Bremont Supermarine Chrono Watch
Starting off our run down of top Bremont watches for Christmas is this magnificent Bremont Supermarine Chronograph. Arguably one of the brand’s most iconic designs, the Supermarine was first launched back in 2009 and was described as an “amphibious” watch which was just as suited to the cockpit as it was the ocean. Today, that very same functionality is revived alongside chronograph complication in the Bremont Supermarine Chrono. Powered by the BE-54AE automatic winding movement, the chronograph complication offers three subsidiary dials for the small seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours, a red GMT hand to pair with the 24 hour scale and sword-shaped Superluminova bronze hands for hours and minutes. This mass of complications is laid out clearly on a smooth black dial embraced within a bidirectional bezel and a 43mm stainless steel case. To complete its sophisticated aesthetic, a matching stainless steel three-row link bracelet and folding buckle is added.
Bremont World Timer ALT1-WT Watch
After the last two years, we’re all desperate to get back into travelling and since restrictions are finally easing, what better way to celebrate a new year full of adventure than with a Bremont World Timer watch. This stylish instrument is equipped with a unique patented Roto-Click bezel and 24 hour hand for telling the time in multiple time zones all powered by the BE-54AE automatic movement, a COSC certified calibre with an accuracy of -4 to +6 seconds a day. The world timer function is displayed on a gorgeous navy blue dial engraved with a globe and detailed with contrasting black chronograph counters and bright yellow accents for easy legibility. The case of the Bremont World Timer ALT1-WT watch continues to meet Bremont’s high expectations measuring to 43mm with a scratch resistant DLC case barrel, sapphire crystal glass and a luxurious blue calfskin leather strap.
Bremont Armed Forces Broadsword Bronze Watch
If you’re shopping for a Christmas gift idea for a gentleman that loves watches with a history, look no further than this Bremont Broadsword Bronze watch. As part of the brand’s Armed Forces collection, the design has been inspired by the original “Dirty Dozen” watches created during World War II for military personnel. In line with that, the series has been designed in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence in tribute of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces. It is the only of their kind officially permitted to use the signs, symbols and Heraldic badges of the Royal Navy, British Army and the Royal Air Force. With that in mind, the Bremont Broadsword Bronze watch features all three symbols on the back of its unique bronze case which continues to impress by developing its own patina over time completely bespoke to its wearer. At the centre of the 40mm case is a stunning “Soktek” dial dressed in a green-blue hue with Superluminova hardware and the BE-95-2AV automatic winding with a 38 hour power reserve. Securing the case to the wrist is a distressed brown strap and a matching bronze pin buckle.
Bremont Solo Lady K Watch
Now for something for feminine wrists. The Bremont Solo Lady K watch would be perfect gift idea for a Mum this Christmas thanks to its sentimental backstory. Its design and name is taken from the boat the Bremont co-founder’s father handmade their mother before his passing. In remembrance of this, and a nod to their mother’s own artistic and adventurous spirit, Nick and Giles English launched the Solo Lady K dressed in a mesmerising black Tahitian mother of pearl dial and adorned in an abundance of diamonds. On the dial, there are eight full-cut 1.3mm VS2 GH diamonds to match with the further 60 white brilliant cut 1.35mm VVS FG diamonds placed on the stainless steel bezel. Bremont promises that all diamonds used are ethically sourced, follow the Kimberley Process and are conflict free. As well as being absolutely beautiful, the watch promises only the best in precision a performance with a 34mm stainless steel case, COSC certified automatic movement, 42 hour power reserve, sapphire crystal glass and a 500 metre water resistance.
Bremont MB Savanna Special Edition Watch
For a luxury watch collector, you can’t go amiss with a special edition watch like the Bremont MB Savanna. It takes most of its architecture from the brand’s popular Martin Baker watch collection which has been designed in collaboration with the Martin Baker British Aviation Company to ensure it can endure the very same vibration, temperature and salt fog tests as real plane ejection seats. Alongside this familiar robustness, the Bremont MB Savanna watch is delivered for the first time in grade 5 titanium with a military-inspired matt finish and a protective tactical coating. From within the 43mm case, a patented inner bi-directional Roto-Click bezel displays a 60 minute scale operated by the crown at 4 o’clock. The name of the special edition obviously comes from its colourway inspired by the harsh Savanna environment and military camouflage colours with a muted grey dial dressed in sand-coloured Grade X1 Superluminova coated indexes and hands. The leather strap also matches finished in a stealthy beige.
Bremont Solo Watch
Last but certainly not least, we have one of the brand’s most classic pilot’s watches, the Bremont Solo. Inspired by the aviation instruments from the 1940’s, this cockpit-worthy watch promises only the best in precision and legibility with a COSC certified automatic winding movement and large cream Superluminova numerals at the centre of a clean black dial. It’s 43mm stainless steel case is designed to leave just as big an impression on the wearer as a pilots first solo flight does with a statement scratch resistant DLC treated case barrel and a stunning exhibition case back revealing the BE-36AE movement inside. Domed sapphire crystal glass adds another level of resilience while for a touch of comfort, the Bremont Solo watch opts for a black calfskin leather strap.
