A mono-pusher HMAF chronograph inspired by the Avro Vulcan jet
Limited to just 250 pieces, the Bremont Vulcan pays tribute to one of the most iconic aircraft in British military history - The Avro Vulcan. Encased within a durable satin and polished two-piece hardened steel case, its BE-51AE chronometer rated movement has a 56-hour power reserve and monopusher for chronograph functionality. Whilst retaining some of Bremont’s core design codes, the new chronograph weaves in some subtle details synonymous with the historic aircraft.
The Vulcan’s matte black dial features a running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock with a two-tone 3D camo design, and the elapsed minutes 3 o’clock counter features a nuclear symbol indicating the arsenal carried onboard. Additionally, for the first time, Bremont has introduced elegant, skeletonised, cathedral minute and hour hands which are also applied with white Super- LumiNova® and complemented by a striking RAF blue chronograph hand.
Turning the watch over reveals a stainless steel enclosed case back decorated with an engraving of the Avro B-1 Bomber and the heraldic badge of the Royal Air Force. The case back states ‘Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces’ given the Bremont Vulcan was designed and approved by the MOD under Her Majesty’s Reign. Once the King’s crest has been decreed all case backs within Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection will be updated accordingly, making the current version even more collectable.
Each watch is accompanied by an RAF Blue Sailcloth strap, an additional Camo Sailcloth strap inspired by the Avro and set of cufflinks containing material the original airframe of Avro Vulcan XH558 ‘Spirit of Great Britain’, the final Vulcan in military service.
