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 AIRCO forms part of Bremont's aviation collection but takes a more restrained approach than many pilot's watches. There is no oversized case, no elaborate slide rule and no attempt to recreate a cockpit instrument. Instead, Bremont focused on producing a clean, highly legible everyday watch that happens to have strong aviation roots.
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.
Power comes from a COSC-certified automatic movement and, like the best Bremonts from this period, everything feels well judged. The AIRCO doesn't try to impress through specification or novelty. It succeeds because the proportions are right, the dial is clean and the execution is consistently strong.
