MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNdERS We would like to say a personal thank you for your interest in the Bremont collection, developed to meet the expectations of those who demand more from a mechanical watch. Time began for Bremont in 2002, when we embarked on a journey to make beautifully crafted watches of exceptional quality. Inspired by a love of flying historic aircraft, of watches and of all things mechanical, our timepieces had to be tested beyond the normal call of duty - and not just in the workshop. Immensely precise, reliable and durable, Bremont watches are hand built in limited numbers; we’re proud that many parts are manufactured and all watches are now assembled in the UK. Each is designed to appeal to those who share our passion for and appreciation of the innovation and mastery behind a beautiful mechanical wristwatch. We hope you enjoy the same satisfaction when you wear a Bremont watch as we do in creating one.
Nick and Giles English, Bremont Co-founders

Tipping Point
Life for the English brothers changed significantly one clear day in March 1995. Nick was practising for an air display with their father Euan, but the 1942 WWII Harvard aircraft they were flying was involved in an accident. Giles, waiting to take off for the next sortie, was told that his father had been killed. His brother had broken over 30 bones and probably wouldn’t make it.

Six months later, however, Nick was back in the air and being flown by Giles. But things would never be the same again. Life was too short to waste. The two brothers decided to pursue what they enjoyed most: a life crafting beautifully engineered mechanical devices. When they weren’t flying old aircraft, Nick and Giles had spent most of their childhood making things in their gifted father’s workshop. Models. Restored cars. They even helped him build an aircraft they still fly to this day. Euan was also passionate about mechanical timepieces. He would often bring home an old clock from an auction for the brothers to try and get going again. This passion lives on in the classic curve of a Bremont timepiece.

The Bremont Story
THE NAME BREMONT
B remont an d the B l eriot
In the late 1990s, Nick and Giles were flying across France in their 1930s biplane. The weather was closing in. A rough-running engine forced them to make an emergency landing. Keen to avoid the French authorities, the brothers were more than happy to accept the gracious help of the farmer whose field they had landed in. They stayed in his home, the aircraft took cover in the barn. It transpired their host had been just as keen on aviation as the brothers, as well as being a gifted engineer. Half-restored wall clocks lay everywhere, together with numerous engine parts. The farmer even still wore his own father’s wristwatch. It was a delightful evening. The brothers promised that his warm hospitality would never be forgotten. His name? Antoine Bremont.

A few years later, after running a business restoring and maintaining historic aircraft, the brothers were able to follow their dream. They set up a small workshop in BielBienne, Switzerland. Five years later, after the most stringent testing programmes, the first Bremont watches were released. Today, their love of mechanical devices, engineering excellence, aviation and adventure continues to inspire the company. A strong desire to reinvigorate British watch making means that all Bremont watches are manufactured in the UK.

A B R I T I S H WAT C H C O M PA N Y It may surprise you to know that watch making is a very British trade. Every major escapement design and around three quarters of related innovations came from these shores. Much is owed to Thomas Tompion (1639-1713), the ‘Father of English Clock-Making’ and the remarkable Thomas Mudge (1715-1794), who invented the lever escapement still used in most watches today. John Harrison (1693-1776), meanwhile, solved the problem of accurately telling the time at sea and by doing so, in calculating longitude as well. They were followed by other illustrious names including John Arnold and more recently, George Daniels.

P I LL A R S O F B R E M O N T 1 British Engineering 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. Bremont builds many of its own watch components at its stateof-the-art parts manufacturing facility in Silverstone. As a company we verge on the obsessive in the desire to produce watches that are over-engineered for the task in hand. This passion becomes very evident when you hold a Bremont watch.

P I LL A R S O F B R E M O N T 2 Aviation and Military The love and passion for aviation has coursed through the founders’ veins from very early in their childhoods. There has always been a very close association between time and aviation since the first brave adventurers took to the skies over 100 years ago. The love of aviation and its uncompromising demands are both inherent in every Bremont watch. Hand-in-hand with Bremont’s love of aviation is the company’s appreciation of military. Bremont has worked closely with the military for a number of years.

P I LL A R S O F B R E M O N T 3 Adventure A key design requisite for the timepieces from the outset was the desire to make beautifully robust and durable watches that were at home both in the work place, and of course in rather more physical environments. The watches continue to be tested to the limits, both in the workshop but also by Bremont’s ambassadors and partners.

