Bremont Martin Baker MBII-BK-OR - 2013
Bremont Martin Baker MBII-BK-OR
Our favourite series within the Bremont range, the MB's were created in conjunction with Martin-Baker, a British aviation company responsible for supplying 70% of the world’s air-forces with fighter ejection seat technology (hence the MB moniker), and are tested to withstand the same rigorous testing program as the ejection seats themselves including Live Ejection Testing, MFOS Crashworthy Testing, Extreme Temperature Endurance, Vibration Testing, Altitude Testing and Aircraft Carrier Deck Testing.
The version we have here is the MBII, which is the civilian version of the MB series (the MBI is reserved for those who have used, and survived, ejecting with an MB ejection seat). It's a first generation piece, so utilises a day and date window and the earlier Roman sword style hands on the black dial. The central aluminium barrel of the 43mm hardened steel case is finished in orange, which works superbly with the black dial and grey case. It's powered by the Bremont caliber BE-36AE automatic chronometer, which is based on the ETA 2836-2, and finished and tuned by Bremont.
This particular one-owner piece was purchased in 2019 and presents in TZ 'Good' condition. Has been worn regularly, and the case shows some rubs marks and scratches, a ding on the bezel outboard of the 8 marker, and another to the side of the bezel near 10. Crystal has some rub marks, the largest running down the right side. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes mounted to an aftermarket textile strap on aftermarket buckle. Unfortunately the original strap and buckle were stolen in a break-in at the original owners house, along with the box and papers.
Was serviced by an independent in 2019 according to the original owner. Currently keeping time at around -4 seconds a day at high 290 degrees of amplitude.
No box or papers - see above. Will come with Watch Vault Travel Pod and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
A great daily-wearer for the money.
