Additional Information

Watch Heritage / Backstory:

Founded in 2002, Bremont is based in Henley-on-Thames, England, U.K., and was established by brothers Nick and Giles English. The brand is known for producing high-quality aviation and military-inspired timepieces. Some of Bremont’s notable models include the Altitude, MB1, Supermarine, and Longitude collections.

The Bremont 1918 Limited Edition commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 2018. Steeped in aviation heritage, the RAF has been a globally respected institution providing aerial protection for the United Kingdom and its interests.

This model was a limited run of only 275 pieces, making it a highly collectible timepiece. Additionally, a percentage of the proceeds from the watch’s sale went to the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA), a charitable organization that has been supporting current and former RAF personnel for nearly a century.

Significant Details:

• RAF-Inspired Design Elements: The watch includes RAF-style cufflinks, adding a touch of historical tribute.

• Telemeter Function: Allows measurement of the approximate distance to an event that can be both seen and heard, such as lightning, fireworks, or torpedoes.

• White Dial: Designed to reflect the traditional RAF-issued sector clock, a nod to military aviation heritage.

• Day/Night Disc:

• Day Side: Features an iconic Supermarine Spitfire dogfight scene from the Battle of Britain.

• Night Side: Showcases an Avro Lancaster bomber on a night mission.

• Auto-Winding Propeller: The rotor’s wood hub is made from the RAF F-904 aircraft, with engraved WWII aircraft tail numbers displayed on the propeller blades:

• Supermarine Spitfire N3200

• Hawker Hurricane P3717

• Bristol Blenheim 6739

This special edition watch is not just a chronograph but a historical tribute to the RAF, incorporating authentic materials and aviation-inspired design elements that set it apart.
