    Bamford Mayfair





    This week, London-based BWD has released its very own watch collection: the Bamford Mayfair Collection. In recent times, we have seen official collaborations with Zenith and TAG Heuer, but this is something entirely different. Bamford is going at it alone, and for the very first time.This week, London-based BWD has released its very own watch collection: the Bamford Mayfair Collection. In recent times, we have seen official collaborations with Zenith and TAG Heuer, but this is something entirely different. Bamford is going at it alone, and for the very first time.

    he Mayfair is a 40mm stainless steel dive watch powered by a quartz movement (a Miyota 203, to be precise). It has an asymmetrical shape, a rotating bezel, and a bold time-only dial with no date window. The watch is water resistant to 10 ATM and has LumiNova indexes and hands, which provides a strong glow night and day. “I love the quartz movement and I think Swatch changed everyone’s perception of it," Bamford says. "I love it as part of this watch and I think it works as well to keep the price down." More on that in a bit.

    Bamford Mayfair

    Not for me...
    I prefer the PRS18 and Marathon Navigator
    I am sure both will be cheaper as well! Correction... both are a lot cheaper!





    Cheers

    Surely all Mayfair watches have champagne dials, I'm perplexed..

    I quite like the look of them to be honest - glad they didn’t feel the need to argue a $1000+ price tag though!

    I'm failing to get excited by a £425 100 meters "diving" watch with a £1 Miyota movement inside to be quite honest.

    Yes, all about LVMH brand collaborations now - Zenith and TAG so far.

    I quite like that to be fair. I know I shouldn’t, although the black dial, black hand combo is a little laughable.

    I’d never buy one though as the price just isn’t worth it, plus as a Bamford goes, whilst certainly great VFM it’s just not what they were famous for - and yes I’m in the camp that loves the idea of an unserviceable Rolex. I will get my coat!
