Tour of Bremont’s Manufacturing and Technology Centre - “the Wing”

Thanks Captain.
I really like the Martin Baker models and they were saying that the black dial, orange mid-section is the most popular configuration. I might well be tempted if they can get their in-house movement into that model. Yes, Bremont seem to have been given a h...
