Rowing Blazers and Bamford London have teamed up again, channeling childhood nostalgia into a sleek, horological collectible. The limited-edition Rowing Blazers x Bamford Babar GMT Watch is a whimsical nod to the beloved storybook elephant, Babar, who boldly appears on the black dial in his signature green suit and crown.
But don’t let the playful design fool you—this watch packs serious specs. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, the Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement powers it. This movement offers a robust 56-hour power reserve and GMT functionality to track a second time zone easily. An internal rotating bezel in two green tones adds a refined pop of color, echoing Babar’s iconic outfit.
More than just a fun accessory, this GMT is built for everyday wear with a 100-meter water resistance rating, quick-set date function, and stainless steel case back. It’s a conversation starter and a practical timekeeper for globetrotters and collectors alike. Each watch is packaged in a custom-designed box, which doubles as a collectible. Limited to 99 individually numbered pieces, priced at $2,348, it is made to order and will ship between 6/23/25 and 7/11/25.
This collaboration isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about celebrating design that dares to be different. Whether you grew up flipping through Babar books or want a standout piece for your collection, this watch hits the sweet spot between playful and premium.
