Cases, Barrels and Crowns | FAQs

  • CAN YOU RE-POLISH MY CASE?

    Only cases made from white or rose gold can be re-polished best possible. Hardened steel and coated cases cannot be re-polished due to their special treatment therefore top bezels are replaced at the time of service (excluding limited edition models) or upon request.

  • DOES DLC BECOME SCRATCHED?

    Although DLC is much harder than generic PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coatings it can still be scratched, so inevitably, over time, wear will become present.

  • WHAT IS DLC & HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

    DLC is ‘Diamond Like Carbon’. It is a nanocomposite coating that has the unique properties of natural diamond – low friction, high hardness (around 3,000 Vickers) and high corrosion resistance. Originally intended as a functional coating to reduce friction and wear in highly stressed components in motor sport engines, it is now also used as a decorative element for luxury goods such as watches. It has excellent properties of hardness, impact, scratch and wear-resistance combined with a noble black metallic look. It is chemically inert (non-tarnishing), odourless and hypoallergenic.

  • WHAT IS SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL?

    Sapphire Crystal is the favoured material for watch crystals due to its exceptional hardness (9 on the Mohs scale). The sapphire crystal has superior scratch-resistant properties compared to mineral or acrylic crystals and is treated with anti-reflective coating.

  • HOW WATER RESISTANT IS MY WATCH?

    Each of the “resistance depths” is not the actual depth at which the watch can be used, but a measurement of pressure which the watch can withstand before any leakage occurs. When you dive or jump into a pool the force exerted upon the glass, case, button and seals is the equivalent of smashing the watch against concrete. Even though the pressure only lasts for hundredths of a second, it can be enough to dislodge seals and allow water to penetrate the movement. All Bremont watches are water-resistant to 100m (as long as the crown has been screwed in), with the following exceptions:

    • Solo 32 models – water-resistant to 50m

    • Supermarine 300 models – water-resistant to 300m

    • Supermarine 500 models – water-resistant to 500m

    • S2000 – water-resistant to 2000m

    Any watch being used as a water-resistant model must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. (See what “What does water-resistant to… mean?”)

  • WHAT DOES WATER-RESISTANT TO 50M MEAN?

    Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 50m (Solo 32 range) are only splash proof so should be removed before swimming.

  • WHAT DOES WATER-RESISTANT TO 100M MEAN?

    Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 100m (the majority of Bremont watches), and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn during surface water sports including swimming and snorkelling. NB Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

  • WHAT DOES WATER-RESISTANT TO 300M MEAN?

    Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 300m (the S300 range), and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn during sports/leisure diving. NB Please ensure that the crown of the watch is fully screwed down first. Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

  • WHAT DOES WATER-RESISTANT TO 500M MEAN?

    Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 500m (the S500 range), and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn by professional divers. NB Please ensure that the crown of the watch is fully screwed down first. Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.

  • WHAT DOES WATER-RESISTANT TO 2000M MEAN?

    Due to water pressure exerted (See “How water resistant is my watch?”), watches that are water-resistant to 2000m, like the S2000, and have a bracelet or rubber strap fitted, can be worn by professional divers. NB Please ensure that the crown of the watch is fully screwed down first. Your watch must be rinsed with tap water following immersion and must have the seals checked annually, which we will do on a complimentary basis. Leather straps are not water proof and will be prematurely aged if immersed in water.
