Bremont Returns to Official Military Insignia with the HMAF Trilogy

Bremont’s military credentials have always been central to its identity, and the new HMAF collection puts that relationship back in sharp focus.

The trilogy spans land, sea and air with three limited-edition watches carrying official insignia from the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.

It’s a neat expression of what Bremont does best, pairing modern tool-watch specifications with a distinctly British military vocabulary.

At a glance

Three services, three Bremont signatures

Bremont has been authorised to use the signs, symbols and heraldic badges of the UK Ministry of Defence’s three armed services since 2019.

That permission matters because it gives the watches a direct visual link to the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force rather than a vague military-inspired treatment.

For this HMAF release, Bremont has chosen one model from each of its core terrain-led families.

The Terra Nova represents land, the Supermarine covers sea, and the Altitude Date takes the air role.

All three are being offered individually, while collectors can also pursue a commemorative set limited to 50 presentation boxes.

Land, sea and air expressed through the case and dial

The HMAF Terra Nova 40.5mm Date is the field-watch member of the trio, with a stainless steel cushion case, 100 metres of water resistance and a caramel gradient dial.

Its California layout mixes Roman and Arabic numerals, while the large blocks of vintage-toned Super-LumiNova keep the design firmly in legible tool-watch territory.

The British Army heraldic badge sits at 9 o’clock, balancing the date window at 3 o’clock.

The HMAF Supermarine 40mm Date is the naval piece, using a 300-metre steel dive-watch case with an ultra-matte grey finish inspired by Royal Navy vessels.

A grey ceramic bezel insert with raised markings gives this 40mm Supermarine a more technical edge, while the Royal Navy badge appears at 6 o’clock on the light grey gradient dial.

The HMAF Altitude 39mm Date is the aviation watch of the collection and keeps Bremont’s Trip-Tick case architecture.

Its steel case is finished in matte midnight bronze Cerakote with a brushed black DLC-coated barrel, while the RAF insignia appears at 6 o’clock on the black dial.

The Altitude also carries Bremont’s long-running Martin-Baker connection through the striped ripcord motif around the date aperture and on the seconds-hand counterweight.

Movements, pricing and collectability

Bremont has given each watch a different automatic movement package, with power reserves ranging from 41 to 68 hours.

The Terra Nova uses the BB54AH calibre with Sellita SW200 architecture, the Supermarine uses the BB64 with Sellita SW300 architecture, and the Altitude uses the BB14-AH derived from the La Joux-Perret G100.

The pricing also reflects the hierarchy of the three models.

The Terra Nova is listed at EUR 3,700 on a tan nubuck strap or EUR 4,000 on a steel bracelet, the Supermarine is EUR 4,750 on grey leather, and the Altitude is EUR 5,150 on a brown nubuck strap.

For Bremont collectors, the appeal is likely to be strongest in the combination of official service insignia, limited production and the spread across three of the brand’s most recognisable watch categories.

Details & Specifications

The HMAF collection works because it doesn’t try to force one military aesthetic across three watches.

Instead, Bremont lets each model keep its own identity while tying the trilogy together through official insignia, practical specifications and a very clear sense of British service heritage.
