If you know the British explorer and motivational speaker Ben Saunders, you know he’s not afraid of taking on the extreme. To date, the noted explorer has embarked on 12 expeditions in the Arctic, covering more than 7,000 kilometers in the process. Needless to say, extreme adventures require some extreme equipment – from the big things like tents to the little things like wristwatches.
Enter the Bremont Endurance Limited Edition Watch, designed by Ben Saunders himself. Water resistant to 500 meters with a helium escape valve, this COSC-certified chronometer sports a 43mm titanium case, anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, 42 hour power reserve, bi-directional rotating compass bezel, and GMT hand. The skeletonized and decorated rotor is also a nice touch.
Fittingly, the watch was named in honor of famed explorer Ernest Shackleton’s most famous expedition, Endurance, which was also the name of his ship crushed beyond repair in sea ice. Ben Saunders wears this watch over his coat on his Arctic expeditions to keep track of both time and direction. Although your adventures might not be as extreme as Saunders’s, now your watch can be. Available in June 2018, the Bremont Endurance is limited to 300 pieces and comes with both rubber and NATO straps.
