NOVA ONE Bristol Blue

Engineered in Britain.
Built without compromise.

Finished inside and out, even where you’ll never see it.

The Nova One is not a watch designed to follow the industry. It’s built to challenge it. Every surface, every angle, every finish has been considered with one goal in mind, to create a British timepiece that stands shoulder to shoulder with watches priced far beyond it. This is Brunel’s first statement.And it’s deliberately limited.

Design

A tonneau-shaped 904L stainless steel case, sharply faceted and finished with a full 360° polished chamfer. The signature Brunel case extension, inspired by the Royal Albert Bridge, introduces a bold asymmetry. A lug bridge system integrates the strap seamlessly beneath the case, eliminating visual gaps and reinforcing the watch’s structural identity.

Dial

A multi-layer sandwich dial, engineered for depth. A lume-coated base layer sits beneath a precision-cut upper layer, finished with horizontal brushing and a translucent coating for added depth and light interaction.

Movement

Swiss La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement with 68-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and proven reliability. Visible through an exhibition caseback.

Rotor & Caseback

Custom rotor inspired by the screw propeller of the SS Great Britain. A skeletonised multi-spoke design with brushed surfaces, polished chamfers, and a weighted outer segment for efficient winding.

Finishing

Every case is finished inside and out, ensuring no surface is left raw or unfinished, including areas not visible during wear. The case incorporates bead-blasted surfaces, linear brushing, and high-polish chamfered edges, with crisp transitions throughout.

Crystal

Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating applied to the inner surface for improved clarity without compromising external durability.

Strap

Crafted from English leather, traditionally oak bark tanned at Britain’s oldest oak bark tannery. Designed to develop a natural patina over time and integrate seamlessly beneath the lug bridge. Standard 20mm lug width for easy strap changes.
