Why are Bremont watches good? Bremont S302 Watch Review
Jul 19, 2021
Watch It All About
I’ve always been an admirer of Bremont, with their British base and heritage, gentlemanly design, and high levels of craftsmanship. But, they’ve always eluded me. Until now. As soon as they reached out, I was more than happy to check out anything they sent my way - they’d decided to send the S302, a 40mm vintage-inspired professional dive watch. I took one look and knew I’d have a good time checking it out.
Is it worth £3295? Or are you better off going Swiss for a similar price, such as Oris? Let’s find out.

The S302 features a stainless steel Trip-Tick® case construction with a scratch-resistant DLC treated barrel. Bremont uses their case hardening process named B-EBE2000 (which doesn’t roll off the tongue), where the metal is heat-treated and defused with carbon, then bombarded with electrons. The result? Metal with a hardness rating of 2000Hv – seven times harder than standard steel, and therefore, more scratch-resistant.
DESCRIPTION
the company’s iconic ‘P-51’ Super LumiNova. These details are further accented by the new Sahara Vintage
leather strap against the black dial of the S302.
The trademark of the Supermarine collection is that it highlights the connection between sea and air, a range
that has been designed for the water but very much inspired by aviation principles. Turning the watch over
reveals a closed case back with an etching of the Supermarine Seaplane, a nod to the watches’ namesake, the
1930s aircraft company, Supermarine, whose first ever Spitfire prototype (the Type 300) led to one of Britain’s
most iconic aircraft. The new model incorporates a uni-directional ceramic rotating bezel and is manufactured
using Bremont’s Trip-Tick® three-piece case construction, housing a beautifully finished and chronometertested movement.
Bremont’s impressive line-up of ambassadors never cease to amaze with the extraordinary challenges they
continue to take on and running legend Nick Butter’s latest is no exception. Aptly named “Run Britain”, Nick will
attempt to run 200 marathons in 100 days around the coast of Britain, becoming the first person to run 100
double marathons back-to-back. Nick will be wearing the new S302 to keep an eye on his timing as he runs the
14 hours a day to cover the 52.4 miles that equates to a double marathon, every day for 100 days. He will run a
total of 5,240 miles.
Over the last 10 years, Nick has taken on countless running endurance challenges all over the world and to date
has clocked over 45,000 miles, completed 828 marathons, claimed 4 world records, 2 world firsts and has a
reputation for pushing the boundaries of what most deem as possible
