Following in the footsteps of the Type 29

In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Belgian railways adopted a new generation of steam locomotives, designed for robustness and versatility. The Type 29 locomotives thus marked the final days of the golden age of steam in Belgium.

The Type 29 since 1946

The Type 29, of which locomotive 29013 is the only remaining working example, is a series of American-designed steam engines acquired by the SNCB (Belgian National Railways) after the Second World War. Robust and versatile, capable of hauling both heavy trains and passenger services, they marked the final years of steam traction in Belgium. Restored and preserved, locomotive 29013 now keeps the memory of historic rail alive through tourist runs and commemorative events.

“The railway is civilization running at full steam.”

— Victor Hugo

Technical description

The Type 29 rail watch reveals the silhouette of this iconic steam locomotive on its dial, a tribute to its former power and to those who shaped railway history. A discreet symbol, true to the spirit of Col&McArthur, where every detail becomes a memory and every moment tells a story.

The Swiss Ronda quartz movement, caliber 6004D, powers this model with great precision. Featuring 5 jewels and a patinated gold finish, this 11 1/2-ligne caliber ensures reliability and ease of maintenance thanks to its EOL (End of Life) technology.

The 44 mm diameter and 9.1 mm thick case is crafted from 316L steel, ensuring robustness and durability. Its matte gray finish gives it a modern and discreet touch, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures optimal protection against shocks and scratches. Water-resistant to 5 ATM and featuring a 20 mm lug width, this case combines solidity and elegance, guaranteeing the watch remarkable longevity without compromising on style.

The 316L steel caseback features a polished gray finish that emphasizes the watch's understated elegance. It is decorated with an engraving depicting the footprint of Man's first step on the moon, adding a unique touch. This material resists corrosion well and gives the watch a sophisticated yet timeless style. The clip closure system ensures a secure fit while maintaining a simple and refined design, for practical and elegant use.

Mounted on a black leather strap, which combines suppleness and robustness thanks to its 316L stainless steel construction, your watch stands out with its understated yet refined elegance. Equipped with a double folding clasp, this strap offers optimal comfort and a secure fit, with an adjustable length from 180 to 220 mm.
