[ Bremont ]

Bremont, successfully launched in 2007, offers a range of exceptional quality, highly-developed timepieces designed to exacting specifications with high
aesthetic values.

Bremont watches, although made using only fine-quality Swiss components hand-
assembled by the best watchmakers working from a dedicated atelier in Biel-
Bienne, contain an air of quintessential Britishness, derived from the brands
founders, brothers and aviators Nick and Giles English.

Following on from the ALT1 and BC ranges introduced in 2007, and the success of
the BC-S1 and the BC-S2 series, now comes the new EP120, named after and
inspired by a very special aircraft that first flew in 1942. MORE>>

[ via Graham ]

The new Graham Chronofighter was inspired by the English fighting forces, and although it is called a Diver, it was originally designed for combat pilots, wearing gloves. That is the reason for the massive left-handed fast-action start/stop lever. The 47 mm case is stainless steel with a PVD carbide treatment. The dial is black and orange and the caseback is solid, with the royal marine crown emblem. The movement is automatic mechanical G1732. The watch is a diver watch, even though it was originally intended for use by pilots, and has a water-resistance of 1000 meters. It is currently available for a retail price of $11,000 USD.
