The Bamford x Land Rover LR002 timepiece is a collaboration accessory designed with the Land Rover Defender SUV and the watch brand's expertise in mind. The timepiece draws inspiration from a series of military aesthetics and puts an all-black titanium case with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating in the spotlight. The watch is powered by the Selita SW-2001B automatic movement that's supported by a 41-hour power reserve, while the 40mm case size and fixed bars make it a true statement on the wrist.
The Bamford x Land Rover LR002 timepiece is comfortable for wear on the majority of wrist sizes when used with the NATO-like strap. Priced at $1,700, the watch is limited to a mere 100 examples and is available for purchase from The Hodinkee Shop.
