If you like that IWC, you should check out the Bremont Supermarine. Very cool watch.

A bit of info and a pic:

"Bremont has announced the launch of their first marine watch – the Supermarine 500. Following on from the success that the company has had with its aviation watches Nick and Giles English wanted to build an “amphibious watch” that was both classical in its design and aviation roots but very effective as a diving watch.

The design of the Supermarine has been built using Bremont‟s unique Trip-Tick three piece case construction which gives it a water resistance depth of 500m or 1660ft, but keeps the classic curved profile of the 42mm case design which is so distinctive to Bremont. An elegant crown protector has been built onto the side of the inner barrel, and following on from other Bremont models the watch case has been specially treated for strength using Bremont‟s B-EBE2000 technology. As with all Bremont watches the Supermarine is Swiss Made at the Bremont atelier in Biel-Bienne and houses a modified BE-36A automatic chronometer movement.

Extensive testing in the UK by Bremont on this and other new models at its test facility has led to the design and construction of an „Anti-Shock‟ movement mount to help protect the movement against large shocks. The movement is also housed inside an Anti-Magnetic faraday cage to protect the balance, balance spring and escapement from any effects of magnetisation.

For clarity the bezel is being made of sapphire which covers the Superluminova C5 numbers, and the sapphire crystal covering the dial will be coated on both sides with Bremont‟s usual 9 layers of anti reflective coating."

Cool, Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear wears a Bremont. I always wondered what his watch was. Now I know. Learned something new today

lol this is from IS-F vs M3 sedan episode (11-6 or something? lol i'm a top gear geek)
in the season 10-10, James May looked like he had Navi on his wrist while driving the blue RS4.

Dude, I am a Top Gear geek also...love that show and the dry sarcastic humor...very entertaining.

James May has an IWC Portuguese...could it be that one?

RJRJRJ thanks for bringing this up. That is one gorgeous watch. Indeed it appeals to me in what I look for in a diver. This is the first time I hear of this brand though. I better do some research. How much for this specific model? Maybe something to consider after the Navi...

I wonder if they have AD here in Calgary or in Canada. I travel between Calgary, Toronto and Montreal pretty often...best deals are in Calgary though...only federal tax

We dont want to neglect them now do we?

Check out their website - they seem to have a rather small distribution network. This was a problem for me as I needed to see a watch in the metal from a brand that is relatively unknown to me - even though I researched it a while back. I could order one sight unseen, but at more than $5K, that makes me a wee bit nervous.

I get regular visits from case workers with Watch Protective Services for this very issue.

Wow, I was wondering how much they were, and while they're nice watches, I can think of plenty of other watches to drop $5k on. I do like the Supermarine though, I actually kinda like the look of it more than the IWC. Their Pilot's watches are pretty nice looking also.

That Bremont is sick!!!!! WOW!

Regarding the Navi...the standard Navi is my everyday watch and man, i fall in love with it each day all over again. It really is a head turner, and not in that pretentious Rolex kind of way. As a whole, for the price I dont think you can go wrong, plus....you have the benefit of your SO for the evenings and weekends. That is the model I took, and couldnt be happier. With two watches, a casual and a dress/sport, you really get to spend time with both of your loves regularly. We dont want to neglect them now do we?
