Bremont focuses purely on beautifully made mechanical movements and every watch in our core collection has passed each of the rigorous precision tests necessary for the ISO 3159 chronometer designation.

Proudly made in the UK
Great Britain has a wonderful history when it comes to watch making and has probably been the home to more advances in horology than any other nation. Bremont is determined to play a pivotal role in the reinvigoration of this industry on British shores and as a result, Bremont manufactures parts at its Parts Manufacturing Facility and every Bremont is hand-build and tested before leaving the Henley-on-Thames workshop.
Description
The Avro Vulcan was a jet powered, tail-less, delta-wing, high altitude strategic bomber, operated by the Royal Air Force from 1956 until 1984. Heralded as a symbolic last defence against nuclear war, the Avro Vulcan is one of the most iconic aircraft in the RAF’s history. As a long-standing supporter and partner of His Majesty’s Armed Forces, Bremont celebrates this iconic symbol of British aviation and engineering with a commemorative limited edition timepiece.
Whilst retaining some of Bremont’s core design codes, the chronograph weaves in some subtle details synonymous with the historic aircraft. The Vulcan’s matte black dial features a running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock with a two-tone 3-D camouflage design, and the elapsed minutes 3 o’clock counter features a nuclear symbol indicating the arsenal carried onboard.

Complimentary Cufflinks
Watch is accompanied with silver cufflinks incorporating aluminium from the original airframe of Avro Vulcan XH558 'Spirit of Great Britain', the final Vulcan in military service.
Vintage military style
For the first time, Bremont has introduced elegant, skeletonised, cathedral minute and hour hands which are also applied with white Super-LumiNova® and complemented by a striking RAF blue chronograph hand.
Approved by His Majesty's Armed Forces
Turning the watch over reveals a stainless steel enclosed case back decorated with an engraving of the Avro B-1 Bomber and the heraldic badge of the Royal Air Force. The case back states ‘Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces’ given the Bremont Vulcan was designed and approved by the MOD under Her Majesty’s Reign. Once the King’s crest has been decreed all case backs within Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection will be updated accordingly, making the current version even more collectable.
Complimentary strap & cufflinks
The Bremont Vulcan comes with two strap options - an ‘RAF Blue’ and ‘Camo’ sailcloth strap, inspired by the low level tactical colour scheme of the Vulcan. It is also accompanied by elegant silver cufflinks in the shape of the aircraft, which incorporate aluminium from the original airframe of Avro Vulcan XH558 ‘Spirit of Great Britain’, the final Vulcan in military service.
