Bremont is expanding its Armed Forces Collection with a black DLC coated version of the Broadsword chronometer. The Armed Forces Collection draws inspiration from a series of watches commissioned for the British Army during WW2 nicknamed the Dirty Dozen. These rugged standard issue watches inspired the new Broadsword Jet – an online exclusive. The Jet’s hefty bronze crown stands out against the 40-mm black DLC coated steel case, fitted to a black rubber strap with a bronze buckle. A black metal dial sets off mint color SuperLumiNova indices, white Super-LumiNova-coated Arabic numbers and bronze hands with white SuperLumiNova inserts. The dial also includes a date window at 3 o’clock and a sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock. Inside, Bremont’s BE-95-2AV movement produces a 38 hour power reserve. Turning the watch over, the DLC coated case back is engraved with the heraldic badges of all three branches of the British Armed Forces. Bremont is the only watchmaker authorized by the MOD to legitimately use these signs, symbols and insignias.
