Ejection seats and ski gloves
By Hannah Lindqvist, Stockholm ยท
The MB in the name is Martin-Baker, the ejection seat people, and Bremont has leaned on that story for years. I find it a bit much. I'm never going to be fired out of a jet. I am going to wear a watch under a ski glove, though, and that's where this one gets judged.
40 by 12.5 mm on a leather strap. Not small. The case sits fairly tall, and leather in a Swedish winter is something I'd swap for rubber or a NATO almost straight away. The black dial is handsome and very legible, which I'll give it.
100 m is fine. 38 hours from the BE-92AV is the bare minimum, and at nearly five thousand dollars, that's where it loses me. A Tudor Ranger is cheaper, a millimetre smaller and has 70 hours.
Buy it if you love the British aviation angle and have the wrist for it. Otherwise there are better ways to spend this money.
