In Defense: Bremont Drops Broadsword Recon Bronze Limited Edition

Following the launch of the original limited edition Broadsword Recon, which was released in 2023 and immediately sold out, Bremont introduces the Broadsword Recon Bronze. A contemporary take on the ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches, the first non-civilian wristwatches used by the British Armed Forces and some of the most sought after military timepieces today. This new iteration features a 40mm bronze case that is pressure resistant to 10 bar. Limited to 100 pieces, the field and/or tool watch builds on the foundations of a partnership between the British watch brand and the British Ministry of Defense.

Designed for enhanced legibility, the Broadsword Recon Bronze features a matte black sandwich dial with central hour and minute hands and running seconds at 6 o’clock. A date window is positioned at 3 o’clock. SuperlumiNova green emitting Arabic numerals and glossy black edges create a striking visual depth. The dial is protected by a domed anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. 

Housed within the Broadsword Recon Bronze is the chronometer-rated BE-95-2AV movement, offering a 38-hour power reserve. It is well protected by a stainless steel case back which is engraved with symbols and heraldic badges of the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force. There is also the ‘Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces’ designation.

The Broadsword Recon Bronze is complemented by a black sailcloth strap with a bronze pin buckle, adding to its military-inspired look and resilience.

Pricing is marked at $3,950.
