Titanium Strength, Everyday Wearability

Crafted in Grade 2 titanium, the 42mm case is both lightweight and incredibly tough. It’s shaped using Bremont’s signature Trip‑Tick® construction, giving the watch its sharp lines and robust feel while remaining comfortable for all-day wear. The slimmer lug-to-lug fit enhances wrist ergonomics, whether paired with a titanium bracelet or a rubber-lined leather strap.

Engineered for the Skies

Inside, the chronometer-certified movement delivers a powerful 68-hour power reserve, protected by a patented anti-shock rubber mount. For pilots and travelers surrounded by electronics, Bremont adds a soft iron Faraday cage that shields the movement from magnetic fields—a feature that speaks to the brand’s military-grade reliability.

Dial Details That Matter

The Brushed Black Galvanic metal dial is a nod to cockpit legibility—clean, functional, and bold. Applied Arabic numerals with Super-LumiNova® glow bright in low light. At the center, a red-tipped lollipop seconds hand adds a flash of character, subtly referencing Bremont’s partnership with Martin-Baker, famed for their ejection seats.

The internal Roto-Click bezel, adjustable via the 4 o’clock crown, is perfect for flight calculations, tracking elapsed time, or simply navigating daily tasks with pilot-grade precision.

A View of the Movement

Turn the watch over and you’re treated to a sapphire crystal caseback—a rare touch for tool watches. The movement is decorated with Geneva stripes and features a gunmetal finish, delivering a sense of mechanical depth without compromising the watch’s magnetic shielding.

Designed to Go Further

Rated to 100m of water resistance, this is not just a pilot’s watch—it’s a multi-purpose companion that fits into any adventure. Whether you’re flying across continents or navigating city streets, the Altitude MB Meteor ORANGE BARREL delivers consistent performance with undeniable style.
