A Watch Made for the Game

Cricket is more than a sport. For millions across the subcontinent, it's a rhythm that runs through daily life. Every match is an occasion, every boundary a moment of shared joy. And yet, for all the watches inspired by tennis, Formula 1, and football, there has never been one that truly captured cricket.

The Cover Drive from Bangalore Watch Company is that watch.

What Cricket Deserved?

Watchmaking has a long tradition of drawing from sport. Brands around the world have built entire collections around racing, sailing, and court games. These watches incorporate the function and spirit of the game into every detail.

Cricket, played for centuries and followed by billions, never had its equivalent. Until now.

The Cover Drive Dial

Sized at 40mm, the Cover Drive sits well on any wrist. The colours are drawn from the Indian jersey and the cricket ground, vibrant and immediately familiar to any fan. A quick-release pin makes it easy to swap straps, but it's the dial that tells the real story.

Look closely at the second's hand. The counterbalance is shaped like a cricket bat, a small detail, but one that rewards attention. The bezel is calibrated to track overs, whether you're watching a T20 or an ODI. Every element of the watch has been thought through, not just styled.

Then there's the dial construction itself.

Stumps That Glow

The indices on the Cover Drive are shaped like cricket stumps. But these aren't flat prints, they're cut through the top layer of the dial, exposing a luminous base beneath. This is a sandwich construction: two layers working together to create depth, contrast, and a three-dimensional presence that a single-plate dial simply cannot match.

When the lights go down, the stumps glow evenly, just as they would under stadium floodlights. The glow comes from C3 Grade Super-Luminova, which gives a clean, lasting charge.

A Watch Like No Other

The Cover Drive brings the thrill of cricket to your wrist. Every element has been carefully designed to celebrate the game, from the elegance of the cover drive stroke to the functional bezel that lets you track overs while watching a match. Its sandwich dial adds depth, character, and excellent legibility, making every glance a satisfying experience.

At Bangalore Watch Company, the Cover Drive is part of a lineup that tells India's modern story through cricket watches. From the Mach 1 Admiral, crafted from the steel of a historic ship, to a meteorite-dial watch honouring ISRO, every watch captures a defining Indian milestone. These Indian luxury watches are wearable tributes to the achievements and stories that shape the nation. When you see and wear them, it's clear: there's nothing else like it.
