Bremont EP 120 Spitfire Chronograph
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.
The recently launched limited edition EP120 watch is named after (and contains parts of) a famous 1942 Spitfire Mk V aircraft, which is possibly the most credited WWII fighter in existence and is now based in Duxford in Cambridgeshire. It shot down 6 German aircrafts on one day during 1942 in WWII, and the aircraft has been used in films such as The Battle of Britain, and starred as the lead Spitfire in Pearl Harbour and Dark Blue World. Some of EP120's original parts, saved during restoration, are integrated into Bremont's EP120 range in beautiful ways, including the dial and movement.
With a limited number of 120 to be made and each one unique, there has been much interest in the beautifully hand finished time pieces.
The EP120 features a black DLC treated steel case and COSC certified movement with a rotor hand-made out of the original EP120 Spitfire parts. It has a modified 13 ¼" BE 53AE Automatic Chronometer with 24 hour UTC function and 30 minute Chrono 'Time of Trip' dial, which is also an original Spitfire part.
You may happen to see the new EP120 Spitfire watch on the wrists of its many ambassadors and friends including Charley Boorman, Ewan McGregor, Jeremy Clarkson, Bear Grylls, Orlando Bloom, Mike Golding and Jake Meyer, just to name few.
