Bremont has risen a long way in the pantheon of horological approbation in a relatively short time, and their vintage inspired timepieces are always a pleasure to examine. This Bremont ALT1-C Rose Gold Classic watch is a veritable archetype in support of this observation, and this special timepiece is in full adherence with all of the values and principles of technological expertise that have always been pioneered by Bremont chronometer watches. The ALT1-C watch has invariably been a favourite choice for many Bremont fans across the globe, and this exciting new variant has certainly not disappointed.
Unveiled at Baselworld 2013 alongside the vehemently anticipated Bremont ‘Codebreaker’ watch, this ALT1-C Rose Classic watch is not a limited edition timepiece per se, but it is only being produced in restrained quantities on a yearly basis. Only 65 examples were created over the course of 2013; meaning that it is sure to remain in high demand during the near future. Nick and Gilles English, the founders of Bremont; have drawn upon the limited edition Bremont HMS Victory 18ct Rose Gold watch that was released in 2012 when it comes to the design of the ALT1-C Rose Gold Classic, resulting in the latter being no less desirable than its celebrated inspiration.
Bremont may have made their name through high performance aviation chronometers, yet the English brothers have also proved their aptitude when it comes to producing timepieces that are imbued with a sense of classical elegance. The 43mm ‘Trip-Tick®’ case is fashioned from 18 carat rose gold, and this has also been treated with scratch resistant PVD to ensure that its lustre remains perpetually undiminished. Furthermore, the caseback is fitted with a flat crystal exhibition panel that allows the mechanical movement to be observed in all of its glory; so this wristwatch is undoubtedly not confined to the restrictions of pure functionality.
All Bremont timepieces are invariably chronometer certified, and the ALT1-C Rose Gold Classic is no exception. Chronograph counters allow seconds and 30 minute intervals to be monitored upon the white metal dial, whilst the engine of the timepiece is also similarly considered. This movement is a Bremont Calibre 13 ¼ BE-50AE automatic mechanism, and this marvellous creation cycles unerringly through 28,800 beats per hour, with a 42 hour power reserve to keep it performing as reliably as possible. Alongside a total of 28 jewels, Bremont has also seen fit to mould and decorate the rotor, realizing a delicate finesse that perfectly lends itself to the close level of scrutiny that can be enjoyed through the caseback.
The strap of the ALT1-C Rose Classic comes in a variety of embossed leather designs, and combines this timeless feature with a modern solid deployment buckle and security clasp to ensure an easy fit. Bremont has implemented many of these small augmentations, such as anti-reflective and scratch resistant finishes upon all of the Rose Classic’s crystal surfaces, a case that is water resistant to 100 metres and also SuperLumiNova upon the nickel hands of the timepiece. The time honoured art of watchmaking has always been upheld as the cornerstone of Bremont’s ethos, and this capable and beautifully designed watch would look just as suited to any wrist no matter what era of the world’s history the owner might find themselves confined to.
With unrivalled engineering and timelessly classic aesthetics, the Bremont ALT1-C Rose Classic is another triumphant timepiece from this increasingly venerated, and proudly British, horological brand name.
