Raw Bronze Beater B3
Watches£3,180.00The Beater is an everyday bronze watch stripped of complications. It is designed to be worn without the anxiety of wear because the case is made to age gracefully over time. This is Batch 3 of the Bronze Beater or BBB3.
The case back of the new B3 took 120 hours of work to complete and the 3 hours of laser engraving per piece really shows in the quality of the finished article. These tiny canvases are hidden to the outside world, known only to a select group of owners and collectors.
The new crown, with its exquisite gold nail groove draws your attention to the tiny shining rim on the blue dial. This level of attention to detail is synonymous with the Schofield brand.
One case, two finishes and you can choose. The raw bronze watch case has been blasted with a coarse medium that creates a wonderful, slightly sparkly, finish. This will not last long as these cases are designed for those that want the grease of everyday life to change the character of the metal over time. The patinated variety of the bronze watch case is just the same as the raw but has undergone further treatment. To obtain the stabilised oxide coating we dip the raw bronze into baths of dyes and acids which, after washing the cases are burnished to reveal the raw metal in select places – bezel, sides and the edges of the lugs. The patinated finish is permanent with your own scratches and chemistry adding to the character over time.
The bronze Beater is a bronze watch which is evocative of all that is marine and seaworthy. This is clearly seen in its colours, the inky blue of the ocean’s depths, the bronze synonymous with marine engineering and the elements of light like a night sky, complement one another and form a coherent whole. Patination, whether earned or forced, is a mark of time passed. It is a watch that reflects and represents time with both its tick and colour. It is surely an example of modern treasure.
Powered by a Swiss automatic, ETA 2824-2, the watch is essentially a two and a half hander featuring our Sign-Of-Life seconds hand. The case is 44mm in diameter with a deep laser engraving on the back. The price shown is with UK VAT, if you are outside of Europe then VAT will be deducted at the checkout. The large image is of the Beater B2 – give us a few days to update it. If you would like more images let us know.
- The dials are double blue with a gold perimeter and centre
- Luminescent numerals and hour markers
- Hands are brushed bronze with little thorns as counterpoises
- There is a small line printed on the centre cap – this is the Sign Of Life second hand
- The Beater is made in small batches and each case is hand-finished, therefore every one is slightly different, a one off
- The case back is fully engraved with a new isometric and 3D design
- Your choice of strap
- It comes with a Murky Earth ceramic coated buckle fitted
- The box is Osmo finish ash, the queen of English timbers

Pale Earth Ventile
Straps£126.00Ventile is an amazing material with a long pedigree going back to the 1930s. Made from 100% cotton using a long staple fibre, the yarn is woven into a very dense Oxford weave, using up to 30% more yarn than conventional woven fabrics. It is not coated or laminated. The combination of the dense weave and the swelling properties of the fibres when wet provide excellent weatherproofing. It also offers a high level of comfort and is waterproof, windproof, but breathable, durable and quiet in use. It also has strong resistance to tearing and burning. Initially developed to protect pilots bailing out into the sea during the Second World War, the material was also used by Hillary and Tenzing in their 1953 Everest ascent.
All our watch straps come with an engraved Schofield buckle fitted, and all straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers. If you regularly change straps then we urge you to buy some Schofield drivers, purpose made for changing straps on Schofield watches.

The Daymark Dark
Watches£3,840.00The Daymark Dark is an automatic watch with the same case dimensions as our classic Signalman and the other members of the Markers range. Although it has been made from one piece of vapour-blasted stainless steel, the shine and sheen of the Daymark’s case have been sullied by the darkness. A ceramic coating has been applied which introduces the foreboding of the English coastline’s rocky outcrops. Changing the colour changes the atmosphere from one of steely austerity to one of understatement. If the Daymark is a tower rising above the landscape, the Daymark Dark is its shadow, gloomy perhaps but not drab. It is the Daymark’s silhouette. It is the Daymark at night, barely perceptible against the darkness of the night sky and yet present all the same.
The crown is a pull-out type and in the gallery below you can see a nail notch milled into the case. There is also a deep groove running around the circumference of the crown. These two details make it easy to pull the crown out. This groove also indicates the ‘affordance’, the action required of the crown, teeth to show rotation and the groove to show pulling in and out.
The ceramic coating which is used on the Daymark Dark was chosen for several reasons, including how it looks and its scratch and chemical resistance. Firstly, its ‘traditional matte’ coating that is in the lowest band of gloss that is possible to attain by modern standards. In terms of scratch resistance it is, again, right at one end of the spectrum as it clocks in at a 9H in the Pencil Hardness Test used for coatings which is the most scratch resistant that a coating can be rated. When sprayed continuously with water two and a half times as saline as seawater the ceramic coating was over ten times as resistant to corrosion as stainless steel.
Powered by a Swiss automatic, ETA 2824, the watch is a 3-hander, hours, minutes and seconds. The case has a 44mm diameter with an exhibition case back. The price shown is with UK VAT. If you are outside of Europe then VAT will be deducted at the checkout.

