BremontMartin Baker II

British watchmaker Bremont has a longstanding association with aviation, and their passion is no more recognisable than in its various limited-edition releases. The MB-II was created in collaboration with Martin-Baker, an aviation company responsible for supplying 70% of all air forces with fighter ejection seat technology.

The watch is constructed to withstand the same rigorous testing the seats undergo, and Bremont uses a floating movement mount to ensure reliable functionality of the Chronometer-certified BE-36AE calibre under heavy g-forces. The 43mm stainless steel case makes use of Bremont’s ‘Trip Tick’ three-piece construction. Several colour options are available on the middLe section, including a striking orange colour, as seen on this example.

The dial is inspired by classic aviation watches and is designed with legibility in mind. Crisp white Arabic numerals mark the hours and provide maximum contrast against the matt black face. The dished rehaut around the perimeter acts as a timing device and can be rotated via the crown at 4 o’clock. Attached to the case is a factory leather strap with contrast stitching and a Bremont signed pin-buckle.

This 2010 example shows light signs of wear, and its condition is within the bounds of the seller’s A grading. The sale includes a Bremont leather pouch, two spare straps, and a strap tool.
