Introducing The Bremont Supermarine 2000, An Even Deeper Diver

January 31, 2013

Bremont Supermarine 2000 Bremont has released the latest version of its diver, theSupermarine 2000. This one, as the name suggests, is rated for a whopping 2,000meters of water pressure. Given the British brands claim that the Supermarinesprior iteration was tested well beyond its 500 meter rating, and their almost obsessive focus on ruggedness, were pretty sure this one couldgo even deeper than advertised. Beyond the water resistance ensured by its patented Trip-Ticksteel case, this Supermarine also boasts Bremonts usual arsenal of movementprotection features, like a soft iron Faraday cage for repelling magnetism to a shockabsorbing movement holder that protects the chronometer-certified calibre fromvibration and impacts. The luminescent sapphire bezel, unique crown protector, dial, and oddly elegant hand design are all carried over from the Supermarine 500. Helium Release Valve on the S2000 Also inherited from the Supermarine 500 is the heliumrelease valve on the 9 oclock side of the case. Were not going to get too excited about?heliumrelease valves, but well cut Bremont some slack since they did create a specialversion Supermarine, known as the North Sea, made available only to North Sea commercial divers. Commercial diver, author,?and bona fide watch nerd, Tony Groom, is afriend of the brand, so we know some of these watches burp valves may actually see someaction. Engraved Caseback Beyond the obvious water resistance rating, differencesbetween the S500 and the new S2000 include a larger case diameter, now a relatively massive 45 millimeters, and a subtle but welcome addition of a round lume flag on thesweep seconds hand. The watchis also only available in a sober black on black color scheme with touchesof red on the dial, the seconds hand, and the bezels zero triangle (cues borrowed fromthe aforementioned North Sea special edition).The Supermarine 2000 will be sold on Bremonts excellentthick rubber strap and a steel bracelet. No word yet on pricing. Well be gettingour hands on this one very soon so watch this space for more.Check out Bremont's website for more info.
