Notes

Bremont, London, "Supersonic Rose Gold"

Limited edition of 100 pieces especially made to commemorate the supersonic Concorde airplane in activity between 1976 and 2000.

The "Supersonic Rose Gold" has been hand assembled at Bremont's workshop in Henley-on-Thames. It contains Bremont's first ever manual-winding movement which features an 8-day power reserve and has a power reserve indicator at the 12 o’clock position.

The style of the timepiece is reminiscent of a 70’s look and feel with its sunburst white dial representing Concorde’s specially developed highly reflective paint. The Bremont Supersonic incorporates a ring of aluminium from Alpha Bravo, Heathrow's last remaining Concorde. The silhouette of this remarkable aircraft is subtly machined into the movement’s customised base plate and G-BOAB’s attributes feature in gold around the aluminium decoration ring.
