All about the Briston STREAMLINER KENNEDY - AUTO - BLACK
Briston Streamliner Kennedy HMS Automatic – Elegance in the Iconic Square
The Streamliner Kennedy HMS by Briston combines classic watch design with modern materials and a distinctive character. With its striking square case, elegant details, and a finely tuned dial, it is a stylish automatic watch for lovers of extraordinary shapes and refined craftsmanship.
Design & Case – Distinctive and Unique
The 36 x 36 mm case presents a harmonious combination of brushed stainless steel and side elements made of Italian acetate in tortoiseshell optics. This material, known from high-quality eyewear manufacturing, is produced by the traditional Mazzucchelli factory and hand-polished – a true sign of artisanal expertise.
The special feature of this watch is also evident in the crown at 12 o'clock, adorned with an elegant lapis lazuli cabochon. This detail gives the watch an extraordinary, almost ornamental, appearance.
A durable sapphire crystal reliably protects the dial and ensures optimal clarity in everyday use.
Dial – Two-Level Architecture
The elaborately designed two-layer dial combines various design elements into an exciting composition. The upper black layer is complemented by an underlying silver-white sub-dial, which is designed with a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals.
The central zone features a classic railroad minute track and a fine guilloché structure, which adds extra depth to the dial. This sophisticated design not only ensures excellent readability but also a unique visual dynamic.
The brushed Dauphine hands made of steel are equipped with Super-LumiNova® and guarantee good readability even in poor lighting conditions.
Movement – Flat, Precise, and Reliable
Inside, the proven Japanese automatic movement Miyota 9039 operates, valued for its reliability and flat design. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of up to 42 hours, it offers precise timekeeping in everyday life.
The watch classically displays hours, minutes, and a central second hand and convinces with its mechanical quality.
Strap & Wearing Comfort – Versatile and Thoughtful
The Streamliner Kennedy comes with a black vintage leather strap, which impresses with its matte surface and pleasant feel. Thanks to the exclusive quick-change system, the strap can be easily replaced.
Alternatively, a stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished links is also available, further emphasizing the watch's sporty-elegant character.
Italian Savoir-faire – Acetate as a Trademark
Since its foundation, Briston has used acetate as a central design element. This noble material is traditionally manufactured in Italy and refined by hand. The combination of natural structure, color variety, and artisanal processing makes each case unique.

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No answer received?
You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.
Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong
Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.
However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
