Been thinking of pulling the plug on one of these beauties for a couple of years now, it’s very blue and retro.

I’ve had my eye on a Straton for a while. I fancy the auto in that colour but I keep talking myself out of it…

Great looking things. If you do get one, please post details - I’d be very interested

I have an older Straton:



Sorry for the not-great photo. Sun is just coming up here and the sun shades are keeping what is out isnt making it into my office. However, it should show what it is. Its meaty in weight, quality in construction and has been robust. This is the hybrid model with quartz and automatic movements so its tall. But very pleased with it and its been a good watch. Have been looking at another to add to the collection.

And yes, I know that the time and date is wrong - the battery ran out a couple of months ago and I havent had the chance to replace it yet. But overall, I recommend Straton watches - its been a good one!

Great information. Thanks - always good to hear the thoughts and opinions of someone who has owned one

Where did you get it from? Japanese import...?

I got mine from Sakura Watches as they were quite a bit cheaper. Shipped and got here within a week by DHL. No customs yet, but they normally catch up to you after a few weeks.

Emphasised the blue on this one with a Rios sharkskin strap.

Blue one for today...




PS - not scratched or dinged. Just odd reflections.

What’s the story behind these? Never heard of Elliot Brown, but I did go to Canford School, am a supporter of the RNLI and it looks like a rather nice watch.

What a great trio! Versatile and functional, and all different enough from each other

I bought a brown Red Star Bullhead recently, but there's a blue one too.
