3 year warranty

Bremont focuses purely on beautifully made mechanical movements and every watch in our core collection has passed each of the rigorous precision tests necessary for the ISO 3159 chronometer designation. Every movement is finished to the highest levels of craftsmanship and all are guaranteed to within -4 and +6 seconds per day. For this reason Bremont is one of the few watch makers to offer at least a 3-year warranty on every timepiece.
Proudly made in the UK

Great Britain has a wonderful history when it comes to watch making and has probably been the home to more advances in horology than any other nation. Bremont is determined to play a pivotal role in the reinvigoration of this industry on British shores and as a result, Bremont manufactures parts at its Parts Manufacturing Facility and every Bremont is hand-build and tested before leaving the Henley-on-Thames workshop.

Description

The U-2/51-JET adds a new dimension to the existing range. Taking fresh design cues from a military project commissioned by the RAF’s 100 Squadron members to celebrate their centenary and complement their Hawk T1 Jet aircraft. The 100 Squadron was the first squadron formed for night bombing back in 1917 and its stealthy appearance led to the introduction of a new case and middle barrel colour for this watch, aptly named ‘Jet’. Turning the watch over reveals an exhibition case back showing the beautiful automatic movement through tinted black smoked glass.

Non-integrated DLC bracelet, plus additional Nylon Nato Strap.

Introducing a darker side

Introducing a new case and middle barrel colour for this watch, aptly named 'Jet'

Visible always

Being able to read your watch at night is critical, we apply as many as 20 coats of Super-Luminova® paint to ensure optimal visibility in the poorest of lighting conditions.

Multi-Layered Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal

The curved sapphire crystal has multiple layers of scratch resistant anti-reflective coating, ensuring your watch is legible in all light conditions and remains looking it’s best, always.

Roto-Click® Bezel

This technology allows the bi-directional bezel to rotate whilst gliding on a series of four ball bearings, producing excellent accuracy, durability and a satisfying click for every minute rotated.

Anti-shock movement mount

Included in every watch is a rubberised movement mount. A flexible ring connects the mount to the outer case, absorbing shocks and allowing the inner case and movement to float.

Additional Straps

A watch for all occasions

Your watch has been carefully designed to perfectly match its strap, but don’t let that stop you adding your own flair and experimenting with further combinations.

The strap can make your watch look completely different so have a play ‘watch wardrobing’ your desired model and add options to suit any occasion.
