A choice we can defend in person.
Bremont was founded in Henley-on-Thames in 2002 by Nick and Giles English to make British field and pilot watches with a tool-watch conscience, built robustly and read easily. We carry the Terra Nova line because it draws honestly on early military timekeeping rather than dressing up as something older than it is.
The Terra Nova 40.5 Date takes its cue from early twentieth-century military pocket watches, a geometric 904L steel cushion case with oversized full-block Super-LumiNova numerals and an oversized crown made for gloved hands. The world map and Terra Nova inscription sit engraved on the back. With a clean date display, it suits someone who wants a legible, hard-wearing field watch for daily use.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
The Modified Calibre 11 1/2”’ BE-36AE carries 26 Jewels jewels, 38-hour of power reserve, beating at 28,800bph (4Hz).
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

A relationship, not a transaction.
Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Bremont, handle the shipping both ways, and put a loaner on your wrist while you wait.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
When your watch is at service we will put another independent on your wrist, so the wrist is never empty.
Hold it once. Turn it over.
A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
