The previous record of almost 8 years was totally smashed while breaking 6 more records at the same time, a true test of humans' ability to do extraordinary feats of endurance and dedication. Its 43mm case is made from Grade 6-4 Titanium with Bremonts innovative Trip-Tick construction, its case has a rubber sandwich construction making it resistant to extreme external conditions coated in scratch-resistant black DLC. An automatic Helium valve is fitted on the left side, alongside an inner soft anti-magnetic Faraday cage.

Personal Note
There is no denying that Bremont's are large watches, but I'm always amazed by how well they wear on the wrist and that is even more the case with this "Project Possible" as it's cased in titanium and is incredibly light on the wrist! The shade of blue used is subtle, it perfectly contrasts against the darker tone of the titanium and the bronze on the bezel. Plus the "Project Possible" symbol in the dial is also subtle, noticeable in certain lights and it adds another dimension to the watch which works really well.
The Brand
Bremont was founded in 2002 by the brother's Nick and Giles English. Their watch designs are inspired by their love of flying and everything mechanical. During the 1990s while flying their 1930s biplane over France they got into trouble and had to land in a field. Not wishing to get the authorities involved, they were met by the farm owner who gave them and the plane shelter, it turned out he had flown during the war and was an engineer. The brothers, grateful to the kind farmer, promised him they would never forget him, his name was Antoine Bremont. In 1995 they were involved in an accident and sadly lost their father Dr Euan English while flying their World War II vintage Harvard aircraft. His loss and their injuries drove the brothers to create a fitting legacy. Moving into their Manufacturing & Technology Centre in 2021. Innovation and producing technologically advanced timepieces have been an ever-expanding experience for Bremont. Their military connections through special edition watches and tireless work with Help for Heroes and The Royal British Legion means their late fathers' legacy will continue to grow.