FINISHING
The Mechanical Watch Bremont is built on precise timekeeping. Only the highest quality components are used in our movements. Every watch bearing the Bremont name is chronometertested, then further subjected to a rigorous quality control programme. The results are all documented in detailed records securely stored at our headquarters. The only exceptions are some of our limited edition pieces, for which a stringent testing programme is well inside the C.O.S.C parameters. It goes without saying that their movements contain chronometer specification parts.
Every Bremont movement is finished and decorated to the highest possible specification. The finish of a movement is not just decorative – it affects the running and durability of a mechanical timepiece.
Every watch in our core collection is accompanied by a performance certificate issued by the ‘Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres’ (C.O.S.C). The certificate confirms that the mechanical movement has passed each of the rigorous precision tests necessary for the chronometer designation.

Tr ied & Tested
Watches are the most precise mechanical devices on the planet. Bremont aims to keep it that way. Our watches are subjected to rigorous testing procedures. For example, chronometer certifications take 15 days to complete over several different temperature ranges and watch positions. The average daily variation rate must be between -4 and +6 seconds. With 86,400 seconds in a single day, it means every single Bremont watch is 99.998% accurate.
M ateria l innovation
Our ethos is brought to life in the design, specification and quality of the materials we insist upon. For example, we only use the finest Glucydur balance wheels as opposed to the ‘elaborate’ nickel equivalent found in many high-end luxury watches. Nine layers of anti-reflective treatment are applied to both sides of the sapphire crystals and B-EBE2000 hardening technology makes Bremont watch cases an average of seven times harder and more scratch-resistant than competitors’. The result is a distinctive range of elegant watches. This uncompromising quality is reflected in the 3-year guarantee.
Bremont’s innovative approach to technology has seen the introduction of extremely durable materials such as Custom 465® Stainless Steel and Ti 6-4 Titanium into the Bremont Boeing range. Materials that have never been used in watch manufacture.

Bremont’s Trip-Tick® construction All Bremont watch cases use Bremont Trip-Tick® construction consisting of three parts: 1 The hardened steel bezel element, containing the sapphire crystal. 2 The central body section, consisting of a titanium or DLC treated
middle barrel. 3 The steel and crystal case back.
The separate middle section offers flexibility in both durability and design. It allows us to manufacture cases from different metals, such as titanium, to alter the watch’s weight. DLC, meanwhile, adds to the variety by using contrasting colours to distinguish between models.
Tried & Tested
EXPlOdEd VIEW An exploded view of the Bremont MB shows the technology that has been integrated into this wonderfully over-engineered chronometer.
B R E M O N T T E C H N O lO GY 1 Bremont Roto-ClickÂŽ
Many Bremont watches have been designed from a clean sheet of paper. New bezel technology designed and built in-house is now integrated into a number of models such as the MB. The bezel rotates while gliding on a series of four ball bearings. These bearings knit into the gearing of the bezel to produce a most satisfying click for every minute rotated. 2 Bremont Anti-Shock
Designed by Bremont initially for the MB range of watches, our unique rubberised movement mount encloses the inner workings. A flexible ring then connects the mount to the outer case, absorbing shocks and allowing the inner case and movement to float. 3 Anti-Magnetic Faraday Cage
A number of Bremont models are designed to withstand the detrimental effects of magnetism on a watch’s movement. With a limited amount of space available, this is achieved by encasing the movement in a soft-iron Faraday cage. Any potentially harmful magnetic fields are then routed around the movement. These features apply to some models only.
T H E T I M E I T TA K E S |
Tried & Tested
B R E M O N T T E C H N O LO GY Bremont B-EBE2000 Watch Case Treatment All Bremont watches are treated for hardness with B-EBE2000 technology. During this special stage in the case production the metal is heat-treated and defused with carbon, then bombarded with electrons. The process dramatically increases the hardness and scratch resistance of the stainless steel. On the Vickers’ scale of hardness, for example, B-EBE2000 produces a watch case with a value of 2000Hv - approximately seven times that of the normal stainless steel used for watch cases. Bremont Sapphire Watch Crystals Our convex sapphire crystals come with a Mohs hardness rating of 9. That’s also the equivalent to 2000Hv on the Vickers’ scale. Untreated crystals can allow light to reflect back, significantly affecting the legibility of the dial. So antireflective coatings are vapour-deposited to both sides of the glass in a vacuum environment, reducing reflections to less than 0.5% for optimum legibility.

