Bremont Watch Introduces 'The Bremont Horsemen' Aerobatic Team
Thursday - 23 May 2013
Bremont has partnered with The Horsemen, the world's only P-51 Mustang aerobatic team.
The newly titled 'Bremont Horsemen' have been flying for over a decade, and now fly a number of aircraft in formation, including F8F Bearcats, F4U Corsairs, F-86 Sabres, the P-38 Lightning, and Spitfires.
"Bremont shares our passion for historic aviation and the desire to celebrate our combat history through the display of fighter aircraft," said Dan Friedkin, Bremont Horsemen Team Leader. "This partnership offers a unique opportunity for Bremont, the aviation-inspired watch maker, and The Horsemen, the world's only P-51 Mustang aerobatic team, to capitalise on our natural alignment. As a team, we look forward to flying the Bremont colours in our performances across the globe."

The Bremont Horsemen will commence this year's display season at Duxford, UK, in May. The team will perform a tribute to the American pilots who flew with the 'Eagle' Squadrons during World War II. A historic four-ship will fly across the UK and the US, comprising a Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, Curtiss P-47 Thunderbolt, and North American P-51 Mustang.
Bremont co-founder Nick English said: "Giles and I grew up around vintage aircraft and it still forms a large part of our lives. There has always been a great synergy between time and flying - in both cases mechanical machinery tuned and maintained to perfection. The margins for error flying these historic aircraft in such close proximity to each other are minute."
