The contemporary Fears watch, hand-built in England, is part of the new Fears Redcliff Collection, named after the Bristol street where the company was founded in 1846. Designed as an elegant and sophisticated everyday timepiece, the Redcliff 39.5 Date features a 39.5mm round case with integrated lugs, a screw-down case back, bezel, and crown. The slim 9.98mm case combines a brushed middle section with a polished bezel for a perfect fit on any wrist.
The Pewter Grey dial, made in Germany, has a hand-brushed vertical finish and finely-milled grooves on the chapter ring. It features sharp black printing and soothing cyan minute numerals, with a matching seconds hand. A date window at 3 o'clock reveals a colour-matched date disc with bespoke ‘Edwin’ numerals, enhanced by a shallow bevel for improved legibility.
The baton indexes, made of brass and coated in black gold, are filled with X1-Grade Super-LumiNova and hand-applied. The 12 o'clock index references the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The distinctive ‘Fears’-shaped hands, finished in black gold, catch the light brilliantly and glow blue in low light with X1-Grade lume.
Powered by a customised Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement, the Redcliff 39.5 Date has a 68-hour power reserve. It comes with a 3-link stainless steel bracelet and a 3D-woven textile strap, both adjustable for a perfect fit. Each watch is individually numbered, engraved between the lugs at 12 o’clock.
