The Watch

Wearing a Briston watch means having a stylish, timeless, and dependable companion on your wrist every day. Blending bold creativity, British inspiration, and innovative materials, this young French brand delivers urban, elegant, and highly precise timepieces for every lover of contemporary watchmaking. With the Streamliner Urban collection, Briston now introduces a new line of contemporary, high-performance watches sure to delight sporty men who want to stand out. Fall for this extraordinary Gentleman Driver timepiece in gray and make it your everyday signature for a sharp, urban edge. Drawing its inspiration from the iconic codes of motorsport and the Gordon Bennett Cup automobile race held between 1900 and 1905, this watch brings a touch of refinement and elegance to any look, day or night, with unwavering reliability on every occasion. It features a case crafted from 316L stainless steel and hand-polished tortoiseshell cellulose acetate, an innovative material made in Italy that lends it a distinctly sophisticated character. With its curved square shape, it measures 42 mm in width and 42 mm in length with a 12 mm thickness. It sits comfortably and durably on your wrist. Secured by four polished screws, its curved tonneau bezel stands out with its vertical brushed finish. It surrounds a K1 mineral crystal with a thickness of 2.80 mm that absorbs shocks to protect the dial. At 3 o'clock, a knurled crown bearing the Briston crest lets you set the hours and minutes. The two pushers flanking it, decorated with an orange insert, control the chronograph. Finally, the screwed case back ensures water resistance to 10 bar.

The Dial

At 34 mm in diameter, this dial stands out with its embossed texture, adding depth and a sport-chic dynamism to the watch. It features a round base in a rich gray tone with a silver-white rehaut. The rehaut is marked with a tachymeter scale for calculating the speed of a moving object, and is highlighted by two zones in red and orange, a nod to the rev counters of racing cars. At the center, two pointed baton hands in gray with an open-worked design glide smoothly to indicate hours and minutes. They point to eleven recessed indexes etched into the dial for quick hour recognition, rendered in Arabic numerals and baton markers for a sleek look. Both the hands and indexes feature SuperLuminova C1 treatment for excellent legibility in low-light conditions - this luminescent coating is also applied to the sub-dial hands. Two sub-dials provide the 24-hour function at 3 o'clock with an orange hand, and the 60-minute chronograph function with a red hand. Both feature a "squircle" shape with a silver-white sunray base. A date window with a red frame sits at 6 o'clock, displaying black Arabic numerals on a white background. A slim lacquered red seconds hand at the center tracks the passage of seconds and logs chronograph seconds when activated. Finally, the brand name is signed below 12 o'clock, and the "Streamliner" collection name appears at 6 o'clock alongside the model's water resistance rating.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement from the renowned manufacturer Miyota. Celebrated for its high quality, outstanding performance, and unfailing precision, the caliber 0S21 drives the hands, sub-dials, and date window flawlessly. Beating at a frequency of 32,768 Hz, it delivers a 5-year battery life and provides accurate, reliable display of hours, minutes, seconds, date, and chronograph functions.

The Strap

The brand chose to offer this watch with a choice of two straps. With a lug width of 20 mm, each one lets you express your personal style with elegance and a modern edge.

The first strap is the perfect choice for a look that's simultaneously vintage, modern, and elegant. Its stunning black tone gives it a deep, rich character. Comfortable to wear, it is crafted from embossed calfskin leather and accented with tonal stitching. This curved strap, measuring 75/115 mm in length, is the refined addition that elevates every outfit. Fitted with a removable keeper, it wraps your wrist with finesse for all-day comfort. Its pin buckle makes it easy and secure to put on and take off - engraved with the brand's name and crafted from 316L stainless steel.

With its H-link design, the second exclusive Briston bracelet adds a dynamic, effortlessly elegant edge to your look. It features a clean row of "H" links with a brushed finish, connected by polished chamfers. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it pairs beautifully with any outfit and wraps gracefully around your wrist. Measuring 156 mm in length, it is equipped with a deployment clasp engraved with the brand's name for easy, secure, and comfortable wear. The clasp measures 18 mm in width.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking speak - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a gala or in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or during a swim (even a vigorous one!). That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged!