Proprietary Movement
Automatic Movements Bremont focuses purely on beautifully made mechanical movements. Each one is finished with the highest levels of craftsmanship, whether in a clear-backed case or not 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. Bremont produces some of the finest quality watches in its price point.
BWC/01
Helium Escape Valve The Bremont Supermarine range features a helium escape valve. This springloaded single-direction valve is activated when the differential between the inner and outer pressure reaches a critical level. This results in the release of the gases trapped in the watch case. Watches with helium escape valves are pressure tested at our workshop. Super-LumiNovaÂŽ Bremont carefully applies as many as 15 to 20 coats of Super-LumiNovaÂŽ paint to a range of dials in our collection; it ensures optimal visibility in the poorest of lighting conditions.
The BWC/01 has been part-developed and designed in Britain with our Swiss partners. A number of the key constituent movement parts are also manufactured at the company’s workshops in the UK, which is the first step for Bremont towards manufacturing movements in their entirety on these shores. Pictured here within the Bremont Jaguar MKI.

BREMONT TESTING
QUALITY CONTROL
Testing. It’s something of an obsession. Our first five years were devoted to it, both in the workshop and in the field. Watch parts are continually tested for tolerances, strength, hardness and finish. In fact, every single component undergoes the most rigorous quality controls. And it doesn’t stop there.
Our watches all undergo a stringent testing programme to meet the highest standards before they are released with a 3-year warranty.
Each movement in our core range is independently chronometer-tested over 15 days. Once assembled in their hardened cases, the movements are then checked and tested again before being regulated by the watch makers. The watches then enter a further testing programme involving mechanical and visual inspections. Finally, chronometers are assessed for accuracy, functionality, automatic winding and water resistance. So yes, testing is an obsession but one that results in every timepiece leaving our workshop with a 3-year warranty.

Tested Beyond Endurance
Our intention from the outset was always to design and manufacture a mechanical watch in the UK. The watch would be designed around the principles of engineering and not fashion. It would look as visually arresting in decades to come as on the day it left the workshop and it would be equally at home in the boardroom as above the clouds or below the sea. Bremont watches have been Tested Beyond Endurance by explorers, adventurers, extreme divers and the military. Now, it’s your turn.

Founded in 1851 off British shores the ‘Auld Mug’ was presented to the fastest boat to sail around the Isle of Wight. The schooner ‘America’ won and from then on, the greatest sailing competition in the world, has been known as the America’s Cup.
Bremont is delighted to be in its third year of working with the America’s Cup Event Authority and to have created innovative sailing watches to mark the occasion. Today the America’s Cup is a global event featuring high-tech hydrofoiling, wingsailed catamarans capable of speeds close to 60 knots. The crews are elite athletes contending with the great physical extremes of sailing such high performance boats. The competition was equally fierce in 1851, when an American syndicate brought a radical new yacht to English shores. The schooner, called America, was invited to compete in the Royal Yacht Squadron’s annual Isle of Wight regatta to win the ‘£100 mug’. America coasted home to victory with an eighteen minute lead. Legend states that Queen Victoria, watching this unparalleled winner cross the finish line, asked who was second. She was told, ‘Your Majesty, there is no second’. Bremont.com/AmericasCup

BOEING 100
After working with The Boeing Company on special projects for a number of years, in 2014 Bremont announced an exclusive collaboration to develop a new line of mechanical timepieces. The partnership combines Boeing’s extraordinary expertise in advanced material technology with Bremont’s innovative track record in chronometer manufacture. It will also help to commemorate the aerospace company’s 100th anniversary in 2016.
The Boeing 100 mechanical watch, limited to only 300 pieces, harks back to the early days of aviation.
Founded in 1916 and an incredible 100 years old in 2016, Boeing is one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers. The second-largest aerospace and defence contractor and the US’s largest exporter. With a past dating back nearly 100 years, the Chicago-based giant’s archives read like a history of aviation.

