Bremont just released a Limited Edition box set celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Each set includes a pair of watches inspired by the Spitfire and the Hurricane – the two iconic aircraft that defended the United Kingdom. Only 80 Battle of Britain Collection box sets will be produced. Each pair of watches are hand-built by skilled artisans at the Bremont workshops in Henley-on-Thames, UK.
The dial design of the 43mm Bremont BOB Spitfire chronograph comes from the Smiths clocks mounted on the instrument panels of the Spitfires that flew during the Battle of Britain. The closed case back of each watch is stamped with the profile of the Supermarine Spitfire, the most widely produced and strategically important British single-seat fighter of World War II.
The 40mm Bremont BOB Hurricane takes its design ques from the Hawker Hurricane – the plane that inflicted 60% of the losses sustained by the Luftwaffe during the Battle. This model takes design cues from the clocks used in the iconic Hurricane. Turning the BOB Hurricane over reveals a closed case back with the stamped profile of the British single-seat fighter aircraft.
Every customer who purchases a Battle of Britain box set will be eligible for a flight in a Spitfire from Duxford in the UK. Bremont partnered with the Aircraft Restoration Company to arrange the flights, offering each customer an unforgettable experience. Each box set includes a commemorative disc which can be engraved with the date of the flight.
The Battle of Britain Collection ($18,995.00) is available now from bremont.com.
