Basel News: Bremont Goes "Entry Level" With The BC-SOLO

March 23, 2011

Bremont Goes Basic with the BC-SoloIts sometimes hard to believe that British brand Bremont has been around for less than a decade. The company has achieved amazing success in such a short time, through savvy marketing, some well-known ambassadors, and of course great watches. Bremont has pursued roads less traveled with their timepieces C an ejection seat-tested model, a Jaguar dashboard clock and most recently, even their own marine chronometer. We cant think of another young brand quite as ambitious as Bremont.Given the companys meteoric rise and breadth of offerings, its also hard to believe that theyre only now releasing their first entry level watch. But here on HODINKEE you get a first look at the new Bremont BC-SOLO. The SOLOs inspiration is obvious C the classic pilots wristwatch, legible and spare. For such an aviation-inspired company, we sometimes forget that, to date, they havent offered a pure pilots watch. This one is hardly entry level in its specifications. You still get Bremonts hardened steel three-part Trip-Tick case, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and exhibition case back, and a chronometer grade, Bremont-modified Swiss movement.The BC-SOLO will be available in July at a price of $3,950. Theres no information about the BC-SOLO on Bremonts Website yet, but the watch is due to be introduced at BaselWorld this week.? Live photos to follow.
