Developing a new watch takes between 18-24 months and you have to seriously love what you are developing and building to keep the enthusiasm going! The main challenge for creating a new watch is how to keep the classic beauty and style of the existing range whilst at the same time producing something innovative.The design has been based around Bremont's unique Trip-Tick three piece case construction.This gives the watch a water resistance depth of 500m(1660ft) but also keeps the curved profile of the 42mm case design. In addition this enables a crown protector to be built onto the side of the inner barrel to protect against knocks.
From the extensive testing that Bremont has been doing here in the UK and Switzerland the watch has been designed with an Anti-Shock™ movement mount to absorb large shocks and it will also be housed in an Anti-Magnetic soft iron Faraday cage to protect the balance, balance spring and escapement from any effects of magnetisation.For clarity the bezel is being made of sapphire crystal which covers the Superluminova C5 numbers. The sapphire crystal will be coated on both sides with 9 layers of anti-reflective coating.The watch has been named after the iconic British aviation manufacturer ‘Supermarine’ who’s most famous product is the Spitfire. Both the cost and delivery times will be announced shortly.
Bremont has also roped the inventor and philanthropist Marc Koska OBE as a new ambassador.Marc is the inventor of the auto-disable syringe that has gone on to
literally save millions of lives around the globe. The syringe can only ever be used once and has therefore helped prevent the spread of various infectious diseases. He is one of the true great British inventors of the last fifty years who has battled
all odds to come up with such a brilliant invention. As a pilot and adventurer he captures the true spirit of Bremont.
