The U-2/51-JET adds a new dimension to the existing range. Taking fresh design cues from a military project commissioned by the RAFs 100 Squadron members to celebrate their centenary and complement their Hawk T1 Jet aircraft.

The 100 Squadron was the first squadron formed for night bombing back in 1917 and its stealthy appearance led to the introduction of a new case and middle barrel colour for this watch, aptly named Jet. Turning the watch over reveals an exhibition case back showing the beautiful automatic movement through tinted black smoked glass. Non-integrated DLC bracelet and additional Temple Island rubber strap.

IMPORTANT: This item has been reduced due tothe watch strap being slightly faded. Contact our customer service team to request photographs.

REINVIGORATING THE BRITISH WATCH INDUSTRY
It is not completely unexpected to find that the world sets its time by Greenwich and not by Geneva. Whilst Geneva and Switzerland may be producing the vast majority of luxury wristwatches today, this certainly wasnt always the case. In 1800 half of the world’s watches, around 200,000 pieces a year, were produced on British shores by British watchmakers, which is an incredible statistic. Another wonderful statistic is that probably over 60-70% of the innovation in a modern day mechanical watch has come from Britain, including every major escapement design. Bremont’s mission has always been to play a part in bringing back watchmaking to British shores.

HAND-BUILT IN ENGLAND
Every Bremont watch is hand-built by Bremont-trained assemblers in our Manufacturing & Technology Centre in Henley-on-Thames, the home of British watchmaking.
