Bremont has a history of releasing watches that can only be purchased by specific and small groups of qualified applicants. This isn?t completely unusual in watchmaking, where exclusivity is often as highly prized as mechanical ingenuity and great design. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin have watches in their catalogs that require applications (in the case of Patek) or special units within the manufacture that cater to bespoke, one off requests (Vacheron?s Les Cabinotiers division). Bremont?s approach is, well, a little bit different. To acquire one of their Martin-Baker limited editions, you have to have been ejected from a plane using a Martin-Baker ejection seat. And if you?re interested in buying their newest watch, the White Desert chronograph-GMT, you?ll need to have spent some time at the South Pole, and have explored the barren ice-scape on a White Desert expedition.
