Every Bremont watch is mechanical and hand built in the UK

Great Britain has a wonderful history when it comes to watch making and has probably been the home to more advances in horology than any other nation. Bremont is determined to play a pivotal role in the reinvigoration of this industry on British shores and as a result, Bremont manufactures parts at its Parts Manufacturing Facility and every Bremont is hand-build and tested before leaving the Henley-on-Thames workshop.

We offer 3 a year warranty on every Bremont timepiece

Bremont focuses purely on beautifully made mechanical movements and every watch in our core collection has passed each of the rigorous precision tests necessary for the ISO 3159 chronometer designation. Every movement is finished to the highest levels of craftsmanship and all are guaranteed to within -4 and +6 seconds per day. For this reason Bremont is one of the few watch makers to offer a 3-year warranty on every timepiece.

Free delivery to the UK and Europe

At Bremont, we offer free delivery on all timepieces to the UK and Europe.

The Argonaut, a name inspired by Greek mythology and synonymous with Navy history having appeared on Commissioned ships for nearly 250 years. This exciting new 42mm hardened steel-cased military dive watch, houses a three-handed chronometer rated BE-92AV movement. The internal rotating bezel is operated by a crown at 4 o’clock, and readability on both the hands and dial have been crucial in the design process. With minutes being so critical in the marine environment, the highly legible orange minute hand can be seen very clearly and is filled with custom green Super-LumiNova®.

- Nick English, Bremont Co-Founder

Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces

Bremont are the sole luxury watch producer allowed to legitimately use the signs, symbols and insignia of all three services on their watches.

A Piece of History

The Armed Forces Collection draws inspiration from the original ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches, a series of timepieces commissioned for the British Army during WW2 when Britain’s Ministry of Defence needed watches to issue to military personnel.

Tested beyond endurance

Like the watches from WW2, very strict performance specifications have been set which included waterproofing, regulation to chronometer specification, luminous markings on the dial and a robust case construction.

New two-piece case construction

The Bremont Armed Forces Collection features a new two-piece hardened steel case with brushed and polished details.

Hand-Built in Britain

Bremont’s has a well-respected heritage in making durable and rugged watches. It’s reputation within the military, specifically with the British military, made Bremont the natural partner of choice for the MoD.
