Bremont Terra Nova Jumping Hour Watch in Steel



Bremont, hailing from the heart of British watchmaking, offers a fresh interpretation of the classic military watch with the latest addition to its Terra Nova collection: the Jumping Hour in Steel. This modern masterpiece confidently blends the exquisite craftsmanship of a jumping hour watch with a distinctly British, modern design. At first glance, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour watch is both a nod to historical inspiration and an interpretation of the aesthetics of a modern tool watch, its distinctive style a hallmark of the Bremont Terra Nova collection.

Adhering to the principles of clarity and practicality, the dial exudes restraint and precision. The eye naturally focuses on three minimalist windows: the hours at 12 o'clock, the minutes at 6 o'clock, and the smoothly sweeping central seconds hand. While seemingly simple, the displays are profoundly insightful. The brown printed numerals on the hour and minute discs reflect the warm earth tones while ensuring easy readability. The small seconds hand, featuring a black compass, adds a touch of adventure to the overall experience. Bremont's design philosophy is calm and restrained, with every detail meticulously considered: the closed case shuns unnecessary ornamentation, allowing form and function to dominate the flow of time.

Beneath the elegantly understated dial lies the BC634 movement, developed exclusively in collaboration with Sellita. Its mechanical performance is exceptional: 29 jewels, a Glucydur alloy balance wheel ensures stability, and the Anachron balance spring and Nivaflex mainspring deliver enduring reliability. A frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour ensures smooth timekeeping and a long power reserve of 56 hours. Particularly noteworthy is the jumping hour mechanism, which enables instantaneous jumps in less than a tenth of a second. This mechanical feat seamlessly blends visual impact with the engineers' unwavering commitment to precision, elevating the watch beyond mere thematic allusion and into a realm of technical achievement.

The Terra Nova's case, crafted in both brushed and polished 904L stainless steel, firmly establishes it among the best of contemporary British watchmaking. Measuring 38mm in diameter and just 9.10mm thick, the watch features compact lugs for a comfortable fit, faithfully inheriting its classic military watch lineage. The modern, geometric, cushion-shaped case evokes military pocket watches from the early 20th century, yet its craftsmanship is perfectly aligned with modern aesthetics. The push-button crown embodies simplicity and reliability for everyday wear. The beautifully decorated stainless steel caseback adds a touch of refinement, embodying Bremont's commitment to essential simplicity while enhancing the watch's overall aesthetic.

As a tool watch designed for adventurers, the Bremont Terra Nova's strap options complement its core versatility. A 904L stainless steel quick-release bracelet and a chocolate-brown nubuck leather strap with cream box stitching allow for effortless customization, embodying British practical elegance. Its 3 ATM water resistance is sufficient for everyday use and ensures reliable durability.

Finally, the Bremont Terra Nova Jumping Hour in Steel (€5,350 on a steel bracelet / €5,050 on a leather strap) clearly embodies Bremont's commitment to creating timepieces that prioritize practicality and are uncompromising, ideal for those who love innovation and adventure. Davide Cerrato's assessment is particularly insightful: "This steel model is both a design statement and a commitment to timeless quality, solidifying Bremont's position in the future of British watchmaking." This pioneering spirit, embodied in the fusion of heritage and modernity, is brought to life in this new Terra Nova watch, whose dial invites the wearer to embark on a journey of discovery with every glance.
