The Devil's In The Detail

Beauty in simplicity; nothing could be more apt to describe Bert’s nautical illustrations and the same is true of our design for The Dart. Using the illustrated ship motif as the centrepiece, we formed a simple set of markings around the upper ring of the dial, leaving the main dial surface free of any distractions. It brings a wonderful clarity and openness to The Dart that, coupled with the ink-line hands, makes time-telling a cinch.

The dial is constructed using 3 layers; the dial surface, flat and spacious, with a slightly recessed colour ring in Bert’s vivid aquamarine, and a final chamfered upper ring with 1-through-12 and minute markings, both in that same aquamarine and a lighter grey. It’s an exercise in beautiful simplicity.

COLLABORATION

The dial features our collaborative logo lock-up, a simple black line illustration of Bert's boat, and a hidden ring of aqua blue under the bezel.

DIAL DETAILS

The dial also celebrates the place Bert & Buoy calls home by featuring longitude and latitude coordinates of the mouth of the River Dart.

Patina

The Dart sports a matte blasted case, which makes it look like a sea-washed pebble, and will patina over time to give your Dart it's very own unique look - there's also a flash of embellishment in the polished concave cap of the crown.

PORTHOLE

The Dart showcases the spectacular engineering marvel that is the Miyota 9039 in all its utilitarian beauty. Surrounding this visual spectacle is the porthole-style caseback with aqua-marine ring, celebrating this unique collaboration between British designers.

It hosts the impressive Britannia Royal Naval College and annual Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta - which just so happens to be where Bert & Buoy originally launched. More recently,Which? Magazine placed Dartmouth at number two on the list of the best seaside towns in the UK - it's the perfect location for this contemporary nautical brand - so why not take the coast home with The Dart timepiece - a special collaboration between British designers, limited to only 250 pieces.
