Bremont MBII King Charles III Limited Edition

Bremont presents a commemorative timepiece in celebration of the Coronation of King Charles III. The Limited Edition MBII is imbued with subtle nods to His Majesty and marks a truly historic occasion. Only 50 pieces will be made and are exclusively available through Bremont boutiques globally as well as through the Bremont website.

The MBII King Charles III timepiece is based upon Bremont’s iconic Martin-Baker ‘MB’ range, a representation of British engineering and watchmaking at its very best. The clear white dial is punctuated by black framed, lume-filled hands and a poignant regal purple seconds hand. A date function sits at 3 o’clock. The stainless steel Trip-Tick® case construction is complemented by a knurled titanium barrel and turning the watch over reveals a stainless steel closed case back elegantly engraved with the official King Charles III Coronation Emblem. The watch comes on a black calf leather strap with white stitching.

As a proudly British brand, and with Bremont’s long-standing partnership with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) honouring His Majesty’s Armed Forces, the Coronation was an occasion not to be missed. Bremont has previously had the privilege of presenting prominent members of the Royal family with Bremont timepieces including Prince Philip who was the recipient of a bespoke Bremont pocket watch as part of the celebrations for the late Queen’s Jubilee in 2011. Bremont was also notably commissioned by Jaguar to create bespoke car clocks for Queen Elizabeth II’s fleet of Jaguar cars.

The customisable design of the MBII lends itself beautifully to private commissions where there is ample opportunity for military personnel, specialised communities and private organisations to design something to their unique requirements. As arguably the most recognisable Bremont design, the MBII was the natural timepiece of choice for this particular project.

Bremont Co-Founder Giles English comments: “As a business we’ve been hugely honoured to be the sole luxury watch manufacturer for His Majesty’s Armed Forces since 2019 and have received various Royal commissions over the years. We’re thrilled to be celebrating the Coronation with this very limited version of our MBII.

Bremont has also created an exclusive commemorative coin which will be a special gift with any watch purchase for the month of May and whilst stocks last. Inspired by the concept of a traditional military challenge coin, Bremont’s Coronation Coin also features the official Coronation Emblem of HM King Charles III.
