Brigadier Automatic

Vintage Military Style, Automatic Movement

The Brigadier

The Brigadier references to the past with a range of details, such as its brownish vintage luminescent pigment. Inspired by the field watch, one of the most classic military pieces, the Brigadier adds a touch of sophistication with hand-applied metal indices.

Don't be fooled by its stylish looks, it's the perfect expedition watch, but then again, it’ll look just as good at the office.

Military Inspiration

We've always been captivated by vintage objects, notably watches. The military has always been a source of innovation in terms of design usability and robustness. Naturally, vintage military watches was one of our main source of inspiration for the Pioneer Collection.

The Field Watch

High legibility is the #1 priority here. The field watch is characterized by its large numerals stamped on the dial. Here, we polished the classic look with hand-applied metal indices, and we replaced some of the numerals with stick markers.

Our Mission

Helgray was founded on the belief that classic style shouldn't be restricted to impractical and expensive old watches.

Inspired by vintage timepieces, our watches are powered by the best Swiss and Japan movements. In doing so, each one of our product is affordable, accurate, and virtually maintenance-free.

Quality Materials

If there is one thing we did not compromise on, it's quality: stainless steel (grade 316L) case, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, Japanese automatic movement, diamond-cut hands, Super-LumiNova luminescent pigment, calfskin leather band.

Practical

The Japanese automatic self-winding movement powering the Brigadier offers impressive time-keeping accuracy, and low maintenance. The Calibre NH35 is made by Seiko and promises an uncomplicated ownership.

Styled after vintage military watches, the Brigadier brings back a classic look in an updated package. The versatile 42mm case is easily dressed up or down depending on your needs.

Luminescence

One of the key requirements of military watches is the presence of luminescent pigment on the dial and hands. Luminescence allows one to read the time accurately even in very poor or low-light conditions. It can come in very handy during a critical mission... or a midnight run to the convenience store.
