Bremont Archives - Who Sells Best Mens Uk Replica Watches Online

Both the OTUSA and the Bremont Regatta AC use a modded chronograph, adapted to create the five minute countdown function situated at 12 o’clock for the sailing function. When you press the chronograph pusher the white window progressively reveals the word “START” and the red arc counts down from 5, changing to white. At the end of five minutes the two arcs recommence their cycle. As well as the centre chronograph seconds there’s a running seconds at 9 o’clock and a twelve hour counter at 6 o’clock.

If you follow Bremont, Giles or Nick English on Twitter/ Instagram then you will be well aware of the enthusiasm with which Bremont has entered into their relationship with the America’s Cup ORACLE Team USA.

At Baselworld 2016 they announced the addition of four new chronograph Regatta replica watches to add to their America’s Cup Collection in the form of new limited edition pieces – Regatta Oracle Team USA (OTUSA) White, Regatta OTUSA Black, Regatta AC Stainless Steel, and Regatta AC Rose Gold. All the new pieces are 43mm in size, and I am sharing one of each with you today.

The movement is an automatic one made for them by La Joux-Perret with a power reserve of forty-two hours and is COSC-certified. You will also note the America’s Cup decoration on the rotor.

With its polished case Regatta AC is more classically styled of the two new designs, particularly with the use of Arabic numerals and blued hands for the stainless steel version. The Bremont Trip-Tick® case has a scratch resistant DLCd case barrel.

Whereas the AC models have a chronograph centre seconds. running seconds at 9 o’clock, date and 12 hour counter at 6 o’clock and a 5 minute countdown at 12 o’clock, the OTUSA has a 15 minute Regatta timer and 5 minute countdown at 12 o’clock.

The Regatta Oracle Team USA replica watches have one detail that you may not know at first glance is that high-grade carbon fibre taken from the yacht foils of the winning 2013 Oracle Team USA AC72 yacht is incorporated into each of the crowns.

There will be a limitation number of two hundred and thirty five for this model, and one hundred and thirty five for the rose gold version.

As mentioned above, the Regatta Oracle Team USA will also be in black or white dial variants with a limitation of two hundred and thirty five pieces for each colour. Both colours have a titanium case with the same DLCd case barrel as the other model, their bi-directional rotating bezels lumed with Super-LumiNova. Indices and hands are also lumed.

The America’s Cup replica watches are not just Bremont’s first regatta replica watches, but they told me that they are also the first English regatta replica watches, which is definitely something to be celebrated for them.

All the new models bar the 18 carat rose gold have a Temple Island rubber strap and titanium pin buckle; the Regatta AC Stainless Steel has a blue strap, the OTUSA a black one. The 18K rose gold model is supplied with a brown alligator strap with matching 18K rose gold pin buckle.

A few months ago elelgant replica Bremont launched the latest in their series of limited editions which pay tribute to important historical places and events that relate to Bremont’s focus on matters aviation-related. The Bremont Wright Flyer pays tribute to, as the name indicates, the groundbreaking”1903 flight of the Wright Flyer. As with the previous limited editions such as the Codebreaker, Bletchley Park and Victory, which also contained mementos significant to each, the Bremont Wright Flyer incorporates a small piece of the muslin fabric from the wings of the Wright Flyer itself, in the rotor. The fabric was given to Bremont by the Wright family, and part of the proceeds of the sale of the replica watches will go towards the restoration of the Wright family home in Ohio.

With thanks to Nick Hooper of MAD Australia and Denis Martinet in Hong Kong I recently had the opportunity to view one of these special new Flyers, the white gold model, at the Bremont Boutique in Hong Kong.

In the brand’s classic 43 mm Trip-Tick case, design-wise it is unmistakably Bremont, with railway scales on both the dial and sub-dial, the latter with a discreet ‘1903’ reference to the Wright Flyer. Colourwise the cream-coloured numerals/ hands and white of this limited-to-fifty-pieces white gold model gives it a more ‘vintage’ aesthetic than the black dialled stainless steel model, but the latter is more affordable, and there will be more (300) of them made. The rose gold one, with a similar dial to that of the white gold model, will have a limitation of 100 pieces.

As you can see on the reverse, there are quite charming and almost whimsical ‘propeller’ and initialled references to both Orville and Wilbur Wright.

When the Wright Flyer was announced there was what can only be called a bit of a hullabaloo about its movement, the BWC/01 automatic with a fifty hour power reserve. I have already written about it here, so I will not revisit it except to say that for those who don’t know about what happened it is worthwhile reading about, both because of how significant it was at its launch, and because of the broader issues that it raises. Plus, there was a lively discussion in the ‘comments’ section of that post.

Alas, having a bit of significant aviation history does not come cheap. The WG model is priced at £30,950, the RG £27,950.00 and the stainless steel, £17,950.
