From Fears

Boutique & Club Exclusive Please note: the Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Boutique Edition' has now been discontinued and has entered the Fears Archive - very limited pieces are left remaining (if you would like any further information please contact us ) Hand built in England. Taking its name from the Bristol street where the company was first founded in 1846, the new Fears Redcliff Collection is designed to be an elegant and sophisticated everyday timepiece. Case : 39.5mm, 316L stainless steel, brushed and polished , 20mm lug width Dial : Mallard green, sunburst finish, white printing with silver accents Bracelet : 3-link, stainless steel bracelet with screw links and fold-over clasp with micro-adjust (plus both a blue and a tan textile strap) Movement : LJP G100, time and date, automatic, 68hr power reserve Water Resistance : 150 metres (15 ATM) CASE The Redcliff 39.5 Date is housed in a contemporary round case with integrated lugs alongside a screw-down case back, bezel and crown. Spanning 39.5mm in diameter yet with a case thickness of only 9.98mm, this slim case combines a bushed middle-section with the polished finish of the bezel's graceful profile. CASEBACK The Redcliff 39.5 Date comes with the option of either: Open exhibition caseback - offering an unobstructed view of the finely decorated movement (and custom Fears Blue rotor adorned with the Bristol flower). Closed caseback - offering the perfect canvas for personalisation with a custom engraving (please discover engraving options here ). DIAL The Redcliff 39.5 Date ‘Boutique Edition’ features a Mallard Green dial that now becomes the third-offering in Fears’ series of boutique editions. This special dark green has hints of grey and blue that recreates the rich colours that adorn the head of the mallard drake duck. Expertly made in Germany, the colour of the dial is achieved using a galvanic coating of 99.9% pure silver before being hand-painted with a translucent varnish which incorporates drops of pigment to produce the exact desired tone. The main section of the dial features a sunburst finish to the surface with a finely-milled CNC grooves on the lowered chapter ring. White and silver printing contrast brightly against this unique take on green and ensure that despite sharing an exclusive colour, each of Fears ‘Boutique Editions’ are uniquely different. At 3 o’clock a date window is cut into the dial revealing a colour-matched date disc featuring numerals in our own bespoke ‘Edwin’ typeset. The window itself features a shallow bevel running around all four sides to aide legibility whilst reading the date and gives the optical illusion of it appearing larger. The baton indexes are crafted from a block of brass before being diamond polished and coated in precious rhodium. The 12 o'clock index also features a subtle reference to another great Bristolian historical reference (the shape and form of the towers that hoist the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge). Each indices has been hand-filled with X1-Grade Super-LumiNova in Switzerland before being carefully hand-applied to the dial. HANDS The Redcliff 39.5 Date's distinctive ‘ Fears ’-shaped hands are tri-bevelled and diamond polished before in this example being finished in a coating of rhodium (thus matching the indices). During the day the tri-bevelled edges will catch the light brilliantly, allowing the time to be read easily. Whilst in low-light conditions, the bright X1-Grade lume (a first for the core collection) glows with a strong blue colour colour and stays charged throughout the night - making for the perfect travelling companion. MOVEMENT The Redcliff 39.5 Date is powered by a customised Swiss-made, automatic La Joux-Perret G100 movement. Winding itself when worn on the wrist this movement features a quick-set date, a generous power reserve of 68 hours and a decorated winding rotor. BRACELET & STRAPS The Redcliff 39.5 Date comes with both a bespoke 3-link stainless steel bracelet or a pewter grey barenia leather
