Bremont Terra Nova Bronze
British watchmaker Bremont continues its expansion with three new references in its Terra Nova collection, this time rendered in bronze. Inspired by early 20th-century military watches, these new releases combine rugged design with a modern approach to materials.
For this 2025 edition, Bremont has chosen a cupro-aluminium alloy, a highly resilient bronze distinguished by its gradual, controlled patina. With three distinct models — a three-hand with date, a power reserve version and a chronograph — the Terra Nova Bronze collection is aimed at enthusiasts of tool watches built to last.
A high-resistance bronze case
One of the defining features of these new Terra Nova Bronze models is the use of a specific bronze alloy: cupro-aluminium. Unlike traditional bronze, which can quickly develop an uneven green patina, this material evolves in a more gradual and uniform way.
Its advantages are numerous:
- Increased resistance thanks to the aluminium and silicon present in the alloy.
- Hypoallergenic properties that help avoid skin reactions commonly associated with certain metals.
- A controlled patina that forms after around three months, bringing a subtly aged yet even tone.
This material was selected for its toughness, perfectly aligned with the Terra Nova collection’s tool ethos, which highlights watches capable of facing extreme conditions.
