For some of you that do not know the Dreadnought here is where it started.
In August of 2003 something happened in the watch world which caused a lot of people to take notice of a small independent watchmaker from Sheffield in England. That something was the birth of a dive watch called the PRS-2 Dreadnought and that small independent watchmaker was Eddie Platts of Timefactors. Like the nuclear powered submarine it was named after, the limited edition of 200 Dreadnoughts appeared on the market swiftly and silently, and in an instant they were gone, leaving many people wondering what they had missed.
It should be noted the aforemention was taken from Dr Peter McClean Millar and if you would like to read the full review/history of the Dreadnought here is the link..http://www.prs2dreadnought.com/review.htm
1. Case Fricker Blast Finish.
2. It is 53mm from lug to lug, 49mm wide including the crown and 16mm high. The sapphire crystal is 3mm thick and sits proud of the bezel.
3. Lug 22mm
4. The Dreadnought uses the upgraded (Top) ETA 2824-2 which has been adjusted and regulated to DIN 8319 / ISO 3159 Chronometer standard by Master Watchmaker Dirk Dornblueth.
You will see the Dread with a black rubber strap which is from my Rasmus. Noted the Rasmus uses the same case as the Dread, so I thought I would try it and it fits perfect.
