Gents Watch of the Week: Bremont ALT1-P Pilot

The quintessential wristwatch designed for pilots, the remarkable Bremont ALT1-P watch represents the preferred timepiece for all those individuals who require horological instruments that conform to the most demanding levels of accuracy and clarity. Many luxury watch makers are associated with the aviation industry, but only Bremont can boast genuine firsthand experience and a vintage series of fully functioning aircraft within their established collections. Many Bremont timepieces draw inspiration from the aesthetics of classic fuel gauges or the clocks that used to adorn military equipment in bygone ages, and this vintage appearance means that Bremont watches are ideally suited for either business enterprises, or leisure occasions.

Similar to the iconic Bremont ALT1-Z, the ALT1-P possesses an internally rotating bezel. This mechanism is driven by a crown that is specifically crafted to attain the most precise levels of calculation with ease. The improved Valjoux base movement undergoes a stunning 28,000 vibrations on an hourly basis, and is augmented with more than 20 bearing jewels. This movement is refined to the highest possible criteria of execution, and has been subjected to a huge array of tests that have proven that the ALT1-P is capable of performing even when pushed to its limits. Additional features that have been specifically chosen by Bremont to achieve their characteristically high specifications also include a glucydur balance, a Nivaflex mainspring and an Anachron balance spring.

The Bremont ALT1-P Pilot has been fully certified as a chonomter by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronométres. The steel trip trick Bremont case is 43mm wide and 16mm in depth, also displaying a transparent exhibition caseback and a domed anti reflective sapphire crystal glass.  The dial of the ALT1-P boasts Super LumiNova® C3 nickel hands and integers that result in a legendarily visible watch face, even amid the darkest of evening skies. With so much information displayed upon Bremont dials, there might normally be a risk of the timepiece appearing cluttered, however Bremont have admirably navigated this negative possibility to produce an eminently functional wristwatch that radiates drama and class.

The three year warranty that all Bremont timepieces enjoy affirms the manufacturer’s confidence in their workmanship, and every care has been take to ensure that the ALT1-P Pilot is as hard wearing as possible. The case of the wristwatch has been secured with 5 polished screws and PVD treated to attain incomparable levels of scratch resistance, and with a water resistance of up to 100 metres, the ALT1-P is almost as well equipped for diving as it is for flying. The ALT1-P Pilot also has a 42 hour power reserve, ensuring that its exceptional standards of timekeeping remain intact even on the longest of ventures.

The ALT1-P Pilot collection comes in a selection of dual designs that allow for a choice of blue or black timepieces upon complementary leather straps. These straps are created with an embossed leather design, and are available in a variety of different colours to suit any preference. A bracelet variation is also offered by Bremont, with the Kevlar and stainless steel materials being further augmented by a deployment buckle and a finely engraved clasp for added security.
