3 year warranty
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.

Proudly made 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. Every Bremont is hand built and tested before leaving the Henley-on-Thames workshop.

Description
Martin-Baker is a British aviation company responsible for supplying 70% of the world’s air-forces with fighter ejection seat technology. The watch had to withstand the same rigorous testing programme as the ejection seats themselves including Live Ejection Testing, MFOS Crashworthy Testing, Extreme Temperature Endurance, Vibration Testing, Altitude Testing and Aircraft Carrier Deck Testing. This MBII design boasts a more contemporary styling of the numerals for a clean look. Its newly designed case back is inset with a bronze coloured ‘military challenge coin’, historically used to represent membership of a group of people or service on a specific tour of duty.

tested beyond endurance
Including Live Ejection and MFOS Crashworthy Testing, Extreme Temperature Endurance, Vibration, Altitude Testing and Aircraft Carrier Deck Testing
Visible always
Being able to read your watch at night is critical, we apply as many as 20 coats of Super-Luminova® paint to ensure optimal visibility in the poorest of lighting conditions
Multi-layered anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal
The curved sapphire crystal has multiple layers of scratch resistant anti-reflective coating, ensuring your watch is legible in all light conditions and remains looking it’s best, always.
Roto-Click® Bezel
This technology allows the bi-directional bezel to rotate whilst gliding on a series of four ball bearings, producing excellent accuracy, durability and a satisfying click for every minute rotated.
Anti-shock movement mount
Included in every watch is a rubberised movement mount. A flexible ring connects the mount to the outer case, absorbing shocks and allowing the inner case and movement to float
Additional Straps
A watch for all occasions
Your watch has been carefully designed to perfectly match its strap, but don’t let that stop you adding your own flair and experimenting with further combinations.
The strap can make your watch look completely different so have a play ‘watch wardrobing’ your desired model and add options to suit any occasion.

REINVIGORATING THE BRITISH WATCH INDUSTRY
It is not completely unexpected to find that the world sets its time by Greenwich and not by Geneva. Whilst Geneva and Switzerland may be producing the vast majority of luxury wristwatches today, this certainly wasn’t always the case. In 1800 half of the world's watches, around 200,000 pieces a year, were produced on British shores by British watchmakers, which is an incredible statistic. Another wonderful statistic is that probably over 60-70% of the innovation in a modern day mechanical watch has come from Britain, including every major escapement design. Bremont's mission has always been to play a part in bringing back watchmaking to British shores.
