This bespoke edition of the Burton - Steel has been created exclusively for members of 7 th Light Mechanised Brigade. Each piece features an engraved caseback and dial print. The dial carries the clean, utilitarian aesthetic of the standard Burton but with subtle, unit-specific detailing unique to this collaboration. Watches will be produced and assembled once the order window closes on 15th December, with delivery estimated at 3–5 months from that point. Please note: due to the use of a screw-down caseback, engraving orientation cannot be guaranteed.
