A Brief History of Bremont Broadsword Watches
Bremont has a long-standing history of working with the military, and the Broadsword line continues this tradition of creating high-quality, durable watches for military use.
The watch range was developed in partnership with the British Ministry of Defence and is designed to meet the rigorous demands of military use. First introduced in 2019, the collection was inspired by the British Army’s “Dirty Dozen” watches, a set of 12 watches commissioned during World War II for use by military personnel.
Bremont Broadsword timepieces feature automatic movements, are water-resistant up to 100 meters, and are designed to withstand shock and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for use in the field. In terms of design, they are simple and durable yet incredibly distinctive, which we will delve into later.

What Makes These Watches So Special?
Generally, Bremont watches are considered excellent investments, not just for those interested in military or wartime-inspired timepieces. However, to really understand how special Bremont Broadsword watches are, let’s look at some of the reasons fans of the collection have chosen to purchase them.
- COSC-certified movements. All Bremont watches use chronometer-certified movements, which are tested and certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) for accuracy and reliability.
- Quality materials and construction. Bremont is known for its high-quality materials and construction, and the Broadsword collection is no exception, with each watch featuring a high-grade stainless steel case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a durable NATO strap.
- Military heritage. Of course, the Broadsword collection is inspired by military timepieces, specifically those used by the British Armed Forces.
Here at Banks Lyon, we are very lucky to offer these luxurious and historically-inspired watches to our customers and are proud of our collection available both on our website and in our showrooms.
The Distinctive Design of Bremont Broadsword Watches
Bremont offers many designs suitable for all types of people and their styles and needs. For example, Bremont women’s watches are elegant and sleek without compromising on
the famous durability of the brand’s designs.
Regarding the Broadsword collection, the design blends classic and contemporary elements to create a stylish and functional timepiece, with clear military inspiration from the mid-20th century with a modern twist. They feature a clean and simple dial with clear Arabic numerals and luminous hands, making them easy to read in any lighting conditions. The case is also simple and understated, with a brushed finish that gives the watch a rugged feel.
