March is a huge month for the luxury watch industry, with many brands finding it the perfect time to announce their new releases for the year, and Bremont are no different. With a total of 10 new watches announced at their ‘Townhouse’ event, there is plenty to get excited about.
Bremont’s Townhouse event has become such a wonderful immersive experience where we the retailer can enjoy guided tours of their Henley based HQ ‘The Wing’. They also provide evening panel shows with great guest speakers and even a cars and coffee morning on the Saturday. The week long showcase really does make you appreciate the product more and be proud that such product is back being made in the UK at such scale with a luxury feel.
Jet Series
The Jet variants of Bremont watches have been hugely popular so far and these three new lines continue a strong theme with a bold look. Two of the products will become familiar to our TV screens, worn by Ambassadors Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox and Aldo Kane, whilst the third product is pure military based with a heritage piece.
Bremont Supermarine Chrono Jet
Foxy’s newly dedicated watch is an upgrade from one of Bremont’s oldest and most revered watches, the ‘Supermarine Chronograph’. As an ex Special Forces Operator, Jason Fox has found fame with his appearances on Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins, and the presenter of the investigative documentary series ‘Meet the Drug Lords: Inside the Real Narcos.’
In the latest series of Meet the Drug Lords, Foxy will be seen putting this rugged Chronograph through its paces. Bremont promote themselves as ‘Tested Beyond Endurance’ and their ambassadors are certainly encouraged to do so. The 43mm case is brought to the Jet concept with the application DLC ‘Diamond Like Carbon’, a finish that is super tough with a flat matt finish, perfect for plenty of wear and tear.
You can find more info on this product by viewing our listing here.
Bremont Supermarine S502 Jet
Built around the more traditional divers’ variant of the Supermarine, this Jet model will be worn by Aldo Kane. Aldo is a former Royal Marines Commando Sniper and great friend of Jason Fox. Aldo is heavily involved in the Meet the Drug Lords series too, being the communicator and show’s security expert with some of the most dangerous cartels in South America.
Aldo certainly knows whether a luxury watch can handle his adventurer’s lifestyle and the truth is the vast majority simply can’t. But his new commissioned Supermarine S502 can! Bremont’s military background working closely with the MOD is huge in creating confidence that their watches are designed for the extreme and Aldo will definitely take them to the extreme.
More info on this handsome timepiece can be found here for the leather strap model and here for the rubber strap model.
Bremont AIRCO I Mach Jet
The third Jet release for 2022 is based around the ‘The Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited’ one of the earliest British Military Aircraft manufacturers. Aviation is arguably the biggest influence on Bremont as a brand. The English Brothers who are the founders of Bremont are proud of their upbringing under their father who was an aeronautical engineer and pilot, and passed down his love and knowledge of aviation to his sons.
Commonly known to Bremont fans as the ‘AIRCO MACH’ collection, these watches are designed to have an air of the ‘old school’ in look and feel to represent their concept. This new updated Jet model looks super modern thanks to the DLC finish and Khaki Sailcloth strap. A real military vibe is given off on inspection of this watch, investigate more details of this watch here.
Bremont Dambuster Limited Edition
As part of the partnership with Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD), Bremont is commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Lancaster Bomber first seeing service in 1942, and the subsequent Dambusters Raid in 1943. Paying tribute to this iconic Second World War aircraft and courageous mission with the release of the Limited Edition Bremont Dambuster.
Bremont have built a loyal fan base built on commemorative timepieces all with a British story. The Dambuster like others will feature a piece of material from an aircraft incorporated into the presentation. Bremont this time has secured a piece of Aluminium from on the Avro Lancaster’s and will utilise this in a pair of sterling silver collectors’ cufflinks that will be gifted with the purchase of this watch.
Limited to just 232 numbered pieces, even the number of models produced has significance. The Lancaster had to fly at precisely 232mph at 60ft to successfully bounce the bomb. Amazing details carry through onto the case-back honouring the eight planes that unfortunately did not return.
Williams Collection
William’s partnership with Bremont continues for 2022. As the official timing partner of the Formula 1 team, Bremont’s branding can be seen in the world’s most prestigious motor sport. Professional drivers for Williams, Alex Albon and Nicholas Latifi will be seen wearing this, the new WR-22 sports Chronograph.
Bremont Williams WR-22
Sports chronographs are one of the watch industry’s most beloved watches. The day to night look of the designs allows for these watches to be dressed up or dressed down and the WR-22 is a great example of this. Williams Racing’s history dates back to 1977 and this chronograph has certain elements that give off a subtle retro vibe.
A colour palette of oxford blue, electric blue, red and white helps to bring the Williams theme to life. Their iconic colours are used throughout, but not too much so the watch has an understated elegance. The very wearable 43mm case can be purchased with either a bracelet or a new ‘Alcantara’ strap, a material traditionally used for racing car steering wheels.
Bremont Williams Racing Limited Edition Box Set
The showpiece release of 2022 is this magnificent collector’s box set. A limited edition of just 50 box sets produced, this extremely special purchase comes with 2 unique timepieces both with the same number on the case back and a ‘Race Day’ experience at ‘The Grove’, the official home of Williams Racing.
Exceptionally special and rare does seem appropriate to recognise what this box set is, as both watches included are exclusive to the set. The above WR-22 is given the DLC treatment and fitted with the Alcantara strap. For the other model Bremont has opted for an ARICO and emblazoned it with the Williams colour palette.
We love the contrast in these two watches, one being super sporty and one being very traditional. The owner of the box set at the very least will have two very different watches to add to the rarity factor. The display case will also feature a used Formula 1 wheel nut and you can look forward to an amazing weekend with Williams for a money can’t buy experience. We have only secured one of these boxsets and it will sell out, click here to view more.
2022 looks to be a solid start for Bremont and their development. All-in-all this looks to be the strongest line-up of new launches we have seen with three more watches adding bronze variants to other collections, such as the handsome Supermarine Descent II.
