Points of Mention
This watch is sold as a full set with a watch box and paperwork including COSC certificate. The watch was purchased in August 2017 and is just out of its manufacturer warranty period, though the watch is running great and it should be many more years until this watch needs to be serviced! The watch is worn but still in very good condition thanks not only to being rarely worn but also due to its hardened stainless steel case.
The Watch
The first British military aircraft manufacturers were named "Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited" or AIRCO for short! Very aviation-inspired whilst also having a flare of vintage and modern all tied together in the trip-tick case designed by Bremont, which is a unique 3 piece case made here in the UK! The Airco line offers everything "Bremont" at an affordable and attainable price for most, whilst still offering all the bells and whistles you would want. The future looks bright for the brand if this model is anything to go from! Coming as a complete set too with COSC certificate in its fancy leather holding pouch, leather travel case which is one of the best and most functional "Watch Boxes" from a brand I have seen! More brands take note.
Personal Note
Bremont is not for everyone, some people love them and some people don't... One unarguable thing is their dedication to innovation and producing over-engineered watches from the cases to their shock resistance and so on... It is great to see that attached to a British company!
