Το Dumont ήταν το 1ο ανδρικό wristwatch.οι γυναίκες φορούσαν νωρίτερα,οι άνδρες τα θεωρούσαν γυναικείο αξεσουάρ κ τα φόρεσαν αναγκαστικά κατά την διάρκεια στρατιωτικών επιχειρήσεων.
Την ιστορία έτσι την ξέρω κ γω το 1ο gmt το airman κ την επόμενη χρονιά το gmt master που δημιουργήθηκαν με γνώμονα τους πιλότους.
Απ ότι θυμάμαι πιλότος ειπε σε executive της glycine όταν έπιασαν την κουβέντα πως θα ήταν το ιδανικό ρολοι για τους πιλότους κ έτσι δημιουργήθηκε το airman..η τουλάχιστον έτσι λέει ο θρυλος

Travel watch όπως το αποκαλούσε μέχρι πρόσφατα η Rolex ή cosmopolitan watch όπως το αποκαλεί πλέον.Και οι πιλότοι,ταξιδιώτες και κοσμοπολίτες είναι.
Δε γίνεται πιλότος ενα καταδυτικό ρολοι αν του βάλεις δεύτερη ώρα και 24ωρο bezel.

Σωστός. Δεν κατάλαβα το τρολαρισμα.

Το gmt, βγήκε για ταξιδευτές.  Και δουλεύει και σε αμπρια,, υποβρύχια, πόλους. Προφανώς και δεν είναι πιλότος. Το φορανε όμως οι πιλότοι,  αλλά των εμπορικών. 

Οι κανόνικοι πιλότοι,  ηταν στρατιωτικων εφαρμογών, και μάλιστα, των ελικοφόρων.

Σωστός.Και η ίδια η Rolex σαν travel watch το προώθησε.
Αν μια εταιρία βάλει στο diver της gmt δείκτη και bezel,το ρολόι δεν γίνεται πιλότος…εκτός κί αν,για κάποιους,είσαι η ρόλεξ.😂

Τελικά, όλα σαν Rolex GMT δείχνουν. Αλλάζουν τα χρώματα μόνον και οι......τιμές.

Μα γι αυτο είπα ωραίος πιλότος τρολαροντας.Προφανως δε το θεωρώ αυτό πιλότο,το diver τους είναι το supermarine σε έκδοση gmt,όπως ακριβώς δε θεωρώ πιλότο και το Rolex gmt.

Όντως, πολύ όμορφο ρολόι...

Bremont's Bomber-Inspired Watch Plays It Sleek and Stealthy

Inspired by the high-altitude Avro Vulcan jet, the new timepiece blends military cues with understated styling.

I you live in the United States, the chances are slim that you’ve ever heard the sound of an Avro Vulcan. But if you grew up in certain parts of the UK—particularly near RAF bomber bases during most the second half of the 20th century—both its highly unusual silhouette and the noise it made are unforgettable. Part howl, part roar, part primeval belly scream, it’s a bowel-loosening racket that could crack the sky.

The Avro Vulcan was a Cold War, jet-age successor to wartime British heavy bombers like the Avro Lancaster. A tailless, high-altitude, delta-wing jet that served in the Bomber Command of the RAF for almost 30 years until its retirement in 1984, it couldn’t have looked more different than its predecessor. And it’s this iconic, supersonic plane—which last flew in a public display in 2015—that is the inspiration behind UK watch brand Bremont’s latest creation.

The Avro B-1 Vulcan is an addition to the Armed Forces collection, in which Bremont is granted the right to use the insignia of all three branches of the British military. The watch is 42mm in steel and its design is based on the Bremont Arrow, an earlier model dedicated to the RAF. Nods to the Vulcan itself are subtle, including a 3D-effect camo pattern in the running seconds sub-dial that is based on the camo on the huge delta wing of the plane itself. The other sub-dial carries a similar black-on-black nuclear payload logo. (A tidbit for plane nerds: In 1960 and 1961, the RAF took part in joint exercises over America. In the first sortie, 7 out of 8 Vulcans scored successful “bombing runs” over targets on American soil. The next year, they were 8 for 8. Weird no one heard them coming.)

