A very impressive Quartz watch
I have a number of watches, most of them mechanical, a number of them Swiss made, and some more expensive than this Blenheim London model.The watch here is very good quality, irrelevant of the price point, from the domed sapphire Chrystal to the tight knit mesh bracelet which does not catch any of my arms hairs.Its only a Quartz mechanism, so nothing special like a 7750 ETA inside, but even this is Swiss made, which is a nice thing to have.The lume is only average at best - but this is not a diving watch so can easily be overlooked.It is presented in a leather case, with multiple layers of protection on the watch its self to prevent any damage in transit.However - there was no instruction booklet - a quick search shows that pulling out the crown to the 2nd point then pressing the 2 stopwatch buttons together for 3 seconds puts the watch into "setting" mode, where single presses of the buttons moves the stopwatch hands second by second so they can be lined up properly - mine was set to start and reset at the 58 second mark.Overall, a very impressive Quartz watch, and a great addition to my collection.

Classy Blenheim watch
Never heard of Blenheim London watches until I saw their watches on Amazon , I liked that the Chronometer Pilot watch had a sapphire crystal and a Ronda Z60 movement , I have about 80 watches and decided to take the plunge and add this watch to my collection . The watch came wrapped in cellophane for protection and in a leatherette brown presentation box , when I finally removed all the wrapping I was impressed with it's looks , the sapphire crystal is unusual as it doesn't sit flush with the case but is raised like a dome and it also looks quite good , I only hope I don't catch it on anything , the case itself is Matt black and the mesh bracelet has a shinier finish , I also like that the face is really clear and can be seen quite well in the dark , on the underside of the watch there is an etching of a WW2 Blenheim bomber which supposedly influenced the design of the watch . I think this watch is excellent value for money with it's Swiss movement and Sapphire crystal , I also think it is a good quality made watch , I haven't noticed any manufacturing flaws . As a new company founded in 2015 they are committed to bringing us good quality watches at a fair price I think they're doing a great job and they're a British based company .
