Description

Argonaut Bronze– an official military dive watch Created in partnership with the Ministry of Defence Presented in a robust 42mm corrosion resistant Cu Sn8 bronze case Powered with precision by a three-handed chronometer rated BE-92AV movement Finished with a blue sailcloth strap with a bronze coloured pin buckle A MILITARY DIVE WATCH Bremont has a long history of collaboration with the British armed forces and, today, remains the only luxury watch provider allowed to use the signs, symbols, and insignia of all three armed services. The Armed Forces Collection draws inspiration from the original ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches commissioned for the British Army during WW2. This official military dive watch has been designed to support the needs of the armed forces - the term Argonaut itself is synonymous with naval history, having appeared on Commissioned ships for almost 250 years. ENTRENCHED IN NAVAL HERITAGE Referencing the importance of bronze in naval engineering, this striking timepiece is housed within a robust 42mm case, crafted from Cu Sn8 bronze – a solid solution strengthened copper alloy featuring 8% tin. This living metal develops its own totally unique patina over time, meaning no two watches will ever look the same. The naval Sargasso blue metal dial draws inspiration from the iconic ‘Dirty Dozen’ models of WW2. Luminous markings in white Super-Lumi Nova® and a red-tipped seconds hand ensure effortless legibility in all conditions, a critical requirement in the marine environment. An internal bi-directional rotating bezel frames the dial, while the addition of 300 metres of water resistance makes this model an essential dive tool that reflects the needs of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces today. Military-grade power and precision are provided by the three-handed chronometer rated BE-92AV movement with a 38-hour power reserve. A blue sailcloth strap compliments the design beautifully, reflecting the bronze of the case in its pin buckle.