A DVA N C E D M AT E R I A L S
Significant amounts of joint research has taken place at the Advanced Material Research Centre (AMRC) in Sheffield which is a joint venture between the University of Sheffield and Boeing. This has led to the development of new metals like Custom 465® Stainless Steel, a premium melted alloy capable of superior strength, hardness and resistance, being used in the Bremont Boeing range. Custom 465® Stainless Steel is the strongest of all commercially available stainless alloys. It was developed in response to the demands from the aerospace industry for materials that will keep aircraft flying for 30 years or more with minimum maintenance. It has been used for structural components such as flap tracks, actuators, engine mounts, and landing-gear hardware. This is the first time Custom 465® Stainless Steel has been used in the watch industry.
The Bremont Boeing Stainless Steel models use the same Custom 465® Stainless Steel as used in the undercarriage of the F-18.

M AT E R I A L RESEARCH
Bremont is a proud partner of the AMRC, perfecting our techniques at the Centre’s world-leading machining and materials research facilities.
To further the aim of bringing back as much watch manufacture to British shores as feasible, Bremont created a role at AMRC for a PhD research student to work at the Centre and investigate watch parts and movement manufacturing processes.
The AMRC was set up to identify, research and resolve advanced manufacturing, machining and material challenges. Nick English described the benefit to Bremont: “We wanted the watches to be special and unique within our range whilst adhering to our core principles like longevity, robustness and the aviation DNA that runs through our brand. When we talked to AMRC we fell in love with what they are doing. They were about being as efficient as you can with manufacturing processes, and they’re spending a lot of time on the materials. That was a very interesting thing for us as a brand and enabled us to start experimenting on what we could do with these watches. The end result was us designing a watch and using AMRC’s expertise on the materials and the manufacturing process. We started to work with this exciting new steel used in some parts of the case. It’s harder, stronger steel than previous watch grade steels and through other treatments we’re getting the corrosion resistance we wanted as well.”

MBI
We have been working with British aviation company Martin-Baker for several years. The limited edition Bremont MBI was solely for pilots who had ejected from an aircraft using a Martin-Baker seat. While the MBI is reserved for the elite few, the MBII and MBIII are available to all. This unique watch range was made to withstand the extremely rigorous testing programme designed for the seats themselves. After all, a pilot’s watch should endure everything the pilot does.
The MBI is only available to those individuals who have ejected using an MB ejection seat and can be identified quickly by its red aluminium barrel.
The tests involved shock, salt-fog, temperature, pressure, vibration and live ejections to name but a few. The end product has since become an icon in the world of military and civilian aviation. Watch the full testing programme at: Bremont.com/Testing

Jaguar first collaborated with the Henley-on-Thames based watch company during the launch of the cutting edge Jaguar C-X75 in 2010, for which Bremont developed a unique, analogue dashboard clock in keeping with the 778 horsepower hybrid supercar’s futuristic nature and 205 mph performance. The two quintessentially British firms have now reinforced their partnership following the announcement of a range of new mechanical timepieces, the Bremont Jaguar MKI, MKII and MKIII.
Bremont has produced a number of custom-made clocks for Jaguar including the clock for the C-X75 concept supercar and a bespoke mechanical clock and stopwatch for the Jaguar XJ75 Platinum concept car.
These watches are dedicated to the road-going Jaguar E-Type which at its 1961 launch was not only the fastest production car in the world, but according to Enzo Ferrari, the most beautiful.

The MKI, MKII and MKIII watches also follow on from the Bremont Jaguar Lightweight E-Type Limited Edition watch produced in late 2014, of which only six were manufactured to complement the new Jaguar Lightweight E-Type cars. These new cars are the ‘missing’ six vehicles from the ‘Special GT E-Type’ project, which originally started in February 1963 with the objective of building 18 cars. Only 12 of the aluminium-bodied Lightweight E-Types were eventually built and the remaining six designated chassis numbers lay dormant, until now. The six new cars carry those original, historic Lightweight E-Type chassis numbers. Bremont.com/Jaguar
The design of the Bremont Jaguar range dials have been inspired by the dashboard of the E-Type.

