Dial details



Influenced by the dial of the Bremont U2 and MBII, this unique dial will be produced in metalic anthracite. It features a 'Professional' style dial ( No hour numerals) and is the first Bremont pilot styled watch in this style. The dial features a larger Bremont logo at 12H and the lucky mascot at 6H.

The dial will feature pure white markers, which will illuminate blue with SuperLumiNova.

Finishing the dial is a MB1 yellow hand and yellowed numerals on the rotating bezel.

About the mascot

This watch featured an adaptation of the famous lucky mascot which has been used on military aircraft since the 1940s. As a result of it appearing on the Max Holst “Broussard” aircraft flown by Bremont founders, Nick and Giles English it has been adopted as an unofficial fan symbol for the brand and makes it’s debut on the ALT1TUDE Special Edition.

I'd personally like to thank everyone who has been instrumental in getting this project off the ground and I am extremely pleased with the end result. I hope there is something in this watch that everyone likes and with a choice of treatments this offers variety of choice! There will be a separate post on the rational of the design posted after this.

This watch will be available to reserve from March 1st 12:00 GMT onwards at a special URL: alt1tude.bremont.com/se

Wow! I like the fact that there are two case designs.

Anthracite barrel should work really well. I like yellow but think it might have been a bit much.

That look really cool very subtle styling well done to all.

[Vig2000]

Very awesome. Well done indeed!

Desperately trying to figure out how to fund this...how much is the deposit? And when would the balance be due Piers?

50% upfront, 50% when the watch is ready to be shipped (Est.May / June) . Bremont will likely invoice any people who reserve the watch for the first 50% over the next 2-3 weeks (They'll do it as a batch).

The watches are likely to be made in two batches - the first 20, then the final 10 - this is dependent though on how quickly we (and if..) reach 30 ;-)

[Jim]

Any idea on the lead times for manufacturing? Are we talking 4 weeks? A few months?

( As stated above, May-June for production of the first batch - ALT1TUDE )

It will be DLC on black vintage for me!
