STREAMLINER KENNEDY LARGE MODEL
In September 2026, Briston is enriching its iconic Streamliner Kennedy collection with a new Large Model Quartz version. Designed for those seeking a watch that is elegant, contemporary, and accessible, this new creation asserts a neo-retro style while maintaining the codes that define the identity of the French watchmaker.
A new dimension for the Streamliner Kennedy
With its 36 x 36 mm square case, the new Streamliner Kennedy Large Model Quartz adopts more generous proportions, while maintaining the balance and elegance characteristic of the collection.
Its identity is based in particular on the combination of two iconic materials: 316L stainless steel and tortoise shell cellulose acetate, crafted in Italy and hand-polished. The acetate sides, finished with a mirror polish, bring depth and character to the watch’s silhouette.
Two side screws securely fasten the case and emphasize this unique construction, where every detail contributes to the piece's aesthetic.
A neo-retro dial with refined details
The Streamliner Kennedy Large model Quartz plays on contrasts and volumes with a dual-layer dial, a true aesthetic signature of this new version.
The center of the dial features a delicate guilloché decoration, accompanied by a railway minute track. The openwork Roman and Arabic numerals reinforce its neo-retro character, while the sub-dial adds subtle depth to the whole.
Available in black, silver-white, Royal blue, or British green, the dial allows everyone to express their style, from the most classic to the most contemporary.
The dauphine hands in brushed steel or rose gold PVD finish are equipped with Super-LumiNova® C1 inserts, ensuring clear time reading, day or night.
The signature detail: a crown set with lapis lazuli or malachite
At 12 o'clock, the crown becomes a true design element.
In polished steel or rose gold PVD treated depending on the version, it is enhanced by a lapis lazuli or malachite cabochon. These stones bring a precious and distinctive touch to the watch, while echoing the deep hues offered on certain dials.
This detail illustrates Briston's approach: combining classic watchmaking codes with graphic and contemporary elements to create a piece that is immediately recognizable.
Swiss precision at the heart of the watch
The Streamliner Kennedy Large Model Quartz is powered by the Swiss Ronda Powertech 582 caliber, a quartz movement designed to offer precision and reliability for daily wear.
It manages the hours and minutes functions and benefits from an advertised three-year battery life. The watch is also equipped with an ultra-resistant 1.7 mm K1 mineral crystal, while its water resistance reaches 50 meters / 5 ATM.
From leather to steel: two ways to wear the Kennedy
To accompany this new Large Model, Briston offers several personalization possibilities.
The watch can be worn on an interchangeable two-strand alligator-effect leather strap, available in black, brown, navy blue, or British green. Thanks to the exclusive spring bar system, the strap change is easily performed, allowing the watch to be adapted to any occasion.
For a more contemporary look, the Streamliner Kennedy Large Model can also be paired with the stainless steel bracelet developed especially by Briston. Its polished center links and brushed H-links create a subtle contrast, while its double Presto system makes it easy to use daily.
One watch, many personalities
With this new Streamliner Kennedy Large Model Quartz, Briston continues its work on an aesthetic that is chic, understated, and assertive all at once.
Its 36 mm proportions, tortoise shell acetate, dual-layer dial, crown set with lapis lazuli or malachite, and various strap options make it a watch designed to accompany an elegant silhouette as well as a more casual style.
The Streamliner Kennedy Grand Modèle Quartz is available starting at €460, with variations in rose gold PVD finish at €490 and on a steel bracelet at €525.
A new interpretation of the Kennedy, where French elegance meets Swiss precision and the unique character of acetate.