THE HOME OF B R I T I S H WAT C H MAKING
2017 sees Bremont become the first official timing partner of Henley Royal Regatta; a unique event which is steeped in tradition but is equally a very modern sporting affair. This marks the first time in the Regatta’s long history where select brands have become partners. Henley Royal Regatta was first held on the River Thames in 1839 and has taken place annually ever since, with the exception of the two World Wars. Originally staged by the people of Henley as a public attraction with a fun fair and other amusements, the emphasis rapidly changed so that competitive amateur rowing became its main purpose. Today it has an unparalleled tradition and place in the hearts of top rowers around the world.
Bremont has been making strides over the past 15 years in positioning Henley-on-Thames as the home of British watch making.
Giles English, Bremont Co-Founder; “Henley Royal Regatta was founded even before the America’s Cup in 1839, and with our heritage in mind, it is lovely to be part of another historical British event. Remarkably, Henley Royal Regatta is one of the few sporting events that is still timed mechanically rather than digitally which is very in-keeping with what Bremont is all about.” Bremont.com/Henley-Regatta

If sensibly maintained, a mechanical watch should last forever - unlike battery or quartz alternatives. So a quality watch is more than simply a timepiece. It is an heirloom to be passed down through the generations. Bremont’s passion for crafting beautifully engineered chronometers is shared by many of our Military and Special Projects clients. We go to extraordinary levels to produce unique timepieces that reflect the DNA of each community, squadron and crew.

The ALT1-C Polished is Bremont’s first non-limited edition polished steel watch that forms part of the core collection and is only produced in limited numbers each year. As with the core collection timepieces, this polished steel case will undergo a similar hardening treatment, providing high impact resistance but still retaining its polished surface finish. The signature coating gives the watch case extreme hardness, excellent toughness, good wear and high impact fatigue resistance; it is as such used widely in the aerospace industry.

2017 marks the 10th anniversary since the launch of Bremont’s first collection of watches having spent 5 years in R&D. Part of that launch collection back in 2007 was the ALT1-P chronograph which has become a popular choice with civilians and aviation professionals. ‘P’ stands for Pilot as this is a model designed with aviators in mind who demand both accuracy and clarity. Bremont always aimed to create classically understated watches which would never date and the ALT1-P has exemplified this being synonymous with the core Bremont values. As with every classic design, evolution is a necessity and 2017 sees Bremont update one of its classics.

The anniversary timepiece is manufactured from Boeing aviationgrade Ti 6-4 titanium and the distinctive brown colour of the Boeing 100 was inspired by a cockpit colour often used in the older Boeing aircraft called ‘Boeing Brown’ which was reportedly designed to make the cockpits more relaxing to be in.

BREMONT JAGUAR MKIII
The MKIII is the most pared back timepiece in the range yet still very much in keeping with the design of the MKI and MKII. The MKIII by comparison has a slightly slimmer 43mm polished steel case; the black tachometer-inspired dial design features the date window at the six o’clock position and carries the Jaguar Heritage logo right above it. Its hour markings are reminiscent of the numerals found on E-Type instruments and the dial features a distinctive ‘red line’ quadrant between three and four o’clock also paying homage to the E-Type’s tachometer.

MBII
The Bremont MB was designed to be quite simply the definitive British aviation chronometer. Tested and designed in conjunction with the iconic British aviation company Martin-Baker, responsible for supplying 70% of the world’s air forces with fighter ejection seat technology, the watch had to withstand the same rigorous testing as the seats themselves. This included shock, vibration, temperature extremes, and salt-fog tests amongst others. For all model variants visit Bremont.com

MBIII
When the MBII was introduced back in 2008, nobody quite expected the impact it would have on the aviation watch world. Its unique case design together with its distinct coloured barrel and ground-breaking technical features made it an instant favourite among aviators in the military and civilian world alike. The MBIII takes this one step further with the introduction of a GMT hand and the ability to tell the time in two time-zones simultaneously, whilst keeping the MB DNA that has made this watch a must for any serious collector.

The Bremont U-2 was designed exclusively for, and tested extensively by, the elite U-2 Spy Plane Squadron based at Beale, California. These incredible pilots regularly take their iconic aircraft up to 80,000 feet on reconnaissance missions that often last over 12 hours. Three retail models are available and each have been put through their paces at 100,000 feet and -40°C in the laboratory and out on missions.

