Bremont, the renowned British luxury watchmaker, has combined innovation with tradition in its latest release, the Terra Nova Bronze Collection. Inspired by the military pocket watches of the early 20th century, this new line is a testament to Bremont’s commitment to durability, quality, and exceptional craftsmanship.
The Terra Nova collection debuted in 2024 featuring contemporary field watches crafted from resilient 904L steel. For 2025, Bremont pushes the envelope further by introducing three new models crafted from a cutting-edge cupro-aluminum alloy—a high-strength bronze that stands out for its unique properties and aesthetic appeal. Tested by Bremont Ambassador Aldo Kane, the Terra Nova Bronze Collection exemplifies rugged elegance reimagined for modern adventurers.
“Bronze, but not as you know it,” emphasizes Bremont’s philosophy on the use of materials. The selection of cupro-aluminum is rooted in its functional benefits, including superior strength, durability, and versatility. This innovative alloy can be intricately cast into exquisite designs, crucial for the Terra Nova’s detailed two-piece watch case. Boasting higher tensile strength compared to traditional bronze, it promises to endure the rigors of daily wear—an essential requirement for a tool watch.
One of the standout features of cupro-aluminum is its hypoallergenic nature combined with enhanced scratch resistance, ensuring that its beautiful appearance stands the test of time. With a soft golden tone juxtaposed against a warm reddish hue, each watch will develop a gradual patina, transforming uniquely over months while avoiding the uneven discoloration common with traditional bronze.
The three new references in the Terra Nova Bronze Collection offer distinct aesthetic choices. The Terra Nova 40.5mm Date Bronze and Terra Nova 42.5mm Chronograph Bronze both showcase a striking dark green linear gradient dial, while the Terra Nova 40.5mm Turning Bezel Power Reserve Bronze features a warm caramel gradient reminiscent of sunlit deserts. Subtle design refinements enhance readability: the smaller Wayfinder logo and reduced super-luminova numerals create a balanced appearance without compromising function.

With the Terra Nova Bronze Collection, Bremont beautifully merges the past with the present, creating a line of watches that not only serve as functional timepieces but also tell a story of adventure and exploration. Each model invites wearers to embrace their individuality as they experience the subtle evolution of their unique timepiece over time.
