Bremont Boeing watches

The Bremont Boeing collection is Bremont's line of watches made in partnership with Boeing. Bremont unveiled the partnership at Baselworld 2014; it gave the brand access to Boeing's materials and to its manufacturing know-how at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Sheffield. The Model 247 is named after the first Boeing twin-engine commercial aircraft, the 247, which first flew in 1933 and was one of the first airliners built with all-metal construction. The chronograph's two sub-dials are meant as a nod to the twin engines.

The launch models share a 43 mm case with a crown guard, Bremont's Trip-Tick construction, a thin bidirectional bezel and a decorated movement with a turbine-inspired rotor behind the caseback. The steel cases are Boeing's Custom 465 stainless steel, which resists scratches and corrosion better than 316L. The Boeing logo is inscribed in the caseback ring, and the blue strap stitching is matched to the colour of Boeing's logo.

The Model 1 is the three-hander, in steel with a black (1BK) or white (1WH) dial. The Model 247 is the two-counter chronograph in the same steel case, again in black (247BK) or white (247WH); it runs on the automatic BE-50AE chronometer calibre with a 42-hour power reserve. In 2015 Bremont followed with titanium versions in Boeing's aviation-grade Ti 6-4, with a DLC-treated case barrel and a GMT hand. The Model 1 Ti-GMT adds an independent 24-hour hand and a date at 4:30 on calibre BE-93-2AE, Bremont's version of the ETA 2893-2. The Model 247 Ti-GMT, on a grey dial with darker counters, combines the chronograph with the GMT on calibre BE-54AE, Bremont's version of the ETA 7750. Both are automatic COSC-certified chronometers with a 42-hour power reserve and 100 m water resistance.

The Model 100 (BB100) is a 43 mm titanium watch with a brown dial, limited to 300 pieces.
