The J.S. Elliott Theory Two is a 2024 automatic wristwatch by independent watchmaker Elliott Kim. Its defining details are a blue radial dial, a small-seconds display, openworked hands and skeletonized lugs. The maker lists a 39 × 45 × 11 mm stainless-steel case, sapphire crystals, a Sellita SW261 automatic caliber and 50 m water resistance.
What is the J.S. Elliott Theory Two?
The Theory Two is a mechanical watch from J.S. Elliott, presented by its maker as a contemporary interpretation of a classic layout. Its combination of a radiating blue dial and small seconds gives it a more distinctive face than a conventional three-hand dial. The openworked hands and skeletonized lugs carry that visual treatment beyond the dial. J.S. Elliott

Design and specifications
The maker lists the case dimensions as 39 × 45 × 11 mm: 39 mm in diameter, 45 mm lug-to-lug and 11 mm thick. It is made from 316L stainless steel and uses sapphire crystals. Water resistance is rated to 50 m. J.S. Elliott
Monochrome Watches’ launch article, published 29 November 2024, describes brushed and polished case finishing, a partially recessed crown, a blue dial with a grooved radial pattern, faceted applied markers and a small-seconds subdial. It also reports a handmade grey Nubuck strap with a steel pin buckle. These are details from that launch coverage, rather than a current maker specification sheet. Monochrome Watches

Movement details
The maker identifies the caliber as an automatic Sellita SW261. Monochrome’s 29 November 2024 launch coverage specifies a top-grade SW261-1, with 31 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a 41-hour power reserve. The latter figures are the launch article’s account and are not presented on the maker page as a live specification sheet. J.S. Elliott Monochrome Watches
Production, availability and price
The maker currently labels the watch “Series of 40.” That differs from Monochrome’s launch article of 29 November 2024, which said the watch was not limited by number, was made to order and had a three-month lead time. Those statements describe different accounts of production; the maker’s current series label is the clearest available indication, while the made-to-order arrangement and lead time are historical launch reporting.

Monochrome reported a launch price of USD 1,300 on 29 November 2024. That is a historical price, not a confirmed current offer. The maker page does not show a current price, order button, delivery estimate or stock status. Monochrome Watches J.S. Elliott
