Bremont Time Capsule Longitude Limited Edition Automatic – LONGITUDE-WG-R-S

The Bremont Longitude is a testament to the revival of British watchmaking, blending historical homage with cutting-edge engineering. Crafted from polished 18ct White Gold with a scratch-resistant PVD treated case barrel, the 40mm case features a distinctive onion crown and a case back adorned with the historic Flamsteed Meridian Line brass, showcasing Longitude coordinates for the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. The metal dial boasts a raised central globe, debossed longitude lines, and applied Roman numerals, creating a classic yet contemporary design.

Powered by the Bremont 11 1/2" ENG376 automatic movement, the watch is a masterpiece of horological innovation. The movement series, launched in 2021, represents a significant milestone for British watchmaking, being manufactured at the Bremont Manufacturing & Technology Centre in Henley-on-Thames. Re-engineering 80% of the base calibre, including a silicon escapement and a custom balance bridge, the ENG300 series marks the first large-scale production of mechanical movements in the UK in 50 years.

Functionalities include central hour/minute, running seconds, a big date display, and a power reserve indicator. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and comes with a black alligator strap. Beyond its technical prowess, the Longitude-WG-R-S encapsulates Bremont's mission to reinvigorate British watchmaking, acknowledging the country's historical contributions and pushing towards a new era of innovation on British shores. The limited edition, with only 75 available, signifies a pivotal moment in the brand's journey and the broader resurgence of the British watch industry.
