Presentation of Beaufort Watches

Beaufort stands to invigorate the present with designs inspired by the past. Our watches hone modern build quality and are matched with vintage design cues. A combination of being robust and elegant. Beaufort is about far more than just quality watches. This brand stands to invigorate the present with designs from the past. With our first watch release (the Aerotimer) we have fused a variety of WWII era design cues with modern features to create a high-quality modern wristwatch. The goal was to create a timeless watch that fits all the criteria of what we would look for in a watch. A watch with a great story, captivating design, and one that over-delivers on its specifications given the price range.

History of Beaufort Watches

Founded in 2018

Beaufort Watches is a New Zealand based watch company - Named after the ‘Bristol Beaufort’, a WWII torpedo bomber that was mainly operated by the British, Australian, and New Zealand Air Forces. As a New Zealand brand, it only felt right to name the brand after a piece of New Zealand’s military heritage. The Bristol Beaufort was an RAF aircraft, developed and built in the UK (later also produced in Australia), and was in service in the New Zealand Air Force from 1941-1942. RAF aircraft were operated by 489 (NZ) Squadron. The RAF variant was the Beaufort Mk I.
