The Masterlink Perpetual Calendar, developed entirely in-house, marks a new chapter for the young and ambitious Maison as it continues to expand its repertoire of poetic complications.

In keeping with Gerald Charles’s “No Compromise” watchmaking philosophy, established by Mr. Genta more than a quarter of a century ago, the Masterlink Perpetual Calendar introduces an in-house, asymmetrical, automatic perpetual calendar calibre with a three-counter display.

Bremont is renowned for its British heritage and aviation-inspired timepieces, and has long established itself as one of the most famous brands in crafting robust, precision-engineered watches. Among its iconic collections, the Supermarine line stands out as a tribute to the brand's deep connection with aviation. Named after the Supermarine aircraft company, creators of the World War II Spitfire fighter plane.

This year marked a significant milestone for the Supermarine collection, with the expansion of the new Generation Supermarine GMT and a complete redesign of the Supermarine 300M line. Adding to this exciting year, Bremont is set to launch its first-ever full ceramic case, available in two striking variants, jungle green and tactical black.

The case measures 43mm diameter and 13mm in thickness, and is crafted from a single block of sand-blasted ceramic, complemented by a titanium container and a knurled titanium bezel that features a ceramic insert. The case back is made from PVD-treated titanium, and along with a helium valve, ensures water resistance up to 500 meters. The intricate case-making process involves molding soft zirconium powder and sintering it at 1,450°C under extreme pressure, shrinking the case by 23% to achieve its ideal hardness.

The dial is available in either a green or black gradient, perfectly matching the hue of the case. It features applied indexes and hands filled with Super-LumiNova, emitting a light green or blue glow for exceptional brightness and long-lasting visibility in challenging conditions. Additionally, there is a date window positioned at 3 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the calibre BE-92AV, an automatic COSC-certified movement based on Sellita. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a power reserve of 50 hours. The green variant is limited to 250 pieces and is available with a black rubber chevron strap or a black and green woven fabric NATO strap, priced at £6,450, equivalent to AED 31,000.

The black variant, featuring the same black rubber chevron strap but paired with a black and gray woven fabric NATO strap, is not limited and is offered at a slightly lower price of £5,950, equivalent to AED 28,600.
