Servicing & Repairs

We welcome Bremont owners, old and new.

Tours of the Henley-on-Thames workshop take place on a monthly basis, although numbers are limited to maximise the enjoyment of the attendees and minimise the disruption to our watch makers. Please contact customerservice@bremont.com to register your interest and we will be in touch to confirm dates and availability.

We do not recommend immersing your Bremont watch in hot soapy water whilst washing up. Chemicals or detergent mixed in the water can lower its viscosity, effectively making the water “thinner” and therefore allowing it to penetrate the seals more easily. Open and exhibition case-back models are particularly susceptible to extremes of temperature so we do not recommend exposure to very hot water. Additionally, leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

If your watch is a Limited Edition it will need to be returned to the UK for repair or servicing, in which case this will be organiased for you by the New York Boutique.

Each of the “resistance depths” is not the actual depth at which the watch can be used, but a measurement of pressure which the watch can withstand before any leakage occurs. When you dive or jump into a pool the force exerted upon the glass, case, button and seals is the equivalent of smashing the watch against concrete. Even though the pressure only lasts for hundredths of a second, it can be enough to dislodge seals and allow water to penetrate the movement. All Bremont watches are water-resistant to 100m (as long as the crown has been screwed in), with the following exceptions:
• Solo 32 models – water-resistant to 50m
• Supermarine 300 models – water-resistant to 300m
• Supermarine 500 models – water-resistant to 500m
• S2000 – water-resistant to 2000m
Any watch being used as a water-resistant model must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. (See what “What does water-resistant to… mean?”)

The Bremont Service involves completely stripping the movement down, replacing any worn parts, cleaning in an ultrasonic tank, re-lubrication, fitting new seals and stringent testing over an extended period of time. Once complete the watch will be returned to you with a new 2 year warranty.

Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 100m (the majority of Bremont watches), and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn during surface water sports including swimming and snorkelling. NB Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 2000m, like the S2000, and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn by professional divers. NB Please ensure that the crown of the watch is fully screwed down first. Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 300m (the S300 range), and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn during sports/leisure diving. NB Please ensure that the crown of the watch is fully screwed down first. Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 500m (the S500 range), and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn by professional divers. NB Please ensure that the crown of the watch is fully screwed down first. Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 50m (Solo 32 range) are only splash proof so should be removed before swimming.

We recommend that you have a maintenance service carried out at least every 3-5 years.

Your mechanical watch is a hand-built precision instrument so a routine service is essential to keep it in good working order and maintain its value as an investment piece. Every part has been carefully chosen from the best selection of materials available but some parts will always be subject to natural wear. It is vital that these points of wear are always kept lubricated.

With the exception of Core Range watches (See “What is a Core Range watch?”) that can be sent into New York Boutique for repairs and serving, all Bremont timepieces need to be returned to the Henley-on-Thames workshop where we have a team of Bremont Certified, dedicated watch makers with a wealth of experience. In order to maintain the validity of your Bremont warranty it is essential that any work required is carried out by a member of this team.

For Warranty repairs, once your watch has been booked in and diagnosed you will be immediately informed of an expected date for completion of the work. For Chargeable repairs, a quotation for the cost of repair will be produced and will need to be signed off by the customer, before the work can start, at which point an expected date for completion will be given.
