Great British Odyssey
A Great British Odyssey
Fears are the official timekeeping partner to the Great British Odyssey world record attempt.
A Great British Odyssey will see ultra-endurance athlete, Angus Collins, attempt to be the first person to ever solo row unsupported around the mainland of Great Britain.
Despite numerous attempts down the years, this incredible feat of endurance and British adventure has eluded those who've tried before.
The challenge will commence around the 1st of June 2025, and will see Angus solo row in a specially designed and custom-built boat for up to 18 hours a day.
Angus has already broken several world records (across the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans) and is heralded as one of the most successful ocean rowers of our time.
Experimental 01
As the official timekeeping partner, Fears will be making five bespoke experimental watches for Angus to use during this challenge.
These Experimental 01 watches have been designed and engineered in-house in close collaboration between Angus and Fears' Design Department.

The Mission
The ultimate mission of this challenge is to raise £250,000 for James' Place, a charity who help men in suicidal crisis find hope for the future.
This is a cause and a charity with great personal meaning and significance to both Angus and Nicholas, so anyone who is able to we would encourage to make a contribution.
