Bremont Goes Bronze with New Project Possible Limited Edition
Last year, Britain’s Bremont Watch Co. sponsored Nirmal “Nims” Purja, a Gurkha mountaineer and British military veteran, in his historic quest to summit the world’s 14 tallest mountains in less than seven months. Commemorating the successful completion of this record-setting mission, dubbed Project Possible, is the new Bremont Project Possible Limited Edition ? which also happens to be Bremont’s first-ever timepiece with bronze in its case.
Bremont Project Possible Limited Edition
The watch is based on one of Bremont’s sturdiest dive watch models, the Supermarine 500, whose 43-mm case boasts a 500-meter water resistance despite being outfitted with a sapphire exhibition caseback. In the Project Possible edition, limited to 300 pieces, this case is made of titanium, with a black-DLC-coated middle and a unidirectional dive-scale bezel constructed of bronze ? a material used historically in military and naval hardware like compasses and armaments due to its corrosion resistance. The case is outfitted with a helium release valve and a crown protector. The bezel’s insert is made of dark blue ceramic to match the dial. The bronze bezel ? Bremont’s first ? frames a blue ceramic insert.
Under a domed, nonreflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch’s deep blue dial hosts luminous, gold-plated hands, an additional arrow-tipped GMT hand to indicate the time in a second time zone, and a date window at 3 o’clock. ...