U-22
True to its aviation roots, the updated date display of the U-22 was designed to reflect the view on an altimeter which balances the dial well. Differing from the U-2, the bi-directional rotating inner bezel, originally designed to measure 60 minutes, works as a compass quadrant which is often useful in navigation weather mapping. The bronze barrel colour was specifically inspired by a number of military watches Bremont has produced in the past based on the anti-reflective coating used on their cockpit canopies.

Inspired by the classic pilot watches from the 1940s, the Bremont SOLO comes in three different dial variants. Legibility played a significant role in its design. The SOLO is a beautiful chronometer, an obvious choice for anyone interested in the allure of mechanical watches. The classic Bremont 43mm Trip-TickŽ case, hardened in the UK to over 2000Hv on the Vickers’ scale, is over seven times more scratch resistant than typical watch-grade steel.

No pilot ever forgets their first solo flight and the exhilaration as the wheels leave the runway.

The new Bremont Supermarine Type 300 range responds to a demand for a professional dive watch in a slightly smaller iteration. The watches’ namesake derives from the 1930’s aircraft company, Supermarine, whose first ever Spitfire prototype – the Type 300 – led to one of Britain’s most iconic aircraft. The new 40mm case of the Type 300 is also slimmer being only 13mm from sapphire crystal to case back featuring a uni-directional ceramic rotating bezel. For all model variants visit Bremont.com

The S500 is a diver’s watch inspired by our aviation principles. An anti-magnetic Faraday cage encases the beautifully finished chronometer-tested BE-36AE movement. The 43mm case can withstand depths of up to 500 metres - although it has been tested far deeper. It also has an automatic helium escape valve for professional diving requirements. The bezel, meanwhile, offers extraordinary luminosity in low light conditions. The S2000 features a larger 45mm case which has been re-engineered to withstand depths of 2000m or 6560ft.

The Regatta AC models build on the partnership with the America’s Cup. Considerable investment has been made to develop this Regatta calibre, specially designed to be used by sailors and incorporating two unique countdown Regatta chronograph movements. The AC-R-TI has been designed to show a numerical 15 minute display countdown and a 5 minute start time. These models bear historical significance because high-grade carbon fibre from the winning 2013 ORACLE TEAM USA AC72 yacht is incorporated into each of the crowns.

T E R R A N O VA In late 2013, the renowned polar explorer, Ben Saunders and his team mate Tarka L’Herpiniere walked 1,795 miles from Scott’s hut on the north shore of Ross Island in Antarctica to the South Pole, recreating Scott’s route to the South Pole. On the outside of their jackets the two polar explorers wore their Terra Nova chronometers. Far too cold for any type of battery operated device, the light titanium Supermarine, limited to 300 pieces, with its GMT functionality and specially oiled mechanical movement became an indispensable tool.
CODEBREAKER Bletchley Park is credited with shortening the war by around two years and saving millions of lives. Inspired by a classic ‘40s officer’s watch, the Codebreaker incorporates historical artefacts from the site. Pine from the floorboards of the iconic Hut 6 - the centre of the operations and paper from one of the few remaining punch cards - used to analyse the vast amount of coded data. The wheel of an original Enigma machine has even been used in the watch’s rotor.

V I C TO RY HMS Victory remains the oldest serving warship still in commission. Launched in 1765, she became famous as Lord Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The Bremont Victory is a completely unique timepiece, commemorating the ship and Nelson himself. Incorporating oak timber and copper from the vessel, the watch also houses a very special BE-83AR chronograph movement with retrograde seconds and date. The Bremont Victory was available in a limited run of both stainless steel and rose gold.
P-51 The limited edition Bremont P-51 was built on the interest generated by the very special EP120 Limited Edition. The P-51 is a chronograph chronometer built with original parts from the famous 1944 Mustang WWII aircraft P-51K-10. A veteran of the Pacific war, it was also known as ‘Fragile but Agile’. The signature Bremont hardened case and sapphire ensure the term doesn’t apply to the watch itself.

