Introducing the Bremont Terra Nova 40.5 Date

As part of the British brand’s transformation, Bremont has unveiled a stunning new collection of field watches. The Terra Nova collection is available in three case sizes, including a star of the show: the 40.5 mm iteration with date function, green dial and steel bracelet.

“W

ith Terra Nova we have focused on designing and creating a perfect field watch, explains Davide Cerrato, Bremont CEO. Meticulously researching and referencing early 20th century military pocket watches to bring a true sense of provenance in the visual and functional language. This is then reinterpreted for the 21st century with the launch of this elegant and contemporary design.”

Davide Cerrato adds: “We believe that with Terra Nova begins a new chapter for Bremont which will see the collection become an iconic reference for the brand for many years to come.”

Introducing the Bremont Terra Nova 40.5 Date

The Terra Nova collection is available in three case sizes: a 38mm two-hander; a 40.5mm iteration both with date function or with a rotating compass bezel, power reserve indicator, date and small seconds; finally, a 42.5mm steel chronograph completes the core collection.

A bi-directional compass bezel is included on the 40.5mm Terra Nova turning bezel, as well as a power reserve featuring the cardinal signs, with a small seconds sub dial included as a direct refence to the heritage of vintage field watches.

The timepiece features a contemporary, geometrical cushion case, elevated through the use of 904L stainless steel, and finished with a combination of brushed and polished texturing. The watch’s dial features oversized numerals cut in full-block Super-LumiNova® for increased legibility in low light conditions. The Super-LumiNova® application is continued across the indexes on the broken railroad minute track and vintage inspired hands.

The oversized crown combines functionality and crafted elegance, directly referencing field watches from an era where gloved hands needed to operate the crown with accuracy. It is enhanced through the application of Bremont’s new logo ‘The Wayfinder’, reinforcing the brand’s passion for adventure and exploration.

Unique to the Terra Nova collection is also a new quick release bracelet crafted in 904L steel and finished in a combination of brushed and polished facets, which mirror the outer radius of the Terra Nova cushion case. Curved bars are repeated through the length of the strap creating a high level of articulation which ensures enhanced fluidity and great comfort to the wearer.

The closed case back is engraved with a unique design featuring a charted map of the world and the words ‘Terra Nova’.
