Bremont ALT1 watches

The Bremont ALT1 family starts with the ALT1-C, launched in 2007 and the first watch designed by Nick and Giles English, the brothers who founded the British brand in 2002. Their father, Euan English, was a former RAF pilot. Every Bremont watch is rated as a COSC or ISO chronometer.

The ALT1-C is a chronograph with a date, in a 43 mm Trip-Tick case of hardened steel with a DLC-treated barrel, 16 mm thick. Inside is the BE-50AE, a chronometer-certified movement based on the Valjoux 7750, with a 42-hour power reserve.

The original ALT1-C carried Arabic numerals. In 2018 Bremont replaced them with applied baton indexes and gave the dial the leaf-shaped feuille hands that had until then been reserved for the polished versions. Those are the ALT1-C Polished Black (ALT1-C/PB) and White (ALT1-C/PW), and the Polished Red Gold (ALT1-C/RG), which pairs red gold with steel around a white dial. The Classic comes with black, grey, cream, green or silver dials, and the bracelet versions add "br" to the reference: ALT1CBK on a strap, ALT1CBKbr on the bracelet.

The ALT1-P Pilot, in black or blue, is the pilot's chronograph on which Bremont later based the three-register ALT1-P2 Jet. The ALT1-Z Zulu, the ALT1-WT Worldtimer, the ALT1-B and the ALT1-ZT and ZT/51 are also 43 mm steel watches with sapphire crystals.
