The chain link embellishment in the case sides represents unity and cohesion; the enamel shield medallion on the case back, resilience and honour; and the sword-like hands courage and precision; qualities that are as important today as they were a thousand years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese design choices combined with the classic cushion case silhouette and box sapphire crystal offer a level of elegance and beauty rarely achieved in a modern dress watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel and white colourway is one of three variants which form a tribute to the Black Country (a nickname for the wider area that encompasses Oldbury and its industrial neighbours). The white recognises the area’s famous glassworks such as Chance Brothers and Company of Spon Lane, Smethwick, a world-renowned glassmaking pioneer which was the only glass company large enough to supply the glass for the world famous Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note the watch photographed in these images is a pre-production sample\/prototype. The final production watches will have multiple improvements. The case back notch will be moved to the bottom of the case, the crystal will have added layers of anti-reflective coating and the straps will be slightly slimmer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580639437066,"sku":null,"price":329.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/8600\/7818\/files\/WhiteOriginal.jpg?v=1791727397","url":"https:\/\/oldburywatch.com\/products\/shield-quartz-steel-white","provider":"Oldbury Watch Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
