Here is a bit of info about the test that the Bremont MB1 & MB2 aviation watch goes through. It is pretty cool :) Hope you enjoy!!
Bremont Watch


Tested Beyond Endurance

The Bremont watch MB1 has successfully endured 12-30G throughout the 1st second of ejection


1. Catapult phase 12 - 15G
2. Rocket motor 12 - 15G
3. Drogue Stability 30G (600kt sled test)
4. Parachute deployment 15G


Bremont Watch Company and Martin-Baker have collaborated to design and build the ultimate aviation watch. The alliance has produced a unique aviation watch that will embody all that is meant by ‘Made in Britain’.

As the pioneer of the ejection seat and supplier to over 70% of the Western world‘s air forces, Martin-Baker represents the pinnacle of British engineering. The partnership combined Martin-Baker’s knowledge of testing, materials and design with Bremont’s watch making skills. The aim was to challenge conventional mechanical watch design, by applying standards that truly define ‘a matter of life and death’.

An ejection seat may sit unused for 40 years, but the day it is needed it has to work. As a company, their testing facility is unique, and the Bremont MB watches have been through trials found nowhere else. An example is the ability to simulate 30 years of aircraft life through a vibration testing machine and this is the first watch ever to go through a live ejection testing programme.

The movement is assembled at Bremont’s atelier in Switzerland, but final assembly of the watches will take place in the UK. The MB1 and MB2 will be Bremont’s first ‘Made in Britain’ wristwatch.

Exclusivity of the first edition of the Bremont MB1 is unparalleled in the watch industry:
it will only be available for purchase to those who have ejected a Martin-Baker seat.
Martin-Baker seats have saved over 7283 lives to date; each watch will be engraved with the individual’s ejection number.

The second edition of the watch, Bremont MB2, will be available for sale alongside the full range of Bremont watches, but – as with all Bremont timepieces – the annual production will be very limited.

Thanks!
