Bremont’s new Broadsword Recon is a contemporary take on the three handed ‘Dirty Dozen’ field watch design. This series of 12 watches from 12 different Swiss manufacturers was commissioned by the UK’s Ministry of Defense during WWII, to create standardized mil-spec wristwatches for active duty personnel. Part of Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection, the 40-mm stainless steel Broadsword Recon features a matte black dial with hands, numerals and indices coated with vintage Super-LumiNova (green emission). Stamped with the three badges of the British Armed Forces, the case back states Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces – the collection was designed and approved by the MoD during the reign of Elizabeth II. The Recon is delivered with a striped canvas NATO strap and one additional strap, a black rubber strap or a dark brown leather strap. Limited to 200 pieces.
