Bremont seem to have taken a shift downmarket. Some very generic ETA/Sellita movement stuff that they've released that could equally say Alpina on the dial and we'd be none the wiser.

Bremont have junked everything they have done to date in one fell swoop.
Brand changed
Logo also changed to a very generic compass point.
Their unique design feature, the Trip-tick case abandoned.
One of their best models, the supermarine 300, now made very generic and dull.
Everything looks like a kickstarter AI pitch for watches designed to look faux vintage and over-macho at the same time.
Very, very disappointing. The new boss has made his mark, and I am not a fan
Looking at the website they are continuing with the old logo on old S3 and S5 series watches and the new compass rose logo sees to be reserved for the new releases.
Typically muddled.
There's a new hand wound Grand Seiko hi-beat, but I can't seem to link a photo; it's reference SLGW003.
Here's the Instagram post anyway - https://www.instagram.com/p/C5iLjtLP...JpMmhnM2Fseg==
Very nice. But not cheap at €11.700 in steel and €49.500 in rose gold.Originally Posted by LukeBird

Thanks for posting them.
Lovely looking watch, but I hadn’t seen the price… *gulp*
That’s some serious wedge. It’s not that I think the mechanicals aren’t worth it, but GS for me is all about the quartz and Spring Drive, as I feel these are genuinely bringing something different to market; basically as lovely as this is, no way at that money for me.
Agreed it’s annoyingly expensive, though their prices make much more sense in Japan - 1,420,000 Yen equates to £7,540. Still plenty, but I’m struggling to see the cheap alternative, from the photos they appear to have made something faultless here. The only dressy watches that give me that feeling tend to be extremely high end, in precious metals only. Yes a spring drive could have been an interesting alternative, but a slim 80 hour high-beat hand wound has its merits too. The main objection is perhaps not the watch itself, but pre-conceptions about the brand positioning. However I suspect that even those who are sceptical of the brand would find very little to dislike about this one, if they can see past the logo.
Ouch and double ouch.Very nice. But not cheap at €11.700 in steel and €49.500 in rose gold.
