The collection consists of three pilot’s watches, headlined by the Altitude BM Meteor, the newest and most advanced version of Bremont’s toughest watch. The 42-millimeter case is made from titanium and houses the new BB114-AH automatic movement, with a 68-hour power reserve
Designed to be ejected
In 2007, Bremont teamed up with ejection seat manufacturer Martin-Baker to create a watch that could withstand the rigors of being ejected from a plane mid-flight. Extensive R&D led to the Trip-Tack case, a three-layer system that protects against extreme impact force, magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations.
