The first clues that something unusual lurks inside the Beachmaster’s 40 mm case are the external bezel, which counts anticlockwise, and a second, inner bezel, that counts from zero to 12 both clockwise and anticlockwise.
What’s going on here, is a patented ‘mission timer’ that can be set to count down to an event taking place in up to 12 hours’ time, then count up for 12 hours to show how long it has been since the event started. The event could be a rocket launch, a beach landing or a sailing race. It’s up to you.
The Poole, Dorset-based company explains: “Working with the GMT 24h hand the split internal bezel counts down up to 12 hours to mission start, H hour, then automatically counts up to 12 hours.”

Preparing for secondary, shorter missions? The Beachmaster also has you covered, as the company also explains: “Hours, minutes and seconds can also be utilised for shorter mission timing periods concurrently with the 60-minute external countdown bezel. The possibilities are almost limitless but also incredibly simple to use, such as counting down to the start of a sailing race.”
Watch fans may recall how theRolex Yacht-Master IIalso has a complication for counting down to the start of a sailing race, but in that case the timer can only be set for up to 10 minutes, although the timer itself is configured to start automatically.
