Limited Edition of 300 in Stainles Steel –  Each Bremont H-4 Hercules Limited Edition rotor is constructed using
original birch wood from the H-4 Hercules fuselage.

At a time of austerity, one American defied convention to build the largest
aircraft in the world. The Bremont H-4 Hercules Limited Edition chronometer
salutes this iconic flying boat of the 1940s. Famously known as the ‘Spruce
Goose’, the vast silver ship is as legendary as its inventor Howard Hughes.

The H-4 Hercules and, to a degree, Howard Hughes’ genius was defined by
one minute. One minute of flight on 2nd November 1947. In that time Howard
Hughes’ vision for the greatest aircraft ever built was vindicated. It’s fitting
therefore that the aircraft is being commemorated by a timepiece of this
stature. Limited to just 300 stainless steel, 75 rose gold and 75 platinum pieces,
the Bremont H-4 Hercules is a sublime fusion of micro-engineering, watch
design and aviation history. The 25 jewel Bremont BWC/02 movement is based
on the original proprietary automatic BWC/01 calibre built in partnership with
movement house, La Joux Perret, and is housed in a beautifully finished 43mm
case. The new slate grey coloured BWC/02 movement has GMT functionality,
along with hours, minutes, a smaller non-hacking seconds hand at 9 o’clock
and the date at 6 o’clock.

Although the name ‘Spruce Goose’ is world famous, Howard Hughes disliked
this nickname bestowed on his aircraft by the press. He felt it an insult to his
talented engineers. It was also incorrect, as the Hercules was made of birch.
