Bremont Watch DH-88 Steel Limited Edition

Limited Edition of 282 Pieces.

Bremont Watch DH-88 SS Steel Limited Edition.

This Bremont DH-88 Stainless Steel Limited Edition watch celebrates one of greatest air races of all time and the plane and pilots that completed it in a mouth dropping and record breaking 3 days. Trailing the clear skies and 11,300 miles between Mildenhall in Suffolk England to Flemington Race Course in Melbourne Australia, pilots Charles Scott and Tom Campbell-Black flew the race in not just any plane but the Havilland DH-88 Comet plane and with it they became heroes.

The journey that the DH-88 Comet plane and its two pilots completed echoes Bremont's own, who have not only overcome many trial and errors throughout their history but share the same values of quality British engineering and the desire to create a lasting impression on the world of aviation and timekeeping. To celebrate this unconditional and irrevocable relationship, each Bremont DH-88 limited edition watch includes a piece of the original spruce plywood from the undercarriage of the real DH-88 Comet aircraft, a magical sentiment that makes these timepieces even more extraordinary.

This Bremont DH-88 Steel Limited Edition watch is powered by the BE-54AW chronometer rated chronograph movement which promises a power reserve of up to 42 hours as well as a 24 hour GMT function, a tribute to the Comet DH-88 plane that was designed for intercontinental flights. Housed beneath the sapphire crystal glass, the crisp and effortless to read dial is decorated in a fine opalin matte black base colour and set with period Arabic numerals, silver white sub dials and polished nickel hands. To complete the timepiece, a dark brown alligator leather strap is added alongside a pin buckle to match the 43mm stainless steel case. The majority of the elements that go into making this breathtaking limited edition model are handcrafted within the company's workshop in England.
