Pre-Owned Bremont MBII 001-103-02641

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

Bremont is a true rarity in the modern timepiece industry. 

Independently owned, the company produces incredibly high-quality, purpose-built timepieces in Great Britain with a distinctively aeronautical theme. Utilizing its custom Trip-Tick cases and modified Swiss calibers tuned to Chronometer grade, Bremont's collection showcases the passion for engineering and aviation that the owners, Nick & Giles English, hold close to their hearts. We're suckers for timepieces with soul, and Bremont has it in spades.

This particular Bremont is one of the company’s classic models, the MBII. Designed in collaboration with Martin Baker, a British maker of ejection seats, the MBII undergoes the same rigorous testing as its namesake product. Housed in a 43mm stainless steel, DLC and aluminum “Trip-Tick” case with a sapphire crystal, dual knurled, signed crowns, and a polished bezel, it features a luminous, matte black dial with Arabic indices, a matching ‘sword’ handset, a red-tipped ‘lollipop’ and ‘election seat’-colored seconds hand, a date window, and an inner, rotating timing bezel. 

Powering the watch is the automatic, chronometer-certified BE-36AE movement with 26 jewels, a Nivaflex 1 mainspring, a 38-hour power reserve, and a specially molded and skeletonized Bremont rotor. Completing the package is a signed, black leather strap with a signed, stainless steel pin buckle. 

Accompanied by its factory goodies, this MBII from the 2010s is one of the 21st century’s coolest tool watches thus far. Classically inspired but built like a modern main battle tank, it’s meant for adventure.

Try it on for size!
