Bremont Supermarine S2000 Watch Review

In '09, just 2 yrs following the launch of their first models

British high-flyer watch brand Bremont launched the 43-mm-diameter Supermarine S500. Even though it had been Bremont’s first watch created for the deep ocean, the company managed to really make it look both contemporary and traditional simultaneously, an excellent one doesn’t encounter very frequently. Add some typical Bremont situation construction using the black DLC centerpiece, a unique crown position at 2 o’clock, several bold color options as well as an unpredicted selection of hands, also it should become obvious why we at DiveIntoWatches.com have lengthy desired to get our on the job one to have an in-depth review - especially following the bigger, 45-mm version was announced this year.

Bremont doesn’t  - a minimum of not - possess a retail network within Europe (or perhaps in Germany or Austria, for instance), because it does within the U.S., making it a little more difficult than normal to obtain our on the job one. However, because of Bremont’s HQ working in london, we finally had a sample watch delivered to us to test and set before a video camera. Within the spirit of transparency, we ought to mention that it's always a little difficult to be aware what type of watch you can find from the manufacturer whenever you make these demands. It is sometimes a pre-production model (possibly with limited functionality) or perhaps a model that didn’t pass the ultimate qc. Or, if you are fortunate, it could be also exactly the same watch you’d get should you purchased it as being someone (including box and papers).

The timepiece we've got had some minor scratches, that is an indication that people weren't the very first ones to spend more time with this specific S2000. More to the point, you'll most likely also observe that your day and date wheels aren't aligned everything precisely, which in fact had us wishing for any no-date version. With this thought, let's think that we didn’t obtain a watch which was initially meant for retail purchase - also with acknowledgment from the unmistakably high quality level we've become accustomed to receive from Bremont during the last many years.

This, however, managed to get more difficult to get almost anything to criticize, that is a good factor from the consumer’s point-of-view although not so useful whenever you really attempt to write a properly-balanced review. One factor struck us immediately: because of the S2000’s elevated performance, and it is positioning like a professional-grade dive watch, we're feeling the triangular around the bezel shouldn't happen to be performed in red (check this out article for the reasoning about this). However, from the design point-of-view, we applaud Bremont for that red accents around the hands, dial and bezel.

On the more severe note re: diving functionality (and presuming there isn’t yet another strap extension incorporated), the conventional black rubber strap is simply too short if you ever intend on putting on the S2000 more than a diving suit. However these are the only reasons we're able to develop when we were searching to convince ourselves to not buy this watch.

When compared with its “only” 500-meter water-resistant predecessor

The two,000 meter-water-resistant S2000 brings not just a different color plan, but additionally more thickness along with a 2-mm bigger diameter (but nonetheless wears smaller sized than you’d expect from the 45-mm watch). This implies that not just was the situation enlarged, but the majority of the parts needed to be replaced to keep the well-balanced proportions from the initial design.

The watch’s COSC-certified movement sits inside a patented mount to improve shock protection. This will make it placed in a anti-magnetic soft-iron cage to higher safeguard the total amount, balance spring and escapement in the results of magnetic fields. The solid caseback continues to be decorated by having an engraved profile from the Supermarine S6.B, the quickest plane on the planet in 1931 as well as thought to have performed an important role in the introduction of the legendary Spitfire.
