Nautica BFD 100 collection

This year, bold, bright colour is the focus of the captivating Nautica BFD 100 collection. Available in multifunction and date only designs, each BFD 100 features an eye-catching, coloured resin strap that makes a bold fashion statement. The engaging designs are sporty and functional with authentic dive style details, including a turning top ring with oversized numbers, a sport dial with luminous option, and large luminous hands and markers that match the strap colour.

The BFD multi features a Japanese multifunction movement with day, date, and 24-hour subdials, and boasts a mega-sized 50mm case, while the date only version showcases a big date window at 6 o’clock in a slightly smaller 46mm case. Both are water resistant up to 100 meters.

Signature details include open-design hands with luminous arrow tips that provide a quick read in any environment and the J-Class sail etched on crown. But the real story is the bright colours. The multi is available in black, orange, yellow, navy blue, sea blue, lime green, purple and white, while the date adds fuscia, to the spectrum of choices.
