The Bremont Altitude Air Force Blue Capsule Collection, Including a New MB Meteor Time Zones

The Terra Nova and Supermarine collections are an important part of Bremont‘s catalogue, and the brand even looks up to the stars with the recently released Supernova Chronograph. Still, aviation remains central to the British watchmaker’s identity, and the new Air Force Blue capsule collection reinforces this focus with a unified lineup, introducing a distinctive RAF-inspired blue dial across four models: three established models and one entirely new addition. The series resembles a tightly aligned family of pilot watches, each designed for a specific use, from daily wear to a multi-time-zone complication.

The new Altitude MB Meteor Time Zones

The new MB Meteor Time Zones is a practical companion for pilots and frequent travellers, not just a purely aesthetic variation, and makes the Air Force Blue Capsule release meaningful. The watch is presented in a 100m water-resistant, 42mm Grade 2 titanium Trip-Tick case, light on the wrist yet structurally robust, with Bremont’s signature anti-shock mounting and soft-iron anti-magnetic cage protecting the movement. The knurled midcase, here in blue PVD, is retained.

The dual-crown layout looks neat, and both crowns are knurled for easy grip. The crown at 2 o’clock controls the internal Roto-Click bezel, which displays a set of global time zones, while the lower crown is for winding and setting. The rotating city ring works in tandem with a 24-hour scale with a day/night indication and a central GMT hand, red-tipped, allowing quick reading of multiple time zones. It’s a functional layout that feels intuitive after only a short time on the wrist.

The Air Force Blue dial provides a stable backdrop for the layered information. The red accents on the GMT and central seconds hands introduce just enough “action”, while the glossy black hands and applied stencil-like numerals with Super-LumiNova fill keep everything legible.

The new MB Meteor Time Zones is powered by the BB641 automatic movement (Sellita SW330-2 base), with a 56-hour power reserve and a 28,800 vibrations/hour frequency. This robust, legible, and well-balanced Bremont MB model is offered with several strap and bracelet options, including a titanium bracelet, a blue leather/rubber or black/blue NATO strap. Prices start at GBP 5,100 for the straps and GBP 5,450 for the titanium bracelet.

Altitude Chronograph GMT Air Force Blue

As the name suggests, the Chronograph GMT combines elapsed-time measurement with a second time zone indication.
