This bespoke edition of the Durrant - Black has been created exclusively for members of BTP ARV. Built for professionals who work in some of the most demanding environments on earth, the Durrant combines field-ready durability with understated design. This watch is a BTP ARV blacked out 15th Anniversary edition and features an engraved caseback and dial print. The dial carries the clean, utilitarian aesthetic of the standard Durrant but with subtle, unit-specific detailing unique to this collaboration. Watches will be produced and assembled once the order window closes on 23rd January 2026, 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.
