What to know

Garrick’s S3 Deadbeat Seconds combines an exposed movement with a seconds hand that advances once each second. That measured tick comes from mechanical construction, rather than a quartz oscillator. The large Trinity balance at six o’clock remains a focal point, framed by a German-silver chapter ring and observatory-style hands.

The hand-wound DB-G07 calibre provides a 45-hour reserve, displayed on the front of the watch. The case measures 42mm across and 11mm thick, with steel and gold options. Garrick offers extensive choices of finishing and colour because each example is made to order. This entry covers the model announced in April 2025.
