Bremont's Deep Blue Dive Watch Is Built for 500 Meters Below the Surface
Bremont has taken its Supermarine dive watch into deeper territory with the Full Ceramic Deep Blue, a 43mm automatic built around a striking blue ceramic case and rated for 500 meters underwater. Limited to just 250 pieces, it's the latest addition to the British watchmaker's most technically ambitious dive collection.
The case is made from ceramic powder fired at 1,450°C, shrinking 23 percent during production to achieve its final hardness. The result is a lightweight, highly scratch-resistant exterior with a matte finish. A knurled titanium unidirectional bezel surrounds the black wave-pattern dial, while blue-emitting Super-LumiNova keeps the hands and markers readable in low light. Inside, a Swiss automatic movement offers a 56-hour power reserve, protected by a titanium inner case and caseback.
Bremont enlisted former Royal Marine Aldo Kane to put the watch through its paces in Iceland, where he took it diving in freezing glacial lakes and across exposed ice fields. The caseback carries an engraving inspired by the Spilhaus ocean-centered map projection, depicting the world's oceans as one connected body. It's a thoughtful detail on a watch already packed with technical hardware, including a helium escape valve.
Priced at $7,400 and available with rubber, NATO or rubber-and-leather straps, the Deep Blue pairs serious dive-watch specifications with an unusually distinctive case material
