Bernhardt Watch Co Starboard Watch

Navigating life’s adventures requires precision, reliability, and a touch of elegance, and the Bernhardt Watch Company’s Starboard Watch is crafted to be your perfect companion on this journey. Inspired by the profound connection between time and the ocean, the Starboard blends the rugged durability of maritime equipment with the finesse and accuracy of modern horology.

At the heart of the Starboard Watch from Bernhardt Watch Company ($745) is its ship’s deck dial pattern, a textured homage to the craftsmanship found on a traditional schooner. This intricate design element not only adds depth and character to the watch but also captures the spirit of nautical exploration. Whether you’re charting new waters or simply navigating the demands of everyday life, the Starboard keeps you grounded and on course.

The watch is powered by a modified Miyota 9132 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability and precision. This movement is meticulously tested and regulated in the United States, ensuring that each Starboard watch meets the highest standards of timekeeping accuracy. Adding to its functionality, the Starboard features a rotating 24-hour day/night indicator, a nod to the relentless passage of time, even in the vastness of the open sea. This unique complication allows you to keep track of the time of day with a simple glance, enhancing the watch’s practicality for both seasoned sailors and landlocked adventurers alike.

Crafted from brushed stainless steel, the Starboard’s case is as tough as it is stylish. The recessed sides of the case add a sleek, modern touch while maintaining the watch’s robust profile. Measuring 39mm in diameter, with a thickness of 11.5mm and a lug width of 20mm, the Starboard is perfectly proportioned to offer a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist. The case is topped with a double-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal, providing exceptional clarity and protection against the elements. Whether you’re under the blazing sun or navigating through low-light conditions, the Super-Luminova BGW9 & X1 illumination ensures that the Starboard’s hands and markers are always visible, guiding your way no matter where you are.

Water-resistant up to 100 metres, the Starboard is built to withstand the rigours of life at sea—or in the city. It comes with your choice of a sailcloth or Saffiano leather strap, both featuring FKM rubber backing for added durability and comfort. The signed screw-down crown and the detailed case back artwork, depicting a schooner at sea, further enhance the watch’s nautical theme, making it a true statement piece.

Limited to just 100 numbered pieces, the Bernhardt Starboard Watch is more than just a timepiece; it’s a symbol of adventure, craftsmanship, and the timeless allure of the sea. Whether you’re an avid sailor or an admirer of fine horology, the Starboard is designed to be with you every step of the way, keeping you anchored in time as you explore the vast possibilities that lie ahead.
