New Bremont line up! Quite nice!

[Broussard]

I was very pleasantly surprised by this AIRCO Mach 2:

thanks David, can't beat a bit of tweed in the winter :)

Any idea if these will be shipped with a Nato as well as leather/bracelet like the MBII's or Blackbays?

It can be arranged at no extra if they weren't planning to. Don't know what the full package is yet.

Cheers. Give me a shout when they appear. Although I am still waiting for a different call.

On sale in the summer, probably only a single strap.

Confession: I like Bremonts.

Recently acquired a MBII from this very parish and I am impressed by the general quality, finish and wearability of it.

I think that Supermarine 301 looks delicious. Quite a lot like a Black Bay Black, yes, and I'd probably not buy one myself for that reason, but I like it.

A word about the curvy lugs: They look odd from above, and I honestly don't know why Bremont has chosen to highlight them in such a poor way in all their renders. But in the metal they have a nice texture and curve to them, and I find them very comfortable. From the side they look original and distinctive.

Edit: And as you can see from Middo's photos, the lugs don't look nearly so bulbous in real life.

Me too


Looking at the pictures on one of the Bremont forums, the lugs of the S300/1 look far better than the renders. The S301 overall is pretty nice, and a real alternative to the Black Bay Black

If they all looked as good as that, I wouldn't have been so pessimistic. Very nice.

Nicely executed, but I do think the dial is a bit "flat" compared with the Omega and Tudor alternatives

Absolutely
Actually improves on the Tudor BB.
BTW, Borealis has done a good Tudor homage/copy

Sorry, not for me - most of them look extremely derivative, and those that don't are plain ugly. And the prices are silly.

Walked past 33 Fitzroy Square, London tonight. All done up for a Bremont event. Including what looked like a full sized chromed cafe racer - I assume a Triumph. Anyone going? Food smelled nice and plenty of champers lol

It was a Norton TT racer (Bremont sponsor it). They have a matching norton edition watch you can buy (but only if you have one of the limited edition norton bikes)

I'm trying to upload s photo of it to photobucket so I can post it for you

[triumph coupe]

Here is a watch in the meantime 😉

and the supermarine s300

[hilly10]

Quite like the Boeing model, beautiful movement through the display glass.

You can preorder from Jura now... just scroll to the bottom...

Supermarine looks fantastic in the matt black - very similar to the TBB. Like it.

[RAJEN]

The more I see,the more I like a couple of them.
Overall response seems a positive one here.
Still a couple of naysayers left I see though:-)

[exarkun12]

The new jag in white is pretty cool as well

[learningtofly]

I have to say there are some lovely watches there. I think 2017 will see my first Bremont purchase!

I am very tempted by the 301 supermarine...

I do like this. The Airco:

More AIRCO Mach 1 from last week

[jason.humphrey.180]

Thanks for posting OP.

The S300 an S301 certainly have some borrowed ideas in their styling, but if the size is good on my smaller wrist I wouldn't discount them. Especially as I keep trying on Black Bay's (because I love the look) and find them a tad too big and too tall with their slab sides.

[mowflow]

The supermarine has grown on me based on the wrist shots posted. On the renders the lugs looked horrible.

They are a bit too similar to the black bay though and with the price of the bremont being higher I can't see why you would go that way unless you really couldn't get away with the extra few mm of the black bay. Perhaps if they do big discounts it levels things.

[yonsson]

Unoriginal designs with an ETA movement from a made up brand and it's *more* expensive than a Tudor with an in-house movement and proper history?! So many better options at that price range.

Agree! Somehow I just find them uninspiring, too expensive and boring. The "made in ..." is also off putting, ever since I read that "made in Britain" article written by a watch maker it just feels sad.

Kind of fashionable to have that view till up to two years ago.
Thankfully, most people and Bremont have moved on.
The drum beats of 'so expensive for an ETA movement' are fading into the background.

This is probably my favourite of the new designs but i would like to have seen applied indices. I'll be having at look at one as soon as i see one.
I am regretting letting my Supermarine S500 go now..

[Middo]

Made up is a little harsh, they are still in their infancy in established watched terms and you have to start somewhere.

[Nealywheelie]

The Supermarine is indeed a very handsome watch, love the matt dial/bezel, nice hands, splash of red, crown now at 3 o'clock. Only trouble for me is the 40mm diameter, would have been nice at the usual 43 from my point of view.

I don't dislike ETA, I like Sinn a lot but they do their own thing and don't try to call the movement something else.

[Robbyman]

The lugs look at little bulky to me, other than that I like it.

The question is though, is it really worth more that the Tudor Blackbay?

[Rocket Man]

I'm really liking the sunburst blue dial as shown here:

Not sure that I would choose one over the 39mm Planet Ocean though...

Good on Bremont for designing something a little different from the norm.

Not sure I agree with this bearing in mind some of the vintage ideas they've stuck together - the 301 in particular reflects this.

At the moment - pretty bad! However this might change if they get the marketing right. Quality and design (apart from a few duff models) is already there.

Let's hope they don't go the way of Hublot.

I agree. I think their older models have more original designs than these.

[Hammond]

Loving the Supermarine and at £2995 not a bad price either. It does look a bit like my Blackbay Black though so maybe thats why I like it..

Can I nip off topic ever so quickly and ask what strap that is on the Black Bay?

There's a 2016 U2 Blue on sale in Bangkok (not mine), for 95,000 baht, that's approx. £2217, based on the current exchange rate - if that's any help! Current UK price is £3695, which has gone up!

Are links allowed here? Not sure, so basically google 'world wide watches Bangkok' to view. Great shop, anything from Patek to a Seiko monster and all of 5 minutes from where I stay in Bkk, but a not so good website.

Edit - just noticed he has an MBII for the same price.

[charliehowards]

I actually really like some of these, particular the new Norton.

I am a big fan of the Norton motorbikes but the price of £5495 for the watch is a little off putting to me... that's a quarter of the price of the bike itself!

Horologii has uploaded a pretty cool review of it though if anyone is interested:
https://www.horologii.com/watch-bran...-watch-review/

I quite like the Airco range too, especially seeing as these are a little more affordable but then again they are not limited edition... oh the struggles of being a watch collector!
