Bremont's Terra Nova field watch collection, references and is inspired by military pocket watches of the early 20th century. Styled and meticulously crafted, the Terra Nova models include all the hallmarks of these original pieces, capturing their rugged elegance, practicality, simplicity, and essential functionality, but reinterpreted for the 21st century.

Introduced in 2024 in resilient 904L steel, for 2025, Bremont introduces three new Terra Nova references in the bronze, high-strength cupro-aluminium alloy. Traditionally associated with the nautical realm, bronze excels equally on dry land - the domain of the Terra Nova - and the new models further demonstrate Bremont's dedication to using the best possible materials to create rugged, tough, and highly durable precision timepieces.

Bronze, But Not As You Know It

First and foremost a manufacturer of robust and rugged tool watches, Bremont only implements a particular material if it makes functional sense. Cupro-aluminium was selected due to the alloy's strength, durability, and versatility. Easily cast and shaped into intricate designs, crucial for creating the high-quality Terra Nova two-piece case with its sophisticated and detailed design, the alloy also has a higher tensile strength than other types of bronze, due to the strengthening effects of aluminium and silicon. This makes the material more durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of it being worn on the wrist.

Cupro-Aluminium boasts several additional advantages. Its aluminium and silicon composition ensure it is hypoallergenic, and more resistant to scratches than traditional bronze, helping to maintain its appearance over time. While slightly larger than conventional steel and bronze, every gram counts when it comes to wristwatches.

Aesthetically, Cupro-Aluminium offers a unique visual appeal with a soft golden tone and a warm reddish hue. Unlike traditional bronze, it develops a gradual and even patina, avoiding the uneven green or black discoloration, resulting in a subtle, controlled transformation over time.

The unique properties of the bronze alloy will transform each model into highly personal timepieces, as each individual watch will age and patina differently. The high-tech alloy seems alive and will age within three months, doing so very softly and subtly, resulting in an appearance with a subtly distressed look and feel.

Three New Bronze References

The new Terra Nova Bronze models feature a dark green or caramel gradient dial. The Terra Nova 40.5mm Date Bronze and Terra Nova 42.5mm Chronograph Bronze feature a dark green linear gradient dial, whilst the Terra Nova 40.5mm Turning Bezel Power Reserve Bronze features a warm caramel linear gradient dial reminiscent of a seemingly endless desert.

The three newcomers also display subtle design changes; the dial presents a small Wayfinder logo, whilst the chronograph and power reserve models with their turning bezel have smaller full Super-LumiNova® block numerals on the dial, creating a more balance appearance without sacrificing readability.

The Exploration Ready Terra Nova 40.5mm Date Bronze

The Bremont Terra Nova 40.5mm Date Bronze is available with three strap variations, The watch can be worn with a black and green NATO-style strap, khaki green nubuck strap featuring cream box stitching, or a full-bronze highly articulated bracelet with small links that seamlessly follow the contour of the wrist. 

The brushed and polished two-piece bronze alloy case features a push-in crown and measures 40.5mm in diameter, is 11.11mm thick, has a lug-to-lug length or 47mm, and a lug width of 22mm. 

Inside the 100m water-resistant case beats the Calibre BE-36AE, a modified, automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement with 38 hours of power reserve. The anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal offers a clear view of the gradient green dial with numerals crafted from full-block Super-LumiNova®, which delivers intense, long-lasting luminosity even in the most challenging conditions.

You Can Count On The Terra Nova 42.5mm Chronograph Bronze

The Bremont Terra Nova 42.5mm Chronograph Bronze is the most complicated and versatile newcomer. The watch's satin and polished two-piece bronze Cupro-Aluminium case measures 42.5mm in diameter, 14.8mm in height, 48.8mm in length, and has a lug width of 22mm. Inside the 100m water-resistant case is a Chronometer rated calibre BE-50AV. This is a tuned version of the robust and reliable Sellita SW510BH a, an automatic movement with a 56-hour power reserve, and features a central sweep chronograph seconds hand, 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, and date at 6 o'clock. 

Apart from the chronograph function, the Terra Nova 42.5mm Chronograph Bronze is fitted with a bi-directional bronze Cupro-Aluminium compass bezel with a black ceramic insert, making this watch a versatile timing and navigational tool.

Available on either a refined bronze alloy three-link bracelet, a green nubuck leather strap with cream box stitching, or black and green NATO-style strap, the Bremont Terra Nova 42.5mm Chronograph Bronze is more than ready to take on the demands of everyday adventures. And as you would expect from a sporty, robust, and high-qualitative Bremont tool watch, the bronze chronograph is outfitted with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and full block Super-LumiNova® numerals.

The new Bremont Terra Bronze tool watches embody practicality, durability, and a passion for exploration. Once taken on an adventure - be it navigating everyday urban obstacles or the unexplored parts of the Earth - they will do so with impeccable style thanks to the combination of the unique high-quality bronze alloy, and dials with intriguingly deep colours and lasting luminosity even in the most challenging conditions.
