remont introduces the next generation of Supermarine: a 500m Full Ceramic, striking, high-performance timepiece. Extensively tested by Bremont ambassador and extreme environment specialist Aldo Kane, a former Royal Marine, Bremont consistently strives to craft the best tool watches for the most arduous environments.

The Supermarine Full Ceramic is presented in two variants: limited-edition ‘Jungle Green’ and a ‘Tactical Black’ core edition. Whilst the robust Supermarine Collection is renowned for its diving capabilities the 43mm model unlocks endless opportunities to explore both beneath and above the waves. Its 500-metre water resistance, titanium container and helium escape valve embody the robust and reliable nature of the Supermarine collection.

The Earth’s Jungles are an unforgiving force of nature, home to the planet’s richest biodiversity. Its dense, humid, and unpredictable environment challenges all who enter, while serving as a critical lifeline for Earth’s ecological balance. Aldo Kane has been testing the new Supermarine Full Ceramic while out on undisclosed, yet vital, scientific and research missions to jungle environments this year. As a seasoned adventurer and safety expert, Aldo is no stranger to the hostile environments faced there. It is in these extremely testing environments that Bremont watches are proven.

“I have probably taken my Bremont to more places on the planet than anyone else and the Supermarine has performed incredibly on my jungle missions this year. I first went to the Jungle when I was 19, as a Royal Marines Commando being trained in Jungle warfare. Over the last 28 years since, I have worked in Jungles all over the world, from tracking tiger poachers in South-East Asia to climbing into the canopy in Central Africa. The forest is the great equaliser. It crushes egos, builds resilience, and hones a deep connection to the natural world. If you can operate in the jungle, you can operate anywhere,” says Aldo Kane, Bremont Ambassador.

Bremont consistently strives to craft the best tool watches for the most arduous environments, which drove us to create this next-generation Supermarine timepiece. The Supermarine collection consists of robust, reliable, and highly capable mechanical timepieces that function flawlessly below and above the waves. Our quest for innovation led us to explore the world of ceramics, one of the hardest class of materials known. It was soon clear to us that the untouchable qualities of ceramic would be perfect for the all-conditions tool watch we had in mind.

The case has been designed in mono-block ceramic, a first for Bremont. From a basis of ceramic powder, the loose material is placed into a very precisely shaped mould. This negative image of the watch case is 23% bigger than the final product. Following a high-pressure sintering process at a temperature of 1,450°C that would melt most metals, the size of the case shrinks by 23%. Not only do the ceramic watch cases reach their final size after sintering, but they also show their true colours after the process. Ensuring the full ceramic cases of the Supermarines achieved the desired shade, particularly the jungle green colour variant which is especially hard to achieve, is also a matter of precise calculations because exceeding certain temperatures will lead to colour pigment burning and unwanted changes.

Finally, the full ceramic case is subjected to a sand-blasting process, used to give the watch case a matte finish ensuring that a Bremont ceramic tool watch meets the needs of even our most adventurous and demanding real-world explorers.

Alongside the mono-block ceramic case and ceramic bezel insert, the knurled detail of the green titanium PVD treated bezel on the ‘Jungle Green’ limited edition has been micro-blasted turning the hue from green to blue, creating a surprising and unique detail. Trapezoid indexes flow from the bezel onto the dial, forming a naval inspired crosshair, drawing the eye to the centre of the striking green or black gradient linear dials of each model.

Enhanced with applied indexes and black gold-plated hour, minute and second hands, filled with next generation Blue Emission Super-LumiNova for use in low-light conditions due to its high visibility in the deepest depths, the design epitomises durability and clarity. The dial is elevated further with a date functionality at 3 o’clock and Bremont’s moniker ‘The Wayfinder’, reinforcing the brand’s passion for and dedication to adventure and exploration.

This timepiece is available with a woven fabric NATO style strap, meticulously woven on 18th century Jacquard French looms. They are yarn-dyed to ensure exceptional colour fastness and durability and secured with an engraved steel buckle and Velcro fastening. An equally durable black rubber chevron strap is also available. The case back is engraved with a map of the world’s oceans, emphasising the intent of this fit for purpose sports watch.

“At Bremont our tool watches are worn by those that endeavour to push themselves to the most extreme environments on earth. We are constantly striving to evolve and improve the technical performance of our watches. The Supermarine Full Ceramic is a highly technical and qualitative dive watch, demonstrating our passion for perfection,” says Davide Cerrato, Bremont CEO.
