Bernhardt Binnacle Timer Watch

The Bernhardt Binnacle Timer Watch ($499) is the latest standout timepiece from Bernhardt’s Retro collection, a blend of heritage-inspired design and cutting-edge innovation. This meticulously crafted watch is a tribute to classic cushion-case dive watches, but with modern updates that make it a true standout for today’s discerning watch enthusiast.

At the heart of the Binnacle Timer is its unique bidirectional internal bezel, which introduces a groundbreaking feature—dual time-tracking functionality. The bezel is marked with both chronological and inverse numerals, allowing for effortless tracking of elapsed and countdown times. Whether you’re timing your morning dive or counting down to your next adventure, this innovative bezel design offers unparalleled utility and precision. Enhanced by C1 Super-LumiNova on the hands, indices, and bezel, the watch guarantees optimal visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring you’re never left in the dark.

Crafted with a 316L stainless steel case, the Binnacle Timer boasts a robust build that exudes both durability and elegance. Measuring 41mm across, with a 47mm lug-to-lug and a 13mm thickness, it strikes the perfect balance between wrist presence and comfort. The case back is engraved with a striking hourglass emblem—a symbol of the precision timing this watch delivers. Complementing its rugged design is a stainless steel shark mesh bracelet, adding a refined yet adventurous edge to the timepiece. Whether you’re dressing up or gearing up for outdoor pursuits, the Binnacle Timer transitions seamlessly between settings.

Powered by the reliable Miyota 9015 automatic movement, the Binnacle Timer is designed for accuracy and long-lasting performance. With a water resistance rating of 200 meters (660 feet), this watch is built for underwater exploration, making it an ideal companion for divers and adventurers alike. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures your watch remains pristine, no matter where your journey takes you.

Available in two striking colourways—Porthole Gray and Burgee Green—the Binnacle Timer offers a palette for every style. Whether you prefer the sleek neutrality of the grey or the bold vibrancy of the green, both options are sure to turn heads. Hand-assembled in High Point, NC, each watch arrives in a beautifully engraved wooden Bernhardt box, underscoring the craftsmanship that goes into every piece.

In the Binnacle Timer, Bernhardt has created a watch that masterfully blends the nostalgia of retro dive watches with the functionality required for modern-day adventures.