Dark Red Cricket Ball
Straps£168.00The Schofield cricket ball straps takes inspiration from the stitching patterns used in cricket ball fabrication and is made from the same leather used by Dukes in their Special County “A” – Grade 1 – cricket balls. In the world of cricket two names are synonymous with the craft of ball making. In the southern hemisphere the Kookaburra ball is pre-eminent while in the Northern hemisphere we have the Dukes Cricket Ball. The Dukes Special County “A” – Grade 1 – Red cricket ball is used exclusively for Test Matches in England as well as all First Class County Cricket.

The Telemark
Watches£3,600.00The Telemark, forming the Markers range along with the Daymark and Daymark Dark, is characterised by the one piece, German made stainless steel case. A nail notch milled into the side for pulling out the crown. Dials that feature chapter rings and oversized hands designed for clarity. This is a set of white watches for telling the time!
The Telemark is influenced by the classic war film The Heroes of Telemark which is often cited as one of the best-dressed men’s films of all time.
The white, an obvious starting point, calling on the Norwegian fjords and the persistent snow, contrasts with our first fully numerated dial with a black pixel font reminiscent of Bauhaus design and AEG industrial clocks. Known as a submarine dial it has been designed for low light readability. The hour markers in the chapter ring are black anodised and filled with SuperLumi-Nova C5. The overall asymmetrical dial layout is a reference to the watch Kirk Douglas wore in the movie. The date is notable for being reprinted to read horizontally in the 4:30 position. The surrounding graphic is a modification of the Unicode symbol for a lighthouse (used on the Markers’ crown) but which also resembles a naval contact mine.
Powered by a Swiss movement, ETA 2824, the Telemark is a 3-hander, hours, minutes and seconds and date function. The case has a 44mm diameter with a solid engraved case back. The price shown is with UK VAT, if you are outside of Europe then VAT will be deducted at the checkout.

The Six Pips podcast is a natural extension of what we do here at Schofield. While others seek to conceal, we reveal and this new horology podcast is no exception. We are the first and only watch company to open our doors in this way and so we invite you to join Schofield’s founder Giles Ellis on a journey through the world of British watches.
Topics ranging from English watchmaking’s past to Schofield’s present and future are sure to enthral as every episode divulges new undisclosed details. If you’ve ever wanted a backdoor entrance to the sometimes secretive world of horology then look no further than the Six Pips podcast.
Disruptive British watches
British watches can so often conform to expectations. Schofield Watch Company is sometimes naughty.
We were the first British watch company to develop a carbon fibre watch in the Blacklamp and the first watch company in the world to develop its own in-house podcast: The Six Pips. Having been at the forefront of the British watchmaking establishment for nearly a decade, we understand what it takes to manufacture innovative watches and our pioneering attitude have set us apart from the rest of the pack.
We haven’t got where we are today by resting on our laurels. Be it the black ceramic coating on the Daymark Dark or the force patination of the new Bronze Beater B3, we are a British watch company which continues to experiment with different materials and finishes to produce outstanding English watches.
We are English watch makers to our very core, residing in the Sussex countryside not far from the sea, the beauty of which can be seen in our work. Every item and touch point of this very British business has a story behind each detail and all details are realised by thinking.
Using Swiss movements, we fuse the best of European manufacturing with our own English designs. Giles Ellis, Schofield’s founder and Principal Keeper, personally oversees every stage of a watch’s development, from concept to creation, ensuring that all we make is treasure.
Some of our watches are made in England, others in Germany. Some are bronze, steel and occasionally carbon fibre or ceramic. Some have numbers on the dials, some do not, some are manual wind but most often automatic.
Schofield watches are made by thinking. Every decision is reasoned. No stone is left unturned. Within these pages you will see that all we make is treasure
