Classic Watch, Black Dial, Brown Leather – Braun BN0021

Braun BN0021 Classic Watch in black dial, brown leather: a men’s watch from the German design house whose watches and clocks were shaped by Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs.

New.

The Design Story

Braun’s classic watches go back to the work of Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams, whose watches and clocks of the 1970s and ’80s reduced telling time to its essentials. The BN0021 keeps that grammar: round case, legible numerals, a single dash of yellow on the second hand.

Why You’ll Love It

The black dial and warm brown leather make the high-contrast version of the BN0021: crisp enough for the office, relaxed enough for the weekend. It is a watch you stop noticing until someone asks about it, easy to read at a glance and quietly recognisable to anyone who knows design.

Made for Real Life

Give it a wipe with a soft cloth now and then, keep the leather dry. When the battery runs low, any good watch shop can swap it. At 5 ATM (50 m) it shrugs off rain and splashes. It isn’t built for diving, so we’d take it off to swim.
