Default Bremont MW Heli Chrono available now

So only 50 made and ATg can sell them.. its busy but I like busy wearing an ALT1-P daily....








Below shots courtesy of Piers at Altitude LINK








MW Heli-Chrono The watch itself is based on Bremont’s ALT1-P Chronograph range of watches.


The modified automatic chronometer (COSC) certified BE-54AE movement is beautifully finished at Bremont’s ateliers in the UK and Biel, Switzerland, and once wound, will use the movement of the wearer to keep its mainspring fully wound. The decorated movement can be seen through a sapphire exhibition crystal on the case back. The chronograph stop watch is configured for a measuring time of 12hrs.


Built with a unique black DLC Trip-Tick Bremont case which has been hardened through a series of processes at high temperature to give it a hardness and scratch
resistance of 2000 Vickers. A standard untreated 316L stainless steel watch case

will be naturally be around 300 Vickers.


The sapphire crystal covering the dial has 9 layers of anti-reflective treatment on each side of the crystal reducing light reflections on the crystal face by up to 95%. This treatment is specially designed to be as scratch resistant as the sapphire crystal they have been applied to…
Background on Michael Wong


As an actor Michael’s has had considerable success and has appeared in over 50
films in the last two decades, including notably the 1998 film “Beast Cops “which
won a Hong Kong Film Award with Michael in the lead role.
In December 2000 Michael WONG was appointed Pilot (Helicopter) in the Hong
Kong Air Cadet Corps (HKACC) with the rank of Specialist Flight

Another Bremont DLC chrono to love.
Pretty cool ambassador, too.

Aparantly, selected buyers get a helicopter ride around Hong Kong piloted by the man himself, to "add an extra dimension" to the purchase!
Not sure how many out of 50 get "selected" or how, but still, pretty cool.
And Al, "busy" is an understatement...
Johnny.

That is very nice indeed.
I could see that on my wrist.
I like busy too!

Bremont should have saved the Red rotor for when they get to make the official Red Arrows watch though

Mark.
