In a bold fusion of horology and sport, British watchmaker Bōken and premium gin brand Blackeye—founded by rugby heavyweights Mike Tindall, James Haskell, and Alex Payne—have unveiled a stealth-luxe limited edition: the Phantom Breacher GMT. It’s not just a watch—it’s a tribute to victory, precision, and purpose. Built for collectors who prefer edge over excess, this ruggedly refined timepiece will drop exclusively at the Time for Tries & Tonics charity event on November 7th at The Other House in London.
The timepiece is based on Bōken’s Breacher Black Ops platform, famed for its tough, minimalist silhouette and durable DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. But the Phantom Breacher levels up with supercharged orange Super-LumiNova accents that blaze in low light, pairing covert styling with a splash of character. At the heart of the watch is a Swiss-made Sellita movement, delivering reliable GMT functionality for tracking two time zones—ideal for world travelers and rugby fans who hop continents to catch matches.
Only 42 units of this limited edition will be produced, symbolizing England’s 42 victories in Rugby World Cup history. Each purchase supports the Blackeye Rugby Fund, an initiative close to the founders’ hearts that uplifts underserved rugby communities through grassroots programs.
Tactile, precise, and unapologetically bold, the Phantom Breacher GMT proves that a watch can be both a personal statement and a force for good. Priced at $3,611, it’s a rare grail for collectors who want substance behind the style—and a story that runs deeper than the dial.
