stitching that adds a touch of understated luxury. A silver-tone pin buckle ensures a secure fit while elevating the overall aesthetic. With a 22 mm lug width, this strap delivers exceptional versatility and stability on the wrist, blending style with lasting durability.

Water Resistance

With water resistance rated to 5 atmospheres, this Thomas Earnshaw watch provides reliable protection against everyday water exposure and shallow immersion. While not suited for deep-sea diving, it handles rain, splashes, and shallow water with ease, making it a confident companion for an active daily lifestyle.
