montre bulgari diagono acqua 2008

Bremont is a young company that mates unique British design with exquisite Swiss craftsmanship. The beauty of its watches almost makes you forget that they are built to take some serious abuse. Bremont’s first dive watch offering, the Supermarine, lives up the company’s slogan, “tested beyond endurance,” with impressive technology like hardened steel for the case, a scratchproof sapphire timing bezel and an internal cage that protects the chronometer-grade Swiss automatic movement from shocks and magnetic fields. And that’s not to mention that it’s water resistant to 500 meters. The Bremont Supermarine is as suited for exploring Atlantis as it is the streets of Manhattan. 88 Uniqueness Spawned in the minds of two British aviation buffs, the Bremont Supermarine is a different take on the diver’s watch compared with what we’re used to seeing. Named for a seaplane that set a speed record and utilizing some of the same design elements as the company’s chronographs and pilot’s watches, the Bremont Supermarine doesn’t look like most of the dive watches on the market today. Its three-piece steel case is a work of art, with a black PVD center barrel sandwiched between elegant sweeping lugs and a screwed-on caseback that displays the watch’s namesake airplane. A unique bolted-on crown guard provides a conversation starter as much as it does protection for the winding crown. You’re unlikely to see anyone else wearing a Bremont Supermarine, either on the dive boat or at the office.

The company’s focus on both classic design and uncompromising toughness bode well for Bremont’s durability. While it’s hard to predict the lasting power of the Supermarine, being a new watch from a new company, its mix of high-quality elements like applied markers, elegant hands, a chronometer movement, and sapphire bezel, along with the unique design touches, leads us to think this is a watch that will be around for a while.
