The Watch

The Thomas Earnshaw Drake Dual Time Automatic is the embodiment of sophistication. Its case is beautifully crafted in stainless steel - a material prized for its durability and lasting shine. With a diameter of 42.50 mm, a thickness of 12.50 mm, and a lug-to-lug length of 50.00 mm, this "tonneau" case commands attention with its dynamic, contemporary silhouette while remaining comfortable on the wrist thanks to its well-balanced weight of 93 grams. The mineral crystal protecting the dial's intricate complexity is carefully selected for its scratch resistance in everyday use. The transparent screw-back case is an elegant invitation to admire the ballet of the automatic movement within, revealing the watchmaking art from an entirely new angle.

The Dial

With an unmistakable style, the Drake Dual Time Automatic dial features a striking skeleton finish that puts every detail of the movement on full display. The dominant black color creates a bold contrast against the exposed movement components, adding a captivating sense of depth. Luminescent hands and hour markers ensure excellent legibility even in low-light conditions. A railroad minute track along the dial's edge enhances precision for a clean, efficient time read. Complications such as the moon phase and dual time zone are elegantly integrated into the overall design - delivering both functionality and undeniable visual appeal. The classic analog display is thoughtfully laid out to balance aesthetics and innovation, making it the perfect choice for the modern man who refuses to compromise on performance or style.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats an automatic movement powered by a rotor for smooth, reliable self-winding performance. Crafted by Thomas Earnshaw, this movement is engineered to deliver unmatched precision - representing the very best of modern watchmaking. Its complications, including a second time zone and moon phase, showcase advanced technical mastery that makes seamless transcontinental timekeeping effortless.

The Strap

Crafted in black silicone, the Drake Dual Time Automatic strap combines comfort with practicality. Its flexibility and softness make it a pleasure to wear throughout the day, while its timeless black color pairs seamlessly with the overall design of the timepiece. The pin buckle clasp, also in black, delivers a secure fit with a subtle touch of refinement. The custom-fitted bespoke lug design reflects meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to a perfect fit.

Water Resistance

Rated at 5 ATM, the Drake Dual Time Automatic's water resistance delivers peace of mind in everyday situations. It can handle rain, splashes, and even accidental submersion without missing a beat. This level of water resistance is a mark of durability and reliability, letting you wear this watch in wet conditions or mildly aquatic environments with complete confidence. The screw-back case contributes to this solid water resistance, providing enhanced protection against moisture ingress. The result is a truly versatile timepiece - equally at home in the boardroom and on a weekend adventure.
