For both durability and aesthetics, the separate middle section allows our case designers to use differing metals, e.g. titanium, to alter the watch’s weight, while PVD allows Bremont to employ contrasting colours to distinguish between the various models.

Bremont B-EBE2000 Watch Case Treatment

All Bremont watches are treated for hardness with B-EBE2000 technology. This special stage in the case production, in which the metal is heat-treated and defused with carbon and then bombarded with electrons, gives the stainless steel a dramatically increased hardness and scratch resistance. On the Vickers scale of hardness, B-EBE2000 produces a watchcase with a value of 2000, which is approximately nine times that of the normal stainless steel used for watchcases.

Bremont Sapphire Watch Crystals

Our sapphire crystals, convex and with a Mohs hardness rating of "9"(equivalent to 2000Hv on the Vickers scale), also have anti-reflective coatings applied to both sides of the glass. Untreated crystals can allow light to reflect back, which can significantly affect the legibility of the watch dial. The coating, with its carefully calculated thickness, is vapour-deposited onto the crystals in a vacuum environment, and is also specially treated to maintain a hardness of close to 2000Hv. Reflections are therefore reduced to less than 0.5%.
