BŌKEN Watches is proud to announce the launch of the Breacher—a precision-engineered tool watch born from an uncompromising commitment to real-world usability. From the very start, we made it essential that this watch could truly go anywhere, maintaining a proper 200M depth rating to ensure reliability in any environment. With a bold yet refined 39mm case, robust construction, and a no-nonsense aesthetic, the Breacher is a true embodiment of adventure-ready versatility.


More than just a watch, the Breacher represents a major milestone for BŌKEN—it is the first BŌKEN timepiece to be Built British, developed and assembled in the UK in collaboration with Horologium, a leader in British watchmaking. This partnership ensures that the Breacher not only meets the highest standards of craftsmanship but also reinforces the resurgence of British horology.

Designed by Nacho Fernandez and Daniel Banks, the Breacher was created through an extensive development process that involved collaboration with a select group of trusted friends from the online watch community. Influential voices, including @handsandbezel, @watchesandbooze, @lifestylewatches, Guy Parker from @12&60, @Watchesandcountry, and @watchesandnatos, provided valuable insight, helping refine the details to ensure the Breacher meets the highest expectations of real-world watch enthusiasts.


 

"The Breacher is our most refined and capable timepiece yet," says Daniel, Founder of BŌKEN. "We designed it to be worn anywhere—from the depths of the wild to the heart of the city. Every detail is built with purpose, and we’re proud to say it’s a watch that is truly Built British."

What the Watch Community is Saying

The Breacher has already turned heads among watch enthusiasts who’ve had an exclusive first look at its design.


Terry Pritchard, CEO of Charter HCP: “As an established watch collector, I have got to the stage where I look for a timepiece that offers something different, will last the test of time and is stylish and well made. The Breacher range of watches ticks all those boxes and more. I also love the fact that it is British built!”

 

Danny Rab (@WatchesAndBooze): "The only everyday watch you need, from print to clasp it will surprise you! BŌKEN just created a cheat code."

 

David St John-Claire (@TheWatchBloke): “BŌKEN has delivered big with the Breacher—Built British, rugged, and ready for anything. From the same genius minds that gave us the formidable Odyssey, this is a true tool watch made for real-world adventure. Whether you go for the no-nonsense Time Only, the travel-ready GMT, or the stealthy Black Ops GMT, every detail is dialed in for peak performance.


With a case and bracelet finish on par with Rolex, 39mm of pure excellence, and input from some of the best in the watch community, the Breacher isn’t just another release—it’s a statement.”
