Thomas Earnshaw Nasmyth Grande Date Chronograph ES-8260-02 Watch

The Watch

The iconic British watchmaking house Thomas Earnshaw unveils its new Nasmyth ES-8260-02 Chronograph Watch. This stunning men's watch puts an end to the search for a chic, elegant timepiece. Its stainless steel case features a 43 mm diameter and a 13 mm thickness. The fixed bezel features a polished finish in keeping with the case, and is topped with a mineral crystal. At 3 o'clock, the traditional crown is flanked on either side by pushers, allowing you to set the hands and control the chronograph sub-dials with ease. Finally, the screw-down caseback ensures 5-atmosphere water resistance and excellent visibility of the movement.

The Dial

Staying in dark tones, the round dial of this stunning watch features an uncommonly styled face. It draws the eye to the three sub-dials and the 12 o'clock date window. Elegant and refined, the dial houses three slender bronze hands at its center. They display the hours and minutes, while the fine seconds hand sweeps smoothly with every passing second. Around the dial, a discreet minute track runs along the outer edge, with a second ring of Roman numeral hour markers. The sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock indicate respectively 10-minute, 60-second, and 60-minute elapsed time. Finally, the brand signs its creation where the 12 o'clock index would otherwise be.

The Movement

The automatic movement is widely recognized for its reliability. Fitted inside this watch, it delivers exceptional precision in the analog display of hours and minutes.

The Strap

Thomas Earnshaw provides a genuine black leather strap with a subtle alligator pattern. This refined finish features discreet tone-on-tone stitching. The pin buckle adjusts to fit any wrist size.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It is designed to be strikingly beautiful and turn heads in any setting. Yet this precious quality in no way compromises the watch's ability to handle everyday life. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it gently on the edge of the sink to preserve its shine and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving are strongly discouraged, as exposure to such conditions could damage the watch and result in repair costs.
