TERRA NOVA
Styled and meticulously crafted, Terra Nova includes all the hallmarks of these original timepieces, capturing their rugged elegance, practicality, simplicity, and essential functionality, reinterpreted for the 21st century.
Featuring a contemporary, geometrical cushion case, elevated through the use of 904L stainless steel, and finished with a combination of brushed and polished texturing for a unique and iconic wristwatch.
The watch’s dial features oversized numerals cut in full-block Super-LumiNova® for increased legibility in low light conditions. The Super-LumiNova® application is continued across the indexes on the broken railroad minute track and vintage inspired hands. The closed case back is engraved with a unique design featuring a charted map of the world and the words ‘Terra Nova’.
The oversized crown combines functionality and crafted elegance, directly referencing field watches from an era where gloved hands needed to operate the crown with accuracy. It is enhanced through the application of Bremont’s new logo ‘The Wayfinder’, reinforcing the brand’s passion for adventure and exploration.
The Terra Nova collection is available in 3 case sizes with increasing functionality. A 38mm two-hander, a 40.5mm iteration both with date function or with a rotating compass bezel, power reserve indicator, date and small seconds. Finally, a 42.5mm steel chronograph completes the core collection.
Davide Cerrato comments: “With Terra Nova we have focused on designing and creating a perfect field watch. Meticulously researching and referencing early 20th century military pocket watches to bring a true sense of provenance in the visual and functional language. This is then reinterpreted for the 21st century with the launch of this elegant and contemporary design. We believe that with Terra Nova begins a new chapter for Bremont which will see the collection become an iconic reference for the brand for many years to come.”
