Geckota Launches Limited-Edition Pioneer Lapis Blue at British Watchmakers’ Day 2025

Tewkesbury, UK - January 23, 2025 — British watchmaker Geckota proudly unveiled the Pioneer British Watchmakers’ 2025 Special Edition at the second annual British Watchmakers’ Day, held today at Lindley Hall in London. This exclusive timepiece, limited to just 50 pieces, celebrates the resurgence of British horology and Geckota’s commitment to craftsmanship and design innovation.

Building upon the legacy of the Pioneer line, which has been in continuous production since its 2017 debut, this special edition introduces a striking vertically brushed Lapis Blue fumé dial. A gilt Union Jack emblem and the inscription “Pioneer Limited Edition” at 6 o’clock pay homage to the brand’s British roots.

The watch features a 41.5mm cushion-style case crafted from 316L stainless steel, with a polished bezel and brushed sides. A custom-coloured crown insert adds a unique flair, while the screw-down crown and case back ensure water resistance up to 100 meters. The case is designed to wear comfortably on the wrist, with a lug-to-lug distance of 47.8mm and a slim profile of 12.05mm.

Powered by the reliable TMI NH38 automatic movement, the watch offers a 42-hour power reserve, 24 jewels, and hacking functionality. The dial is complemented by polished hands filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability in low-light conditions. Each timepiece is paired with a Horween Chromexcel leather strap, known for its durability and comfort.

“We’re thrilled to present this special edition Pioneer at British Watchmakers’ Day 2025,” said Jon Quinn, Managing Director of Geckota Brands. “This event is a celebration of British watchmaking, and we’re proud to contribute with a timepiece that embodies our dedication to quality, design, and heritage.”

Priced at £399, the Pioneer British Watchmakers’ 2025 Special Edition was available exclusively to attendees of the event, with priority given to visitors at the show. For more information, visit the official product page.