On the solid case back, the RAF insignia is paired with the profile of the aircraft. The case back also bears the inscription “Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces,” as it was approved during the late Queen’s reign so according to protocol cannot refer to His Majesty’s Armed Forces. Notably, the chronograph function is operated by a single pusher rather than the more conventional two. Inside, the watch is powered by a modified BE-51AE movement developed at Bremont’s Henley on Thames headquarters. It has a 56-hour power reserve. Straps come in “RAF blue” sailcloth, and also in blue-and-black camouflage. If you love planes and you love watches, there’s an even chance there’s a Bremont out there in your future. Meanwhile, search for “Avro Vulcan Howl” on YouTube to get an idea of that sound.

Bremont Launches Limited Edition to Honor King Charles

British watchmaker Bremont releases a limited edition based on the Martin-Baker ‘MB’ range on the occasion of the coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, which will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023. Limited to just 50 pieces, the MBII King Charles III is presented in a stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter and 14.5mm in height.

It is water-resistant to 100 meters and equipped with the brand’s Trip-Tick case concept. In addition, the case boasts an inner soft iron anti-magnetic Faraday cage to protect the movement, the automatic BE-36AE, which is a COSC certified chronometer, from magnetic fields.

The special edition features a luminescent white dial with hour and minute cathedral hands and a poignant regal purple second’s hand. There is a small date window at 3 o’clock. Turning the watch over reveals a closed case back that is engraved with the coronation emblem. The MBII King Charles III watch is complimented by a black calf leather strap with white stitching and a stainless-steel pin buckle.

Pricing for the Bremont MBII King Charles III is marked at $4,995 USD and is available for purchase via the brand’s website.

Mark Strong Signs on as Bremont Watches’ New Ambassador

The London-born actor, who stars in 'Tár,' says he's proud to be the face of the U.K.-based brand: "It feels good knowing I'm wearing a watch that was made in Britain."

Status watch brands are showcasing a stellar list of ambassadors in their current campaigns, including Ryan Gosling for TAG Heuer, Bradley Cooper for Louis Vuitton’s Tambour timepiece, Gisele Bündchen for IWC and Jennifer Lawrence for Longines. In October, British-based Bremont announced its newest face, Mark Strong, in conjunction with the release of the brand’s Supernova, an integrated bracelet watch. The London-born actor known for his roles in 1917 and Kingsman: The Secret Service (which featured Bremont timepieces) spoke exclusively with THR about his love of watches and his new gig.

What’s your earliest memory of a watch that turned you into a fan?

I’ve loved watches ever since I was a kid and got my first electronic watch [a digital Casiotron], which seems very Space Age when you consider it today. The look of a beautiful watch face, the accuracy of a quality timepiece and the fact that you wear it on your wrist as a visible piece of jewelry, which is something that I [otherwise] don’t wear at all, is the reason I love watches

Before you got to know Bremont through Kingsman, which style of watches caught your eye?

I was always aware of watches that were from the so-called famous brands, the ones that are ubiquitous, expensive and difficult to get ahold of. My taste was pretty varied: My main interest was in elegance and quality, though I liked diving watches and sports watches as well, so if a watch face looked interesting and classic, that was probably to my taste. Nothing too big or clunky or busy.

How has working with Bremont turned you into more of a watch nerd?

I was fascinated to visit the Bremont manufacture, [known as] “The Wing,” in Henley-on-Thames, and see the machinery that had been invented and adapted by Bremont to make their watches and the fact that almost every single piece is engineered in that factory. The accuracy and delicacy with which parts are created and assembled was something I was really interested in, and I didn’t realize I would be until I visited The Wing and spoke to [Bremont co-founders] Nick and Giles English.

What’s the watch you’re reaching for most these days?

My favorite at the moment is the Bremont Longitude, which has some of the original Flamsteed Meridian Line from the Greenwich Observatory built into it and features new Bremont engineering, all made in the U.K. It’s just a beautiful thing to wear and has a wonderful feature: a red dot appears in the power reserve window and fills up as the watch is fully wound, to mimic the red ball at the top of the Greenwich Observatory.

Introducing the Bamford x Bremont Watch Collab
The British brands unite on a new limited edition

Not so long ago George Bamford couldn’t get arrested in the watch business.

