Bamford London Watch Inspired By The Defender is the Ideal Illustration of Sustainability Via Longevity

Bamford London and Land Rover have partnered to produce a limited-edition LR001 watch.

LR001, which was inspired by the Defender, mixes controlled surfaces with innate capabilities.Sustainability by means of a titanium casing and quality automatic movementonly 100 samples accessible globally.

You can purchase from Bamford London (UK RRP $1,350 inclusive of VAT).

Only 100 copies of this Land Rover-designed and Bamford London-built vehicle are available globally.

The LR001 reflects the design language of the Defender by combining restrained surfaces with inherent capacity. With a 40mm titanium casing and a superb Sellita SW200-1b automatic movement, as well as a refined ruthenium anthracite finish, this watch exemplifies sustainability via its durability.

 

 

The aesthetically appealing design is encased in grey titanium and has a grey cutaway dial that emphasises its technological accuracy. Under the dial's cutout is the luminescence, which emits a gentle green glow for low-light usage. It has Bamford's characteristic aqua blue 'LR001' writing at six o'clock on the dial.

There are four 18mm biodegradable straps available in black, blue, light tan, and dark tan. Each is an eco-friendly alternative to conventional leather. The black, light tan, and dark tan variants are manufactured from sustainable PU leather produced from maize, whilst the navy option is made from Cordoba, a hydrophobic and durable woven recycled nylon material.

 

 

This partnership is inspired by one of the most famous automobiles in the world, the Land Rover Defender. The initial incarnation of the LR001 has a grey titanium casing with a grey dial and fixed titanium lugs. I have a longstanding history with Land Rover, and it is an honour to collaborate with the design team as we introduce our first watch.

 

George Bamford - Founder & CEO, Bamford London

 

The LR001 features a fascinating design that is perfectly implemented via its polished and sculpted shape. It was created with inherent durability and embodies Defender's minimalist personality.
