Paul Bowman London is proud to introduce the Dreadnought Class, Jolly Roger Special Edition Collection, celebrating 110 years usage of The Jolly Roger symbol's storied place in Royal Navy history. This collection captures the daring spirit and rich legacy of the Silent Service, transforming a once-feared emblem into a badge of honour and naval excellence.
The tradition began in 1914 when Lieutenant Commander Max Horton of HMS E9 flew the Jolly Roger upon returning from a successful mission against the German warship SMS Hela. This audacious act was a direct response to Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson's dismissive remarks likening submariners to pirates. Horton's defiance established a proud tradition where submarine crews raise the flag to commemorate their victories.
The Dreadnought Class, Jolly Roger Special Edition watches feature a striking triple-black design, with a 40 mm military-grade steel case, a sophisticated black stainless steel bracelet, and an eye-catching black sunburst dial. Powered by the precision-engineered SII Corporation Mechanical/Hybrid VK63A movement and certified by Paul Bowman London, these watches exemplify reliability and craftsmanship. Luminous hands and markers, along with a luminous 24-hour sub-dial at 3 o’clock, a 60-minute sub-dial at 9 o’clock and 60 second sub-dial at 6, ensuring clarity and functionality.
The case back boasts a custom design featuring the iconic skull with cross torpedoes, symbolising the stealth and power of the Royal Navy's submarines. Built with a screw-down case back and offering 100 meters of water resistance, these timepieces are as robust as they are elegant. Each watch in the collection comes with a 5-year warranty, reflecting our commitment to quality and assurance.
Celebrate a century of bravery and innovation with the Dreadnought Class, Jolly Roger Special Edition—a fitting tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Royal Navy.
