Briston Blue Streamliner Urban Gentleman Driver Watch 24142.S.T.15

The Watch

Founded in 2012 by Brice Jaunet, the young French brand Briston has built its identity around a British-inspired sport-chic aesthetic - delivering timepieces that are urban, elegant, and unmistakably authentic. Blending a preppy spirit with technical precision and clean design, every carefully crafted watch empowers its wearer to express their personality with confidence and style. This season, the brand expands its Streamliner Urban collection with new, high-quality timepieces that will delight watch enthusiasts and motorsport fans alike. Discover the captivating Blue Gentleman Driver Watch, inspired by the Gordon Bennett Automobile Cup, and make it your essential everyday companion. Combining timeless design with versatile style and innovative construction, it elevates your look day and night with an exquisite sport-chic elegance. At its core is a sleek case defined by its distinctive tonneau shape, crafted from 316L stainless steel with a body made in Italy from hand-polished "tortoiseshell" cellulose acetate. Comfortable and refined for any occasion, the case measures 42 mm wide, 12 mm thick, and 42 mm long. Designed for men's wrists, it is crowned by a arched tonneau bezel with a vertical brushed finish and secured by four polished screws, reinforcing the model's preppy character. The bezel frames a K1 mineral crystal measuring 2.80 mm thick, protecting the dial from everyday wear. Hours, minutes, and date can be set via the crown at 3 o'clock, which bears the Briston emblem and is flanked by two pushers featuring a red insert to operate the chronograph. Finally, the watch features a screw-down case back ensuring water resistance up to 10 bar.

The Dial

A refined dial with a 34 mm opening sits elegantly within the case, lending the watch a more pronounced sport-chic edge. Its round base is dressed in a blue color brought to life by an embossed finish, giving the overall design a timeless quality. At the center, two skeletonized sword-style hands in silver indicate hours and minutes, joined by a slim seconds hand. Lacquered in red, the seconds hand also serves as the chronograph seconds counter. This complication is complemented by a 60-minute counter at 9 o'clock, animated by a red hand, while the 24-hour counter opposite features a blue hand. Both counters have a "squircle" shape with a silver-white sunray finish. The dial bezel stands out with its silver-white color and features a tachymeter scale, allowing you to measure the speed of a moving object. Its two zones in orange and red evoke the rev counters of racing cars, reinforcing the model's sporty character. Eleven indexes are recessed into the dial - Arabic numerals mark the even hours and baton markers the odd ones. Like the central hands and sub-dial hands, all indexes are coated with a SuperLuminova C1 layer, ensuring legibility in both bright and dark conditions. Timekeeping is completed by a date window with a white background and red border. Finally, Briston places its signature above 12 o'clock and inscribes the collection name "Streamliner" along with the water resistance rating at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by the Miyota 0S21 caliber - renowned for its reliability and high-quality construction - ensuring smooth, accurate movement of the hands, counters, and date window. This quartz movement delivers precise, dependable timekeeping in any situation. Manufactured in Japan, it operates at an oscillation frequency of 32,768 Hz. The battery has an estimated lifespan of 5 years.

The Strap

This stunning timepiece comes paired, at your choice, with one of the two straps below. Both sport a timeless look and feature a lug width of 20 mm.

Crafted from brown calfskin leather, this first strap adds a touch of sophisticated vintage charm to the watch. Featuring a brown finish, it is embossed with an wave design and tone-on-tone stitching that give it a more contemporary edge. Comfortable enough for everyday wear, it elegantly follows the natural curves of your wrist while delivering lasting comfort and durability. Secured with a 316L stainless steel pin buckle engraved with the brand name, this strap keeps things looking polished no matter the occasion. It measures 75/115 mm in length and features a removable keeper.

The second exclusive Briston strap with its H-link design brings a sharper sport-chic edge to your everyday look. Crafted from 316L stainless steel with brushed and polished finishes, it strikes the perfect balance of modern and timeless. Its clean row of "H" links connected by rectangular links gives it a refined, architectural appeal. At 156 mm in length, it wears comfortably for any occasion and pairs seamlessly with everything from athletic gear to tailored looks. 18 mm wide, its folding clasp engraved with the brand name ensures effortless, secure wear all day long.

Water Resistance

With water resistance up to 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this boldly styled timepiece transitions effortlessly from black-tie events to the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or even during an intense swim. That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving (freediving or tank diving) or use with high-pressure washers. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