EP120 The limited edition EP120 watch isn’t simply named after a famous 1942 Spitfire Mk V aircraft, it contains parts of it. Arguably the most credited WWII fighter in existence, the aircraft shot down six German aircraft on a single day in 1942. Now based in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, some of EP120’s original parts were saved during restoration and have been integrated into the dials and movement of the watch.
N O RTO N Norton, one of the world’s most iconic motorcycle brands, is known for its unrivalled success at the Isle of Man TT races and legendary ‘Featherbed’ frame. To mark a longawaited return to the UK, Norton wanted to team up with a watch brand that shared its ethos, heritage and passion for engineering. As the Official Timing Partner for the Festival of Speed, Bremont produced a limited edition chronograph based on the same eye-catching styling as Norton’s Commando 961.

G l O S S A RY Anti-magnetic watches Watches that continue to operate (with deviations under particular limits) when exposed to the influence of magnetic fields of a certain strength may be called anti-magnetic according to DIN. Anti-shock movement mount A unique rubberised mount which encloses and secures the watch movement in a case connected to the outer case solely by a flexible ring. Shocks to the watch allow the movement case to float and absorb much of the shock energy.
Vickers, allowing it to be carefully regulated and riveted in position. Temperature also has very little effect on this alloy. Balance spring (Below) A spiral of ribbon-shaped metal, coiled 12 to 15 times, that ensures that the balance oscillates at a regular rate. The balance spring is securely fastened to the balance’s axis of rotation and delivers the braking and acceleration energies required to keep the balance rotating. Nivarox is the special alloy used for quality springs. Nivarox is an alloy that doesn’t rust, and is immune to magnetism and temperature.
Automatic winding This relates to a watch where the mainspring is wound by harnessing the movement of the wearer’s arm/wrist. These movements cause the rotor (an oscillating weight) to rotate and wind the mainspring. Balance The balance works in combination with the balance-spring to regulate the rate of a mechanical watch. The balance usually comes in the form of a three-spoke wheel whereby oscillations are translated into the movement of the pallets via a small ruby pin (the impulse pin). In classical watch movements, the balance oscillates at a rate of 5 beats per second (bph), the equivalent to 18,000bph. To improve the precision, modern wristwatches have an increased rate of 19,800, 21,600, 28,800 or sometimes 36,000bph. In quality wristwatches, the balance is made of an alloy called Glucydur, a mixture of copper and beryllium and iron which has a hardness of 380

B-EBE2000 This is a special stage in the case production, in which the metal is bombarded with electrons to give the stainless steel a dramatically increased hardness and scratch resistance. On the Vickers scale of hardness, B-EBE2000 produces a watch case with a value of 2000, which is approximately seven times that of the normal stainless steel used for watch cases.
Escapement Energy from the mainspring is restrained by the escapement to help control the gear train. At the same time the escapement provides further energy to the balance spring where unavoidable losses due to friction are compensated. Contemporary wristwatches usually contain the pallet escapement which consists of the escapement wheel and its pinion.
Calibre A term used to describe the form and/or size of a movement and often specifying the type of movement.
Faraday cage A unique mechanism developed by Bremont consisting of a soft-iron housing in which the movement is cushioned, routing magnetic fields around the movement.
Chronograph A watch with a stopwatch mechanism. Chronometer A chronometer defines the accuracy and testing over an official 15-day series of tests by the official Swiss Chronometer testing institute, over a range of temperatures and five physical positions. The average daily deviation rate of the movement must be between –4/+6 seconds per day and only then can the movement be awarded as a chronometer and ultimately receive a certificate issued by the COSC.
Flyback The Flyback function allows an ongoing time measurement to be interrupted and a new one to be started instantaneously by merely pressing a button. It combines three steps – stop, reset to zero and restart – into one. In chronographs without the Flyback function, these three steps must be executed consecutively. This function was originally invented in the early

