with skill, presenting a limited series that will surely resonate with aviation fans – and for time- piece collectors who enjoy Bremont’s decidedly English references. Bremont will make 275 steel-cased and white- dialed Bremont 1918s ($11,495), seventy-five with a white gold case and a two-toned blue dial ($22,995) and seventy-five in rose gold set off by a black dial ($21,495). Each version will have an alligator strap. IW RATING Design: 7 (out of 10) Quirky dial and purely Bremont caseback view make it clearly their own. Innovation: 5 No boundaries pushed here, though the aviation-themed am-pm indicator is the brand’s first. Finissage: 5 The date aperture is nicely set and polished internally. Legibility: 8 Easy to read, though larger numerals would be nicer. Rarity: 7 Limited numbers for each case metal set. Value: 6 Fairly pricey, but mitigated by unique features and rarity. iW rating: 38 out of 60 SPRING 2018 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | 29
