Like the majority of other military models, it's based again on the classic Bremont ALT1-Z watch design - however the matt black dial consists of very subtle dial markers - these are greyed out, however the use of red is used to great effect on the hands. Something interesting to note, is the '6' symbol (At 3H on the GMT dial) which is in Red and not clearly a 6 symbol. I do not know what this indicates, but it is an interesting feature which I am sure is something the squadron wanted.
Central to the dial is the 'barely there' stealth bomber graphic. I've managed to boost this for the photographs but in reality it really is camouflaged: In many ways it acts like the B2 itself - hidden away but always present!
I hear that early design concepts saw the hands also being blacked out - however Bremont were keen to make the hands legible and look less like a fashion watch(!) - I agree and because of this the watch is still highly legible.
On the wrist this watch is a real beauty - because of it's design, it's not going to appeal to everyone - it's not as classic looking as the B-52 but as a statement piece, particularly if you already had a ALT1-Z or MBII this is a watch which really makes a statement!
Should Bremont ever release this (If any of their military watches do become civilian versions: this should probably be the one to do so) I can imagine it getting some fantastic press coverage - not only does it have the tested military accreditation, it's a bold and dramatic design which you can just imagine being featured in many Watch supplements and magazines.
** Remember - You cannot buy this watch ! **
However of course, this may very well never been seen in public again, and like it's namesake will disappear from view but be ever present in the skies!
