LFamous British watch brand reborn after a 50-year absence* Prestex, a British watch brand that was a household name right up to the 1960s, is to be relaunched thanks to the original founder\u2019s grandson.
\nNeil Duckworth has created the new Duckworth Prestex range of watches, to honour the original Prestex watches established by his grandfather Frank Duckworth.
\nBased in Bolton, Prestex watches achieved worldwide fame thanks to their blend of style, strength and reliability. The default choice for many people looking for a high-quality British watch, Prestex watches were sold until 50 years ago \u2013 when Swiss watches began to dominate the scene.
\nNow, the Prestex name lives again with the new Duckworth Prestex range, which takes the winning formula pioneered by the original watches from the 1930s and updates it with the latest watchmaking technology. The tried and trusted values of affordability and quality remain, ready for a new generation of traditional watch wearers to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nTwo types of watches will be sold initially \u2013 an automatic watch and a quartz chronograph \u2013 in a variety of different colours. A number of different strap options are also available that allow customers to specify a watch that will be truly individual to them, yet with the timeless elegance that has always been associated with the Prestex name.
\nThe automatic watch, with its Verimatic movement, will be priced at \u00a3595 while the quartz chronograph, with its two subdials, will be priced at \u00a3495.
\nBoth are built to the highest standards and designed in Britain, with a five-year warranty and aftersales service facility available in Bolton: where the story first began.
\nNeil Duckworth, who previously represented some of the world\u2019s leading Swiss manufacturers before realising the dream to revive his family watch brand, commented: \u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud to give new life to a historic British name. In buying a Duckworth Prestex watch, you\u2019re buying into a tradition, which as a third-generation watchmaker, I\u2019m delighted to represent. Despite our close links to the past, we\u2019re looking firmly to the future with the latest technology and a whole new family of designs that look forward to the next hundred years.\u201d
