Bremont U-2

Following the pioneering development and dramatic success of the Bremont military air-crew watch developed in association with the world’s largest ejection seat manufacture, Martin-Baker, the elite 9th Reconnaissance Wing at Beale who fly the U-2 spy planes, wanted a watch with the same DNA but tested to their own requirements. The U-2 chronometer has most of the advanced elements of the MB, including; the Anti-shock rubberized movement mount, designed to withstand the MB ejection seat program, but also subjected to a further testing programme. Testing that has taken the watch to 100,000 feet and -40 degrees Celsius for extensive periods of time. A unique DLC-coated and sapphire backed U-2 variant watch has been made exclusively for the U-2 Squadron, another version based on this Squadron watch with a U-2 silhouette on the dial has been manufactured but is limited to 150 pieces. Two other watches, one DLC and the other hardened stainless steel, using the U-2 watch as inspiration, have been produced and are available on general release.
