About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening.

William Wood's core dive-style collection (store product type and collection "Valiant Collection"); the five core editions are named after UK fire-service shift patterns. Brand specs (core-edition pages): 41mm, 15mm thick or 15.5mm including the raised double-domed sapphire, 49mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, 316L steel with brushed sides and lugs, unidirectional aluminium bezel with a strong click, laser-engraved caseback markings, TMI NH35 with date at 3 (TMI tolerance -20/+40 s/day, 41h), matte curved sandwich dial with cut-out indices over a green C3 Super- LumiNova layer, fire-bell seconds hand, fire-engine chequer seconds track, blue-tinted sapphire (the commemorative pages say double-sided AR), 100m. The crown is steel with a brass inset made from a 100-year-old British firefighter's helmet; Watch Report's 2021 hands-on says it screws down and lists a lumed 12 o'clock bezel dot. Thickness conflict: the commemorative-edition pages give 15mm, 16mm including the double-domed glass, and Watch Report lists 16mm; this file follows the 15.5mm on the brand's current core-edition pages. The Fire Watch and Extinguisher Watch (store collection "Fire Extinguisher Collection") share the case and movement but have layered textured dials and a stainless steel bezel (their spec text copies the aluminium-bezel line; the page summaries and photos show steel). Never Forget (25 years since 9/11; batch 1 sold out, batch 2 on pre-order for delivery 18 January 2027) has a black-plated case, a moulded New York skyline dial with lumed light beams and a pressed skyline caseback with a 9.11 cut-out. Great Fire of London has a £2 Great Fire of London coin under glass in the caseback. Big Red Fire Engine, made with comedian Adam Hills, is limited to 300 (the page says the first 100 were in stock and 200 on pre-order) and shares its Australian fire-engine dial and bezel print with the South Australian Country Fire Service watch. The fire-service and association editions are the core editions or the Fire/Extinguisher Watch with the organisation's crest on a pressed, printed or exhibition caseback; their listings offer the dials named in dial_color, and the single-dial ones are recorded from their photos. The brand calls the FDNY, NFFF, IAFF and Worshipful Company (35th anniversary) pieces limited editions but gives no numbers. Most were made to order with 4-week to 3-month build times; editions marked unknown were sold out on the review date. The IAFC listing says its GBP price follows the USD/CAD exchange rate daily. The Hollywood Fire Rescue Centennial listing (delivered June 2024) was added in review; the store import had not drafted it. Every listing offers upcycled fire-hose straps in several colours or a fire-gear strap at the same price, all 20mm quick-release. Product texts still mention a steel bracelet with extra links, but the FAQ says the bracelets are discontinued. Watch Report also mentions a Sellita SW200 version announced for late 2021, which is not on the store. No weight published. Prices are the store's GBP prices; the product pages show the same figures.
