A New Era In Bremont Aviation Watches

Since Bremont was founded in 2002, the drama and wonder of aviation have been at the heart of its story, and of its products. It’s pilot’s watches, robustly engineered and rooted in aviation heritage, have earned the trust of military and civilian fliers, adventurers, collectors and enthusiasts.

In 2025, Bremont proudly builds on a 16-year partnership with Martin Baker which started in 2007 when Martin-Baker, the British-based world-leader aircraft ejector seat design and manufacturer, challenged Bremont to develop a pilot’s watch capable of withstanding the extreme forces of exceeding 20 Gs, extreme temperature swings from -40C to +40C, and dynamic crash tests. Bremont’s answer was the MB (for ‘Martin-Baker’): a watch featuring the brand’s Trip-Tick case construction with an iconic three-part design. The MB series timepieces are specifically designed to withstand the punishing procedures used in testing aircraft ejection seats.

Famously, the MBI model was reserved exclusively for those who have experienced the reality of ejecting from an aircraft – as it still is. But its civilian counterparts, the MBII, and (with a GMT) the MBIII, quickly became enduring favourites in the Bremont line-up, distinguished by their dual crowns, innovative case design, and a seconds hand counterbalanced with a looped feature inspired by the pull-handle of an ejector seat. Spearheading numerous partnerships with military units worldwide, the MB line became a defining pillar of the Bremont story. With the Altitude collection, Bremont is now building on this legacy, and taking this revered aviation tool to new heights of sophistication, performance, and durability.

The most significant evolution of the MB concept to date takes its name from the Gloster Meteor, Britain’s very first jet fighter, and the aircraft used for Martin Baker’s original live ejection test in 1946. For the MB Meteor, Bremont introduces a new bracelet design, crafted in brushed titanium. The MB Meteor is also available on a new, textured leather strap or an artisanal Bremont NATO strap. Complimenting this flagship model, the Altitude 39 Date and the Altitude Chronograph are built on the characteristics of extreme durability, shock resistance, and anti-magnetism while broadening the collection’s, utility, flair and appeal.

CEO, Davide Cerrato, comments: “This year we’re returning to our heritage and celebrating what makes our brand unique. Our DNA is deeply rooted in aviation, a passion that continues to fuel our evolution. This is reinforced by the tenacity of the materials we use and the introduction of new exciting complications to enhance and further develop the Altitude collection.”
