Royal Marines Experimental | First Gen | Arctic IX.5 PRE-ORDER

Royal Marines Experimental Watch Programme

Developed in collaboration with the Commando Force, the Royal Marines Experimental Watch Programme delivers timepieces built for real-world operations. Designed for Arctic extremes, mountain ranges, and remote coastal outposts, each model is engineered to meet military standards.

The programme is divided into two generations. The first generation features the Operator Mk-1 and Arctic IX.5, tailored for stealth and cold-weather operations. 

Bowman London is proud to unveil a remarkable milestone in this journey — a commissioned collection developed with the prestigious 30 Commando IX Group Royal Marines, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron. This partnership represents an extraordinary honour, celebrating the elite standards and legacy of the Royal Marines Commandos.

This exclusive release pays tribute to the discipline, precision, and resilience that define Britain’s most elite forces. Each timepiece is meticulously designed to embody the spirit of 30 Commando IX Group, blending military heritage with Bowman London’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Originally created for the Commando Force, these watches are now available to those who value dependable equipment and the quiet professionalism of the Royal Marines. This is more than a watch — it’s a symbol of British resilience, tradition, and national pride.
