BremontALT1-WT, a military watch created for pilots and travellers the world.You can check the time easily when you go out or on air.

Bremont ALT1-WT world timer has two major functions : the world-time indicator and a chronograph. The dial has a classical tricompax layout, with a 30-minute chronograph subdial at 12 o’clock, 12-hour chrono subdial at 6 o’clock, and small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. The date appears in an oddly shaped window — apparently echoing a display from a C17 airplane — at 3 o’clock. A particularly aviation-inspired city ring — more on which later — surrounds the dial, representing the 24 major time zones. The Bremont ALT1-WT comes in 43 mm width, it’s big but not ostentatiously so — is constructed in Bremont’s now-famous ‘Trip-Tick” style, with a black PVD-coated case middle sandwiched between the stainless steel bezel and the caseback, which in classical tool watch style is affixed to the case middle by five screws. The design, including the curved lugs, make for both a comfortable wrist fit as well as a very attractive side view. The navy blue of the dial — with its subtly engraved pattern evoking the longitude and latitude lines of a globe — is continued on the calfskin leather strap, which also features a white contrast stitching. The movement that powers all of these aviator-friendly functions is the Bremont Caliber BE-54E, a modified ETA 7754 with automatic winding and a COSC chronometer certification. And don’t be so transfixed by the gorgeous, meticulously finished dial that you neglect sneaking a glance or three at the movement — and its crowning feature, the Bremont-customized, skeletonized rotor — through the clear sapphire caseback. Among Caliber BE-54AE’s notable features are 25 jewels, a Glucydur balance, Anachron balance spring, Nivaflex mainspring, a frequency of 28,800 vph, and a 42-hour power reserve. Peer through a loupe and you’ll also find blued screws and attractive perlage finishing on the plates and bridges.
