THE CONCEPT

The Freese 101 Mark II follows on from the popular Freese 101, which in turn was loosely based on the classic Rolex 5513 Submariner.

Further inspiration for the Freese 101 Mark II comes from how its creator, Simon Freese, believes a watch should look and feel, particularly one which can be worn as a daily wearer.

The aim was to create a simple, robust and reliable timepiece, which can be worn and enjoyed every day.

THE DESIGN

The Freese 101 Mark II is the first Freese watch to feature a bespoke stainless-steel case, which has been completely manufactured in the UK.

The design of the case makes the watch extremely robust and offers a good level of shock resistance. Three holes added to the reverse of the case back allow the wearer easy access to the movement with any standard three-pin watch case opener.

The dial is hand-finished and the watch is powered by the Swiss-made and extremely reliable Sellita SW200 manual wind movement.

The Freese name on the dial carries with it a solid reputation for craftmanship and reliability, and its accompanying 4-year warranty means you can wear and enjoy the watch with complete peace of mind.
