as A brand proud of its connection to aviationBremont’s Supermarine line of diving watches has historically felt more like an obligation than an emancipation of passion. That has changed significantly under the leadership of Davide CerratoIn 2024, Supermarine’s design, specifications and personality were completely revised. Adding to its high-tech military profile, the new Bremont Supermarine Full Ceramic is field tested for extreme durability.
case
Ceramic has become almost the mainstream material for watches. There is Much innovation remains when it comes to creating alloys. Stabilizes abnormal colors, no doubt About maximum scratch resistance. The Supermarine Full Ceramic Tactical Black is great in its brooding versatility, but the Jungle Green version really lets the different textures of the ceramic case shine. Most are sandblasted, giving them a velvety soft feel while retaining a rustic matte sheen. Practical robustness is enhanced by a small area of ​​brushing on the bezel that catches enough light to enhance contrast at certain angles. The bezel itself is made of titanium with a color-matched PVD coating and ceramic insert.
The case shape is adventure-friendly, with a substantial crown guard that protrudes from the case to ensure that the crown can be loosened and set without any obstruction. However, remember that the Supermarine Full Ceramic is still primarily a diving watch. Far exceeding the minimum requirements, water resistance reaches 500 meters and a helium escape valve is hidden on the left side of the case. With a diameter of 43mm, it has an overwhelming presence on your wrist, but thanks to its height of 13mm, it’s not too thick. When it comes to bulky expedition watches;its dimensions are tame.
dial
Visibility is a priority for almost all sports watches, but especially for tactical divers’ watches. The dark dial with luminescent white paint is quite impressive on its own, but Bremont’s attention to detail adds some extra dimension. The blacked-out handset appears to have luminescent parts floating across the dial, while the markers at 12, 6, and 9 have distinctive shapes to help orient you in the dark. I am.
Whether it’s black or green, the dial isn’t completely monochrome. Although subtle, there’s a slight slope from the center of the dial to the smoky edges, giving it some life. Small splashes of contrasting color are provided by the letters on the Supermarine dial and the numerals on the chapter ring. The Bremont logo is as bold as the rest of the watch, and the date window at 3 o’clock is neatly integrated for convenience and out of the way.
movement
Behind the solid caseback, which is engraved with a map of the Earth’s oceans, the Bremont Supermarine full ceramic is powered by the Sellita SW300-1 caliber BE-92AV. itself is a Swiss clone of ETA 2892-A2The SW300 is perfect for luxury watches that you don’t want to think about too much. It is highly reliable, has high accuracy tolerances, and is slim. Thanks to an optimized mainspring barrel, the power reserve is extended to approximately 50 hours, and the balance moves at a smooth 4Hz beat rate. Although it has automatic winding, it is only 3.6 mm thick. This contributes to Supermarine’s modest thickness, despite its 500 meter water resistance.
strap
Both versions of the Supermarine Full Ceramic are available with either a fabric NATO strap or a rubber strap with hook-and-loop closure. Both are waterproof and comfortable options, but you may have a preference for the feel of the fabric and rubber. The rubber strap has straight ends and a raised arrow shape for a more geometric, traditional look, while NATO passes through both lugs in a color matching each model for a unified effect. It has come true. There is no price difference between the two, so it comes down to personal preference. The lug width is 22mm, so aftermarket options are plentiful.
judgment
The Bremont Supermarine Full Ceramic is certainly a departure from the original Supermarine, and its revised architecture is a welcome change. And it’s great to see the world of ceramic watches expand beyond the handful of brands that thrive in the field. However, when compared to the regular Supermarine 300M, which has the same movement with ceramic upgrades and 500 meters of water resistance, nearly double the price feels unacceptable. However, because it fills a specific niche of high-end, adrenaline-rich ceramic divers, it may find an audience or fans willing to shell out the big bucks.
