Meet the new Bremont Fury Watch

Bremont is rolling out three new core watches; the Supernova, the Audley and the Fury – the latter of which we’re going to look at in more detail in this article. The release comes as Bremont unveils its new H1 Timing Standard - an in-house chronometer testing platform located at the company’s Henley-On-Thames manufacturing facilities. Passing these stringent tests (that equal those set out by the ISO3159:2009 test) are the ENG300 movements powering these core-range Bremont watches for the very first time. Let’s take a look at the new Bremont Fury watch – a timepiece that delves back into the archives of some of Britain’s most influential wartime military aircraft.

 

Used by the Royal Air Force during the 1930s, the Hawker Fury is a British biplane that was both fast and agile, capable of reaching speeds of 200 mph or more. As the fighter counterpart to the Hawker light bomber, it was the first interceptor in RAF service. Equipped with an 18-cylinder Bristol Centaurus 18 sleeve-valve radial piston engine, it could hold up to 16 three-inch 60lb rockets and drop tanks from under its wing. The Hawker Sea Fury came a little later and was the last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy. Entering service two years after the Second World War had ended, the aircraft was used during the Korean War and served an important role in the Cuban air force during the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion.

 

 

The Bremont brothers who have grown up in and around aviation keep the design of the new Bremont Fury watch in line with their passion for developing state-of-the-art pilot’s watches on British soil. The name of the new watch nods to these two renowned Hawker Aircraft, whilst the simple design of the dial keeps values of legibility and precision at the forefront of each model. This 40mm chronometer is offered in two options, classic black and rich blue. Both models are powered by a movement from Bremont’s relatively new ENG300 series – the first of its movements to be 100% assembled in the company’s Henley-on-Thames manufacturing facilities. In addition to this, every ENG300 movement is subjected to the stringent tests devised by experts at Bremont in developing the brand’s very own in-house H1 Timing Standard. This platform to measure all its chronometers is comparable to the ISO3159:2009 chronometer test and has required huge investment into new machinery, staff and training. Let’s take a look at the specifications of the new Bremont Fury

 

 

The Bremont Fury

 

As mentioned, the new Bremont Fury is offered on a black or blue dial with a textured surface that contrasts with a sunray-finished power reserve indicator located in the southern hemisphere of the dial. The classic design of the display took a total of two years to perfect and features white printed Arabic numerals set against a grained backdrop, with Super-LumiNova-coated hour markers at 3, 9 and 12 o’clock. A dial ring around the edge features a minute track, with markers highlighting five-minute increments. These are enhanced by blue emission Super-LumiNova material to assist with more detailed timekeeping at night. The dial of the new Bremont Fury watch also features luminous-filled nickel-plated hour and minute hands and a red-tipped pointer second hand. A nickel-plated power reserve hand resides at 6 o’clock inside a round indicator adorned with red colour to highlight the lower end of the ENG365’s power. The entire surface of the watch is protected by a domed piece of anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass.

 

 

The two new Bremont Fury watches measure a 40mm diameter and feature stepped bezels that perfectly frame a spacious dial. The watch also measures a depth of 12.9mm. The timepiece incorporates Bremont’s Trip Tick case construction, which incorporates a separate case bezel, an independently machined case middle and a caseback, giving the watch a unique Bremont DNA with lugs that appear to melt over the case. The bezel itself has to be machined by a CNC mill-turning machine, with multiple axis to allow all of the planes to be achieved. The construction also features a scratch-resistant PVD-treated case barrel and a Bremont logo-enamelled screw-down crown to help assist the case with 100-meter water resistance.

 

For its power and accuracy, the Bremont Fury shares the same ENG365 engine as the Bremont Audley. The movement belongs to the new-ish Bremont-manufactured ENG300 series. All the infrastructure to support the assembly, regulation and testing of the movement is done independently at Bremont’s Henley-on-Thames manufacturing facilities – The Wing - and adheres to the criteria set by Bremont when producing its new in-house HI Timing Standard. The ENG365 Calibre features a silicone escape wheel, a free-sprung hairspring, 22 jewels, rhodium-plated bridges, a gold-plated automatic bridge, and a solid tungsten rotor (decorated). Performance-wise, the ENG365 produces 25,200 beats per hour and delivers a power reserve of 65 hours. Its beautiful detailing and decoration can be observed via the watch’s flat sapphire crystal exhibition glass.

 

 

The blue dial version of the new Bremont Fury is fitted on a matching blue leather strap with a polished Bremont-engraved stainless steel pin buckle. The black dial version features a mirroring black leather band. Both straps feature off-white contrast stitching down the sides to give each timepiece an authentic pilot-inspired look.
