Bremont Novelties Unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2025

Bremont has had a tough 12 months; their profits dropped, as have the hearts of their followers, and the Terra Nova last year had a lot of stick for many reasons.

We were promised a new range, and Bremont has delivered the Altitude. Based on the success of the Martin Baker model, which has won many hearts, this model has seen a total refresh. Also unveiled at the event were a couple of interesting Jumping Hour models and an addition to the Supermarine series.

So, has Davide Cerrato risen from the ashes of 2024, like the phoenix from the flames? Let’s see what’s been happening at the Wing.

At first, I thought this was an April Fool’s gag, but I think that’s not the case. With two models to choose from, a Bronze limited edition (100 pieces) in 38mm or a 40.5mm stainless steel version.

Inspired by 20^th-century trench watches, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour has a very contemporary design. With a vertically brushed cushion case in cupro-aluminium bronze, this is a statement piece for sure and, like the Bremont rebrand, won’t be for everyone.

The BC634 Jumping Hour calibre powers this, displaying the hours minutes and seconds within apertures on the dial face. A compass-style seconds hand in the centre reinforces the traveller and navigation connection. Its offered on either a matching brushed bronze bracelet or a vintage tan leather strap.

The 904L stainless steel model greatly differs from the bronze version. Its display is on a black lacquered dial that offers a left-to-right time flow. It’s also slightly larger at 40.5mm. It has the same movement and is available on either a stainless steel bracelet or a black leather strap.

Bremont's latest addition to the Supermarine collection, unveiled today at Watches and Wonders 2025, is the Supermarine 500m Stainless Steel model.

This timepiece features a 43mm stainless steel Trip-Tick® case construction, offering water resistance up to 500 meters. The watch is equipped with a helium escape valve and a screw-down crown, ensuring reliability during deep-sea explorations. Its black dial, adorned with Super-LumiNova® coated indexes and hands, provides excellent readability in low-light conditions.

The unidirectional rotating bezel enhances diving functionality, while the automatic movement guarantees precision. This release underscores Bremont's dedication to crafting durable and high-performance dive watches that seamlessly blend functionality with sophisticated design.

This is a new era in aviation watches for the Henley On Thames brand. With a smaller, slimmer, stronger, much more wearable Trip Tick case. Lighter, too, with a smaller lug to lug for a better wrist experience.

Named after the Gloster Meteor, Britain’s very first jet fighter, its 42mm Grade 2 titanium case has been refined and has an upgraded Rotor-Click inner bezel.

The dial is extremely legible and features some subtle stencilled detailing. Retaining its MB DNA, the “lollipop” seconds hand is counterbalanced by a looped “ejection” pull handle in white and black stripes. The model still features the iconic twin crown and powering it is their BB14 calibre, with a 68 hour power reserve.

The movement is suspended within a flexible rubber mount, to absorb shocks and minimise impacts, with an open case back highlighting the movements Geneva Stripes and finishing. The open case-back retains the anti-magnetic shielding, which is provided by a soft iron ring around the movement, based on Faraday Cage principles.

A new quick-release, brushed titanium bracelet compliments the case perfectly and adds curved bars for added articulation.

Perhaps my favourite of the three Altitude models, the 39 Date, keeps the Martin Baker DNA and design language. The case size will suit more wrists with its 39mm dimensions, keeping with the Trip-Tik 904L stainless steel. The DLC-coated centre barrel has the same black finish as the Chronograph GMT.

It offers all the same movement suspension as other models, albeit with a more stripped-down clinical dial. Still, with the cockpit theme, this dial is the most legible of them all. It’s powered by the same movement as the Meteor, with the BB14 and has the same open case and finishing.

The bracelet too, is what’s used throughout the Altitude range and will prove a popular choice, although you also have the option for either a NATO strap or leather option at the time of purchase. With all three models, there are two dial colours to choose from, either a black or silver Galvanic metal. 

Only time will tell if Bremont has the correct recipe for 2025, but judging by first looks and the response to the watches online, I think they might have. The new Altitude models align well with the existing Terra Nova and Supermarine collections, completing the Land, Sea and Air elements that Bremont is known for. And though I’m not so smitten with the jumping hour, I’ve seen that plenty of folks are…