Or maybe it’s more correct to say the watch business would have liked to have seen George Bamford get arrested.

His company, Bamford Watch Department, made its money by “personalising” very high end watches, notably Rolexes and Patek Philippes. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) – a tough, matt black coating used on industrial drills – became a Bamford trademark, a way to decisively de-bling gold and steel timepieces.

Colourful accents, cartoon characters and Day-Glo sheens were also popular with customers who wanted their already exclusive watch to look even more so.

Produced without the brands’ approval, Bamford was persona non grata within the staid Swiss business, whose acknowledgment extended to pointing out that any customisation voided warranties and was to be discouraged.

But Bamford was ahead of the curve. Since starting out in the early 2000s customisation and personalisation have become big news in luxury. Jean-Claude Biver, the revered then-boss of the LVMH Watch Division, who own Tag Heuer, Hublot and Zenith, called him up in 2017 and added him to the payroll.

Bamford special editions have since appeared in collaboration with everyone from Bulgari to G-Shock, while his own line of more accessibly priced watches, Bamford London, is going great guns.

His latest collab, and there’s more to come this year, is with Bremont.

There’s a synchronicity here – both Bamford and Bremont are British, and have successfully forged a path apart from the Swiss giants.

Bremont is best-known for its pilot’s watches – you’ll search in vain to find a magazine profile of founders Nick and Giles English that doesn’t feature a picture of them beaming next to their 1953 Max Holste Broussard six-seat monoplane – but it has a whole portfolio of other models, too.

Its Supermarine line of diving watches debuted in 2009, named, with a suitably Bremont military flourish, after the Supermarine S6B Schneider Trophy Seaplane, a 1930s British amphibious aircraft that could take off and land on water.

Together Bamford and Bremont have reengineered the Supermarine S500. The new model comes in Bamford’s DLC finish and with ‘California Blue’ Super-Luminova – another of his favourites – across the retooled hands and indexes.

Other elements of the Supermarine design remain intact, including Bremont’s “Trip-Tick” three-piece case, 500 meters of water resistance and the screw-down crown in the unusual position of 2 o’clock.

“I have known Nick and Giles for a while now and we became firm friends when I was moving into my Mayfair office and they were parking a very cool Jaguar in the car park opposite,” George Bamford says. “I always said we should do something together and this project feels right. It represents the blend of two British brands working together.”

The Bremont S500 Bamford Special Edition is limited to 250 watches. It costs £3,995.

Bremont Dives Deep with the Supermarine Descent II

Bremont has unveiled its new releases for 2022. Among the line-up is the Supermarine Descent II, a striking addition to its renowned Supermarine 500 collection, which is water-resistant to 500 meters and offers a GMT indication. The 43mm diver’s watch is made from aviation-grade titanium and features a unidirectional bronze bezel with a sapphire insert that frames a black dial. Its hands and indexes are likewise crafted from bronze and filled with Super-Luminova to ensure best readability in the dark and under water. The GMT hand contrasts well thanks to its bright blue color.


The Supermarine Descent II uses Bremont’s “Trip-Tick” three-piece case construction with a DLC-treated barrel, a helium escape valve, and a crown at two o’clock with a guard on the side of the inner barrel.

Turning the watch over reveals a beautifully finished automatic movement through the exhibition case back. As with all Bremont watches, the BE-93-2AV has earned a chronometer certification. The Supermarine Descent II is available on a Harbour Blue or Black Rubber Strap and retails for $4,495.

Bremont's new Longitude features the brand's first manufacture movement


Bremont is bringing British watchmaking back with its first-ever manufacture movement, the ENG376. The movement is based on a caliber from Swiss firm "THE+," which Bremont has acquired the full rights to manufacture and re-engineer. The end result is the Bremont 11 1/2" ENG376, an automatic with a silicon escape wheel and pallet running at 25,500bph, KIF Shock protection, a solid Tungsten oscillating weight, and a 65-hour power reserve. This all comes housed in Bremont's new Longitude timepiece, a 40mm watch that comes in steel, white gold, and rose gold. The watch features a metal dial with a big date window and a power reserve indicator that is inspired by the red ball at the top of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
