Prepare to be captivated by Bremont’s latest masterpiece—a timepiece that redefines luxury and innovation. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is the Bremont Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-Pusher Skeleton a groundbreaking achievement or a bold statement too far for traditional watch enthusiasts? Let’s dive in and decide.
Bremont, a brand synonymous with modern aviation-inspired tool watches, has soared to new heights with its Altitude collection. After the experimental Terra Nova series, the British marque refocused on its core strengths, delivering a cleaner, more refined aviation-themed lineup. At the pinnacle of this collection sits the Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-Pusher, a marvel of horological engineering. For Dubai Watch Week 2025, Bremont takes this icon a step further by unveiling a skeletonised edition that lays bare its intricate movement—a move that’s as daring as it is beautiful.
The watch retains Bremont’s iconic 42mm Trip-Tick case, crafted from grade 2 titanium, blending brushed and polished finishes with a PVD-coated middle barrel. Despite housing a high complication, it remains remarkably wearable, with a thickness of 12.65mm, a lug-to-lug of 49.62mm, and 100m water resistance. A glassbox sapphire crystal protects the dial, while an open titanium caseback showcases the movement in all its glory. The mono-pusher, seamlessly integrated into the fluted crown, works alongside recessed correctors at 2 and 4 o’clock for calendar adjustments—a testament to Bremont’s attention to detail.
And this is the part most people miss: The real showstopper is the dial—or rather, the lack thereof. The original RAF-blue dial has been replaced by an openworked blue structure that frames the Agenhor-developed module, turning the movement into a work of art. Applied numerals and indices, mounted on a skeletonised chapter ring and filled with white Super-LumiNova, ensure legibility against the intricate backdrop.
At 12 o’clock, the domed rotating globe returns, paired with a 24-hour day/night ring for tracking home time. A radial date scale at 6 o’clock features a pointer hand, while the running seconds at 9 o’clock are displayed using a lume-tipped two-blade “propeller” hand on a sector-style subdial. The perpetual calendar’s month and leap year indications reside at 3 o’clock, with a four-blade propeller hand advancing in 172 micro-steps over a four-year cycle—a subtle yet ingenious touch that epitomizes Agenhor’s craftsmanship.
Powering this marvel is the calibre BHC9192, combining Sellita’s AMT6900 manual base with an exclusive Agenhor module. At just 6.8mm thick, it operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, boasts a 50-hour power reserve, and is regulated to -6/+6 seconds per day. The skeletonised design reveals Côtes de Genève finishing on the bridges and an engraved Wayfinder logo on the mono-pusher lever—small details that make a big difference.
Delivered with a quick-release titanium bracelet and a blue patina leather strap, this timepiece retails for GBP 37,000. But here’s the question: Is it worth the investment? What do you think? Does the skeletonised edition elevate the Altitude collection, or does it stray too far from Bremont’s aviation roots? Let us know in the comments below.