days of aviation. The concept behind the complex function dates back to the era when flight-deck crews still navigated with maps and watches and often had to react very quickly to suddenly occurring events. GMT Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or Zulu time (Z) is used as the standard clock of choice for international reference time in communications, military, aviation, maritime and other activities that cross time zones. Incabloc A shock absorption system used in pocket and wristwatches. Index (Adjustment) A device which can be used to set the rate of a watch by changing the effective length of the balance spring in the oscillation system. Jewels To minimise friction in the most important bearings, jewels are fixed to the anchor pallets and ellipse. A movement with a large number of jewels does not necessarily mean that the movement is of particularly high quality. Magnetism This can occur when a watch is subjected to a magnetic field. A magnetic field can emate from a variety of different sources in day to day life. Computer hard drives, medical equipment, large speaker systems, refrigerator doors, magnetic tablet cases, mobile phones, magnetic catches on handbags to name a few can all emit magnetic fields. Magnetism may lead to excessive rate gain which can cause a watch to run fast or stop entirely. Magnetic fields do not cause permanent damage and minor intervention only is required to return your Bremont to its usual excellent standard. Mechanical watches Watches that are powered by a mainspring whereby the oscillating system runs purely on a mechanical basis, e.g. balance or pendulum.
Mohs hardness scale This scale was devised to divide the whole spectrum of hardness using a scale of 1 to 10. “1” stands for a very soft material (talcum) and “10” for the hardest material (diamond). Power reserve The maximum amount of time over which a mechanical movement can continue to run after its mainspring has been fully wound. Retrograde “Retrograde” is featured on the Bremont Victory and sweeps a segment of a circle before springing back to the initial position to begin the movement again. Abraham-Louis Breguet used this type of retrograde mechanism in the late eighteenth century for functions such as the date or an equation of time. The Bremont Victory includes this complication and provides an aesthetically pleasing feature to any watch enthusiast. Roto-Click® Patented rotating bi-directional Roto-Click® inner bezel is a beautifully engineered ball-locking system containing a number of ball bearings that position the bezel accurately for greater readability. Rotor The oscillating mass which moves and turns freely about its axis in an automatic watch. The rotor winds up the mainspring as it swings. A clutch prevents the rotor from over-winding the mainspring. Sapphire crystal Sapphire crystal is the favoured material for watch crystal due to its exceptional hardness (9 on the Mohs scale). Using sapphire crystal is far more expensive to manufacture than mineral or acrylic crystals, however sapphire crystal glass provides excellent scratch resistant properties.

Shock absorption A system used to protect the very fragile pivots of the balance staff against breakage. The jewels for the pivots of the balance staff are elastically fitted to the main plate. In response to a severe shock, they give first. A watch with shock absorption properties should be able to meet the demands of DIN 8308-A. The testing includes the watch being hit by a hammer at 4.4m/s (equivalent of the watch being dropped from a one metre height onto a solid wooden floor). The watch must then not show a rate of deviation of more than +/- 60 seconds a day. Stainless steel An alloy of steel, nickel and chrome provides longevity and is extremely hard-wearing along with being favourable to the wearer. Super-LumiNova® (Right) A luminous paint used on the watch dial that does not display any radioactive properties. The luminous effect is based on the principle of phosphorescence. Super-LumiNova® therefore needs to be charged by an external light source. As many as 15 to 20 coats of Super-LumiNova® paint are applied to quality dials in very small measures to ensure that luminous dials are effective whilst not encroaching on the aesthetic qualities of a superior dial.
display local time together with the official world time standard – UTC, or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or Zulu time (Z). UTC (replacing GMT in 1972) is therefore used as the standard clock of choice for international reference time in communications, military, aviation, maritime and other activities that cross time zones. Vickers hardness A common scale used to determine the hardness of a material (using a pyramidal diamond indenter). The impression created by the diamond on the surface is measured and the hardness calculated. Stainless steel, for example, ranges from 200 to 240 HV, titanium 210 HV, sapphire crystal 2000 HV and diamond 4500 to 10,000. Water resistance A pressure resistance of at least 5 Bar is guaranteed for every Bremont watch. This corresponds to the pressure of water at a depth of 50 metres statically tested. Water resistant properties cannot be permanently guaranteed and we therefore recommend that seals are checked annually.
Trip-Tick® Trip-Tick® technology consists of 3 parts: the top bezel containing the sapphire crystal, the central body consisting of a middle barrel, and the steel or crystal back. For both longevity and aesthetics, the separate middle section allows our case designers to use differing constituents to alter the weight of the watch, and utilise contrasting colours offering variety between product styles. UTC UTC stands for ‘Universal Time Coordinated’ and allows the wearer to
