Briston expanded its Streamliner Urban collection with a 42mm chronograph that builds on the brand’s sport-chic language. The case stands out for its hybrid geometry, combining round and square contours in a form that’s both compact and architectural. Framed by a tonneau-shaped bezel fixed with four screws, the body features Briston’s hallmark tortoise shell cellulose acetate, contrasting with the integrated octagonal pushers and crown that keep the profile fluid and contained.

Dial-side, the embossed waffle pattern adds texture without compromising readability. Stamped Arabic numerals and recessed markers keep the layout crisp, while a date window at six o’clock picks up on the case’s barrel form. Four dial colours, black, white navy blue, ice blue, and taupe each matched with vulcanized rubber straps for a uniform finish that leans urban but stays casual.

A newly developed stainless steel bracelet offers an alternative fit, cut with straight-edged links, vertically brushed surfaces, and polished bevels. It connects cleanly to the case and secures with a folding clasp. The Streamliner Urban continues Briston’s shift toward a more technical, street-savvy presence while staying grounded in its material DNA and French design roots.

Briston Streamliner Urban Chrono Steel Black

Briston is a French watch brand founded in 2012 by Brice Jaunet, who spent over 15 years working with major names like Richemont and LVMH. His goal was simple: create a watch that brings together the classic feel of British sporting style with reliable, high-quality watchmaking. The signature look, the square “Clubmaster” cases, often made from acetate, gives Briston watches a vintage twist that stands out without trying too hard. Inspired by old-school racing, rowing clubs, and preppy fashion, Briston brings something refreshing to the world of casual luxury watches. It’s a design language that feels familiar but still manages to be distinctive, appealing to those who like a bit of personality on their wrist.

What makes Briston appealing is its balance of design and practicality. Inside the good looks are solid quartz or automatic movements from trusted Swiss or Japanese makers, so they’re not just about style—they’re built to last. The cases are lightweight yet durable, and the interchangeable straps make it easy to switch up your look. Whether you’re after a sporty chronograph or something simpler, Briston has options that feel thoughtful, well made, and easy to wear. It’s a brand for people who want something different, without compromising on quality or character.
