Bremont Commemorates the Battle of Britain with a New Boxed Set ? and a Once-in-a-Lifetime Flight
During the summer and fall of 1940, Britain’s Royal Air Force fought a series of epic aerial conflicts with Nazi Germany’s Luftwaffe in what came to be known as the Battle of Britain. On the occasion of this historical battle’s 80th anniversary, Bremont, the quintessential British pilots’ watch brand, has released a special box set comprising a pair of special-edition watches. Buyers of the set, limited to just 80 pieces, will also receive a very special opportunity to fly in a historical wartime aircraft.
The Battle of Britain set, featuring two commemorative watches, is limited to 80 pieces.
The two watches in the Battle of Britain set pay tribute to the two most legendary historical aircraft that fought in that eponymous conflict, the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane. The BOB Spitfire is a chronograph-equipped wristwatch whose dial design is based on the Smiths clocks found on the instrument panels of Spitfire planes that fought in the Battle of Britain. The matte black dial’s tricompax arrangement features subdials at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock, a date window at 4 o’clock, and a central GMT hand to indicate a second time zone on the flange’s 24-hour scale.
