E.C. Andersson Cpt: a compact, seaworthy automatic in silver and midnight blue

E.C. Andersson has introduced the Cpt, an unusually dressy small watch with the practical specification of a daily-wear tool watch. The stainless-steel case is just 35mm across, or 35.6mm measured over its bezel, with a 43mm lug-to-lug measurement. A box-shaped sapphire crystal brings overall height to 10.4mm. The dial comes in textured Bright Silver or Midnight Blue, both featuring distinctive sweeping, luminous markers and polished hands.

The engineering is more nautical than the silhouette suggests: a triple-sealed screw-down crown helps deliver 100 metres of water resistance. A Miyota 9039-based automatic, regulated and assembled by the brand, offers at least 42 hours of power reserve. Pricing starts at £755, with the first production batch limited to 45 watches of each dial colour. The design avoids oversized proportions without abandoning everyday capability.
