Bamford London Begins New Era With D-300 Ceramic Dive Watch

Bamford London Begins New Era With D-300 Ceramic Dive Watch

The new Bamford D-300 Ceramic Dive Watch, a precision-engineered tool watch is designed by George Bamford to be as stylish on land as it is indispensable 1,000 feet beneath the surface. 

The creation of the D-300 has been a two-year voyage of innovation. From tweaking the ceramic compound to achieving the distinctive bi-finish case design, every detail has been carefully honed. The bezel tension has been meticulously calibrated, resulting in the precise 120-click mechanism for smooth, confident rotations. 

This high-performance timepiece boasts a lightweight yet incredibly strong ceramic case reinforced with a titanium core. Its lightweight ceramic rotating bezel adds functionality and style, with the watch launching in three signature ceramic colour; White, Black, Green and Navy with complimenting accents.

“Dive watches have always been a personal passion of mine, symbolising the hardcore, sporty lifestyle that inspires me daily. The Bamford D-300 felt like a natural evolution for us. From the beginning, I knew our dive watch had to be crafted in ceramic—a stunning, tech-forward, and highly scratch-resistant material that not only enhances the design but also allows for incredible colour variability.”

The new watch draws inspiration from the best-selling Bamford GMT cushion case, whose classic design has been upgraded to meet the ultimate dive-watch specifications. The result? A robust, 42mm ceramic tool watch built to handle any adventure, with an impressive 300 metres of water resistance. 

The D-300 exemplifies Bamford London founder George Bamford’s relentless focus on detail and innovation: 

Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel: Deep cut-outs for easy grip, perfect for underwater adjustments, with 120-click precision for half-minute accuracy. 

Oversized Titanium Crown: Protected by a sturdy snub-nosed guard, ensuring durability and usability even in demanding conditions. 

Super-LumiNova® Integration: Dial, hands, and bezel zero marker are richly coated for exceptional legibility in low-light or underwater environments. 

Every element has been engineered to enhance functionality and reliability, making the D-300 an ideal companion for both divers and everyday adventurers. To match the watch’s dive-inspired ethos, the D-300 is presented in a cylindrical orange case*, echoing marine gear like buoys and lifejackets. Built for both style and functionality, this durable case protects the timepiece during transport while proudly displaying the Bamford D-300 logo on its ends. 

The Bamford D-300 is available now, priced at £1,800 incl VAT.
