Quick facts
Description
Bremont was founded in 2002 by brothers Nick and Giles English. The name comes from a French farmer called Antoine Bremont who helped them after an emergency landing while flying a vintage aircraft in France, a story that reflects the brand's long association with aviation. From the outset, Bremont positioned itself at the premium end of the market, focusing on robust well-engineered watches with strong aviation and military links. This watch predates the 2023 investment and the changes that followed and sits firmly in the Bremont most people recognise: the English brothers' version of the brand.
The Argonaut forms part of Bremont's Armed Forces collection and was developed in conjunction with serving personnel from the Royal Navy. While many military-inspired watches borrow heavily from issued designs, the Argonaut was conceived as a modern military dive watch from the outset. The result is a watch that feels purposeful rather than nostalgic.
I've had a Broadsword in my own collection for a while and it gave me a proper appreciation for what Bremont do well. The build quality, the finishing and especially the case work are a step above what you might expect at this level. The Trip-Tick case is a big part of that. Splitting the case into multiple components isn't just a talking point, it gives the watch real depth and presence, and it also wears well over time. It's a shame that they've moved away from it on newer models, as it's one of the things that really made Bremont feel different.
The Argonaut takes that construction and pairs it with a clean, highly legible military dial and serious dive-watch capability. Everything feels considered and functional. The bezel action is excellent, the dial layout is uncluttered and the overall impression is one of a watch built to serve a purpose rather than chase trends.
Power comes from a COSC-certified automatic movement and, like the best Bremonts from this period, the watch succeeds through execution rather than gimmicks. It feels solid, well made and reassuringly over-engineered.
