Bremont is a modern British watch brand whose range is built around aviation and diving. It changed noticeably in 2024, which matters when you compare listings. This guide explains the families and what to look for.
Two brothers, both pilots
Bremont was founded in 2002 by the brothers Nick and Giles English, both pilots, and is based in Henley-on-Thames in England. Aviation runs through the range, including watches developed with the ejection-seat maker Martin-Baker.
Bremont cases are known for their three-part construction, with a hardened steel body and a separate middle barrel. Most of its mechanical watches are chronometer rated.
The families
- Supermarine: the dive watches, named after the maker of the Spitfire, from 300 meters of water resistance upward.
- MB: developed with Martin-Baker and tested to the same shocks and vibration as ejection seats.
- ALT1 and Altitude: pilot's chronographs and time zone watches, the family the brand began with.
- Terra Nova: field watches with cushion cases, introduced in 2024.
Before and after 2024
Bremont changed its logo and several designs in 2024. Earlier and later watches of the same family can therefore look quite different. Neither is the "wrong" one, but they are different watches. Compare the photos, and check the year on the listing.
Limited editions
Bremont has made many limited editions, some of which include historic material such as parts of aircraft. The listing explains the edition where it applies. These watches are bought as much for their story as for their specification, so read the description closely.
What to check on a listing
- The family and the reference, which identify the exact version.
- The year, because of the 2024 redesign.
- Water resistance, which differs between a pilot's chronograph and a Supermarine.
- The strap or bracelet supplied with the watch.
