Holton Auto GMT

Founded in 2013 by friends Ian Elliot and Alex Brown, Elliot Brown exists for one purpose: to build wearable, affordable, and tough watches that are fit for any purpose. With collaborations with the United Kingdom’s Armed Forces, Mountain Rescue England & Wales, Land Rover, and other government agencies, the brand has done just that.

The Holton is one of EB’s flagship dive watches, developed in tandem with a specialist branch of the British Armed Forces. The Auto GMT collection takes that original spec and adds an independently adjustable 24-hour hand and high-grip 24-hour bezel for a travel-friendly variant. Featuring the same 43mm case and 200m water resistance of the original, the Holton Auto GMT is available here in three military grade options: matte gunmetal grey PVD, sandblasted stainless steel, and EB’s unique NIVO — Night Invisible Varnish Orfordness. Each features complementary straps secured by EB’s screw-in strap bars. 

Powering the Holton Professional is the Seiko NH34, a Japanese-made caliber. An automatic movement, it features 24 jewels, hacking, hand winding, independent 24-hour hand GMT and date complications, a frequency of 21,600 beats per hour, and a power reserve of at least 40 hours.
