Bremont Altitude MB Meteor ORANGE BARREL Takes Off

A new altitude in British watchmaking.

With the Altitude MB Meteor, Bremont continues to push the envelope on what modern pilot’s watches can be—functional, durable, and uncompromisingly refined. This latest addition to the ALT1 collection is built for those who demand resilience in the skies and style on the ground.

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.

H. Moser & Cie. will also be making its return to the Carré des Horlogers.

The LAB, which serves as a window into the future of the industry, will take on a new dimension at the heart of the Salon, symbolically representing the importance of technological innovation within the manufactures. Here, startups, schools and engineers will reveal the secrets of tomorrow’s watchmaking. It’s an immersive, tactile and sensory experience for the curious and especially relevant to younger enthusiasts with career aspirations.

The heart of the City will be ticking even louder to the rhythm of watch movements, with a dynamic In The City program.
