DESCRIPTION

cheveron down

As a tribute to the anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Bremont has created a rather special box set containing two timepieces in its honour. Included with each box set is an incredible opportunity for the customer to fly in a Spitfire which fought in the major air campaign in 1940. Only 80 Battle of Britain sets will be produced. The limited run of box sets each comprises a pair of watches inspired by the two iconic aircraft that defended the nation, the Spitfire and the Hurricane.

The Battle of Britain was a major air campaign fought over southern England in the summer and autumn of 1940. After the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk and the Fall of France, Germany planned to gain air supremacy in preparation for an invasion of Great Britain. The pilots of RAF Fighter Command, flying iconic aircraft including the Hurricane and Spitfire, were supported by a vast network of ground crew during the battle. Ultimately, the Luftwaffe was defeated by Fighter Command, forcing Hitler to abandon his invasion plans.


THE BOB SPITFIRE

Paying homage to Bremont’s first historic limited edition, the EP120, the dial design of the chronograph is inspired by the Smiths clocks that can be found in the Spitfires that flew during the Battle of Britain.

Uniquely, each box features a plaque which is designed to be engraved with the date in which the customer's spitfire flight has taken place, so that the collection of watches and the experience of taking to the skies in one of Britain's most iconic aircraft can be paired forever.

The Aircraft

Designed around a 1,000-horsepower, 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce PV-12 engine (later dubbed the Merlin), the Spitfire first flew in March 1935. It had superb performance and flight characteristics, and deliveries to operational Royal Air Force (RAF) squadrons commenced in the summer of 1938.

Movement

The modified calibre 13 ¼’’’ BE-54AE automatic chronometer features 25 jewels and achieves a 42 hour power reserve. Functions include hour, minute, second, date at 4H, chronograph small counters with seconds 30 minutes and 12 hours, 24 hour GMT.

Design

Paying homage to Bremont’s first historic limited edition, the EP120, the dial design of the chronograph is inspired by the Smiths clocks that can be found in the Spitfires that flew during the Battle of Britain.

Technology

The Spitfire features a DLC treated Bremont Trip-Tick® case construction with patented inner bi-directional Roto-Click® bezel allowing the 24 hour functionality to be used to calculate dual time-zones and time of trip.

Packaging

Each Battle of Britain Collection comes beautifully packaged in a truly commemorative presentation box.
