It would be unfair to say that the Adina exposed balance “Open Heart” Kensington is all about the dial, but it’s certainly a significant feature. Here, the balance beats away merrily under the blued screws that hold the bridge. The window that surrounds it is highlighted with an applied frame to match the index colour of the dial. Simply stated, at 3 o’clock is a sub second hand dial which is accurate and elegant.

With the Adina Kensington Automatic Watch, we look to celebrate our water proof watchmaking pedigree. The majority of the case is finished with fine vertical brushing across the top surface, flat lugs and case sides, but there’s still plenty of polished 904L stainless steel to catch the eye. There is a continuous polished ridge running the length of the watch from lug tip to lug tip spanning three different angled edges on each side, and surrounding the dial is a slightly stepped bezel which not only reflects and houses the highly scratch resistant sapphire crystal but brings the eye in and across the lightly brushed bezel insert.

At 42mm across the case (excluding the pumpkin bi-oring crown), the Kensington is fairly modest in size. It can be said, a case of this proportion can feel big. Not so in this case, although its thickness at 14mm gives stature it sill sits incredibly comfortably on any size wrist. The lugs are sharply downturned transitioning into the faceted surface of the bracelet very quickly. 

Powering what is sure to be a modern classic is the TY2501 automatic calibre. This open-heart movement beats at 28,800 bph and has a power reserve of 40 hours. The movement is regulated to +/-10 seconds per day as it leaves the factory, The entire movement is visible though the exhibition display-back which is championed by the logo embossed rhodium plated rotor.

The bracelet continues the excellent finishing and attention to detail with a very nice one touch clasp which is operated by pressing the Adina logo outside the centre.

The level of workmanship exhibited in every watch which is constructed by hand in the Brisbane workshop is going a long way to support the Adina 51-year-old watch making history, as are the quality of design and execution of some key Australian aesthetic concepts.
