Bremont, a contemporary British watch manufacturer that was voted for the Watch Brand of the Year 2011, offers an exclusive opportunity to obtain a Squadron-only Bremont Watch! The watch, exclusively available to C-17 operators, is now auctioned, which is a unique opportunity for any civilian to own this extraordinary piece. The winner of the auction will also be offered a unique opportunity to visit the 99 Squadron at RAF Brize Norton (UK). However, because of the nature of the offer, the winner may be subject to security checks.
The Bremont C-17 is designed in cooperation with a number of military C-17 pilots. It is a chronograph tailored to meet their specific demands. The modified automatic chronometer (COSC) certified BE-54AE movement is placed at the core of the watch, generously decorated and put behind a see through-glass, embedded in a stainless steel case. This hard and robust housing has a scratch resistance of 2000 Vickers and boasts nine layers of anti-reflective treatment on each side of the crystal. This reduces light reflections on the face of a watch by up to 95%. The watch is equipped with Bremont's new bi-directional Roto-Click® internally rotating bezel, which is controlled by the crown positioned at 8 o’clock. It also features the etched globe on the dial and a bezel that lists the Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) identifiers representing C-17 landing locations in all 24 time zones. The watch shows UTC or 'Zulu' time through its adjustable 24-hour hand.
