Introducing Bremont Unveils the Terra Nova Jumping Hour

Bremont has carved a niche for itself in watchmaking with a focus on aviation-inspired tool watches. Over the years, the brand has steadily grown in ambition, culminating in a major release in 2024 that introduced the new Terra Nova collection, a modern reinterpretation of the classic field watch.

The latest additions to the Terra Nova family take a creative leap forward, quite literally, with the introduction of its first Jumping Hour models: one in cupro-aluminum bronze and the other in 904L stainless steel.

The Jumping Hour Bronze measures a compact 38mm in diameter with a thickness of just 9.1mm, making it especially wearable despite its angular, tonneau-style case. The Jumping Hour 40.5 Steel, as the name suggests, comes in slightly larger at 40.5mm wide and 10.15mm thick. Both models feature solid casebacks engraved with a map of the UK. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters for the bronze model and 100 meters for the steel.

The steel version sports a black lacquer dial with a large central seconds hand, as well as jumping hour and minute apertures positioned at 9 o’clock. Super-LumiNova coats the hands, indices, and cardinal triangles for enhanced legibility.

The bronze model, by contrast, leans into a vintage-inspired design. Its dial is largely hidden beneath a bronze cap, with vertically aligned apertures for the jumping hours, minutes, and seconds. A compass motif at the center indicates the motion of the seconds indicator.

Both watches are powered by the automatic BC634 Jumping Hour caliber, developed by Bremont in collaboration with Sellita. The movement operates at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a 56-hour power reserve.

Each model is available on either a matching quick-release bracelet, 20mm for the bronze and 22mm for the steel, or a leather strap. The Terra Nova Jumping Hour Bronze is limited to 100 pieces, split evenly between bracelet and leather variants. Meanwhile, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour 40.5 Steel joins the permanent collection.

Pricing for the Jumping Hour Bronze is set at $5,200 ≈ AED 19,100 on leather and $5,650 ≈ AED 20,800 on a bracelet. The steel model is priced at $4,000 ≈ AED 14,700 on leather and $4,300 ≈ AED 15,800 on a bracelet.
