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.

  • Dial: Pewter Grey, vertically brushed, black printing with cyan accents
  • Bracelet: 3-link, stainless steel bracelet with screw links and fold-over clasp with micro-adjust / Azurro blue, barenia calf leather, handmade (plus dark-grey 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. The proportions of the case and its integrated lugs help ensure the watch will perfectly fit the contours of any wrist.

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 Pewter Grey features a warm, mid-grey dial that complements the tone of the 316L steel case perfectly.

Expertly made in Germany, the main section of the dial features a hand-brushed vertical finish to the surface with a finely-milled CNC grooves on the lowered chapter ring. The rhodium coating is complemented by sharp black printing with soothing cyan for the minute numerals (and matching seconds hand). 

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 then coated in black gold, giving them a warm, grey/black appearance. The 12 o'clock index also features a subtle reference to another great Bristolian historical reference (the shape and form of the towers that hoist the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge).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 Pewter Grey's distinctive ‘Fears’-shaped hands are tri-bevelled and diamond polished before in this example being finished in a coating of black gold (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 Azurro blue barenia leather strap, and with either choice will also be accompanied by and a 3D-woven textile strap.

Bracelet

Featuring solid screw links, the bracelet combines brushed and polished elements and has a substantial feel while the silky-smooth movement of the links ensure a comfortable fit around the wrist. The bracelet can be adjusted for a perfect fit with both 6mm and 8mm screw links but also adjusted 'on the move' via a push button micro-adjustment featured located within the trigger-release fold-over clasp. This ensures a comfortable fit always.

The perfect fit!

When you purchase a Redcliff 39.5 Date we can adjust the bracelet size for you before sending it. Please contact us by email with your order number and wrist size and we’ll do the rest. We will provide any spare links in an envelope with your watch.

Leather Strap

Each Redcliff 39.5 Date Pewter Grey can be fitted with a handmade Azurro Blue strap crafted from Barenia leather. Presented in Azzuro Blue, an Italian-named vibrant colour that is halfway between blue and cyan (perfectly complementing the seconds hand). The blue has a contrasting platinum stitch that enhances the summery feel of the strap.

The premium leather used for this strap takes its name from the village of Barr in Alsace, from where it originates. Traditionally used for saddles, this smooth calfskin leather requires a complex tanning process, known by only a small number of craftsmen.

Lined in genuine Alcantara® dyed a deep shade of blue, this lining is supremely soft against the skin yet resistant against wear. This strap is finished with Fears' new bespoke pin buckle (featuring the Fears Cypher).

Extra Strap

Included with each Redcliff 39.5 Date is a woven textile strap made from a tightly 3D woven nylon material with an Alcantara lining, quick-release spring bars and finished with Fears' new bespoke pin buckle (featuring the Fears Cypher). 

Customise

You can customise your Redcliff 39.5 Date with any strap designed for a 20mm lug width, including any strap from our range, which you can easily fit yourself without tools.

    INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED

    Each watch we make carries a unique serial number. Engraved between the 20mm lugs at 12 o’clock, this number helps us identify your watch and its history.

    AMOS BOX

    All Fears watches are presented in a slim, rectangular, wooden box made of solid ash and stained in our bespoke shade of blue. This luxury box was inspired by traditional slim Fears watch boxes used in the past, in which the watch lies flat. Recognising the companies heritage, we called this box the Amos, after the names of both the 2nd and 3rd Managing Directors.

    The top of the box is discretely engraved with the Fears logo and features a gentle bevel around its edges, whilst the interior is lined in genuine cream suede. The box is secured by a polished chrome push button, keeping your watch safe and secure.

    ENGRAVED PERSONAL TO YOU

    Fears offers an engraving service whereby a watch can be made personal to its new owner. We work with one of the UK's leading 3D laser engravers who can engrave initials, a date, or a special verse on your watch.
