The Elliot Brown Holton Auto GMT: 101-A24 ‘Black Whiteout’ (£915) is the bold and rugged sibling to the OG WHITEOUT, combining the spirit of adventure with an undeniable sense of style. With its fully lumed dial set in a matte vapour-blasted gunmetal grey case, this watch captures the essence of a true tool watch designed for military-grade reliability. It’s a timepiece that exudes purposeful clarity and tactile precision, perfect for anyone who demands the best from their gear.
The dial of the Holton Auto GMT is one of its standout features. Flooded with SuperLuminova BGW9, it glows a crisp, snowy white by day and shifts to an icy blue after dark, ensuring maximum visibility in any condition. Bold black hour markers and hands contrast beautifully against the lumed dial, while the red 12-hour index triangle and matching red seconds hand tip add just the right amount of colour. The anti-reflective matt dial guarantees clarity day or night, making this watch the ultimate companion for any adventure.
At 43mm, the stainless steel case is finished with a matte gunmetal PVD coating, providing both durability and an understated yet stylish look. The ultra-high grip, unidirectional 24-hour bezel features a 120-click mechanism and a case-hardened insert engraved and backfilled with luminous white markings, glowing ice blue in low-light conditions. The recessed crown, positioned at the 4 o’clock mark, is deeply set to protect it from any impacts, further enhancing the watch’s rugged design.
Powering the Holton Auto GMT is the Japanese-made Seiko NH34 automatic movement, housed within Elliot Brown’s unique anti-shock system. This movement boasts a 40-hour power reserve, ensuring that the watch remains accurate and reliable even during the toughest conditions. The scratch-resistant 2mm sapphire crystal, treated with internal anti-reflective coating, and bolted-down caseback add to the watch’s impressive durability.
The watch is fitted with a ‘B09’ three-link 316L stainless steel bracelet that features easy-change solid screw-in strap bars and a neat micro-extension system hidden within the clasp. The clasp is engraved and infilled with a white EB shield that glows blue, providing an elegant yet functional detail. Additionally, the durable EPDM rubber strap offers versatility for any adventure.
The Holton Auto GMT ‘Black Whiteout’ is water-resistant to 200m (660ft), making it suitable for any off-grid exploration. Whether you’re heading into the wild or simply appreciating its military pedigree, this watch offers unmatched fit-for-purpose functionality and style. And for those who serve, Elliot Brown offers a 20% discount to military and ‘blue light’ personnel, as a token of appreciation for their dedication.
