Written by D Constant

Hello all, better late than never, and quite apt bearing in mind Bermont launched the watch only yesterday in the Cayman Islands with Diamonds International on Grand Cayman. So we see another Dive Watch from our British Aviator watch specialists in the form of the Supermarine S200, What can we expect from Bremont…

Well, Following the success of the Supermarine 500, Bremont have announced the launch of their new diving model, the Supermarine 2000. This model has been manufactured with professional divers in mind Bremont have increased the size of the original Supermarine case to a more robust 45mm and re-engineered it to withstand depths of upto 2000m/6560ft as per the name…

The design of the Supermarine was built using Bremont’s unique Trip-Tick three-piece case construction. As with the previous model, extensive testing in the UK by Bremont has lead to the design and construction of the ‘Anti-Shock’ COSC certified movement mount to help protect it against large shocks. It is also housed inside an Anti-Magnetic faraday cage to protect the balance, balance spring and escapement from any effects of magnetisation. The Supermiarine 2000 developed model also features a Helium Escape valve.

An elegant crown protector has been built onto the side of the inner barrel and following on from other Bremont models; the watchcase has been specifically treated for strength using Bremont’s B-EBE2000 technology.

The sapphire bezel and Super-LumiNova coated indexes and hands offer luminosity in low light conditions.

David Beckham travels with Breitling

 
Press Release by Breitling

Breitling has chosen David Beckham as the face of its Transocean Chronograph Unitime worldtimer watch. The new campaign establishes a long-term partnership between the innovative and historic Swiss brand and one of the world’s most celebrated icons.

Through its long-established ties with aviation, the sky has always been the limit for Breitling – as the brand has proved throughout its history by creating a number of travel watches including the famous Unitime in the 1950s and 60s.

In the spring of 2012, it took things to the next level by presenting the Transocean Chronograph Unitime. Equipped with the new Manufacture Breitling Caliber B05 featuring a patented mechanism, this worldtimer chronograph has asserted itself as the ultimate travel watch thanks to its double disk enabling permanent readings of the time in all 24 timezones, and its ultra-user-friendly crown-operated correction system.

One of the world’s most successful sportsmen and style icons, Beckham stars in the Breitling advert featuring a highly evocative visual shot by renowned American photographer Anthony Mandler. On the runway of the Mojave Air & Space Port in California, the striking image shows Beckham standing in front of a private jet wearing his Transocean Chronograph Unitime.

“I’ve always been a long-time admirer of Breitling,” said David Beckham. “As a company they create not only the highest-performance watches but also timeless designs that have inspired generations. It was a natural choice for me to partner with this fantastic brand.”

TWCO – Technical Watches Co… 

Introduction to a new kid on the block

 

Kid probably being one of the opperative words here, (no disrespect intended to Robbert, to the contrary) A young watchmaker has stepped up and created his first offering at the ripe old age of 20… A step very few have taken and a bold one at that, one that we welcome and look forward to seeing what Robbert has in the pipeline for this resurected brand in TWCO.

At the moment Robbert has one offering which will be available in December this year and this is a 600m Divers watch with various strap options before we go into too much detail here is the recent press release recieved from Robbert and hopefully we can arrange to have a Hands on Review of the inagaural  Sea Rescue Diver.

It looks clean and classic Divers and runs a Miyota  9015 Auto movement, oh and is price at 665 Euros incl. VAT or roughly £ 535.00 for us in the UK.
