The Bremont Martin-Baker MBII-BK/Orange is one of the most representative pilot watches in Bremont's history, born from a collaboration with Martin-Baker, a British company specializing in the development and production of ejection systems for military aircraft.
The MBII project goes beyond merely evoking the world of aviation: the watch was developed to undergo a rigorous testing program in collaboration with Martin-Baker, including ejection, shock, vibration, extreme temperature, altitude, and particularly demanding environmental condition tests.
The MBII-BK/Orange reference is immediately recognizable by its characteristic orange knurled central barrel, one of the most iconic aesthetic elements of Bremont's Martin-Baker family.
The contrast between the orange barrel and the black dial gives the watch a strongly technical and aeronautical identity.
The dial uses large Arabic numerals and high-legibility indices, accompanied by Super-LumiNova® material to allow for quick time reading even in low-light conditions.
The second hand also features the characteristic detail inspired by the Martin-Baker ejection handle, further strengthening the bond between the watch and the world of military aviation.
The 43 mm case uses Bremont's signature Trip-Tick® architecture and is crafted from hardened stainless steel, designed to offer greater durability for daily use.
Between the upper section and the case back lies the distinctive orange knurled aluminum barrel, an element that visually defines this specific configuration.
Another technical feature of the MBII is the Roto-Click® bidirectional internal bezel, which is graduated and adjustable via the second crown positioned at 4 o'clock.
This solution keeps the scale protected under the crystal and allows it to be used for measuring time intervals.
The dial is protected by a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, chosen for its high scratch resistance and excellent legibility.
Inside the case is a protection system specifically designed for use in demanding conditions.
The movement is installed on a patented anti-shock mount, while in versions with a closed case back, an internal soft-iron Faraday cage helps protect it from the influence of magnetic fields.
The heart of the Bremont MBII is the automatic BE-36AE caliber, a movement modified to Bremont specifications and Chronometer certified.
It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz) and has a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.
The movement also features a decorated and skeletonized Bremont rotor.
Primary functions include hours, minutes, central seconds, and date, complemented by the Roto-Click internal bezel for measuring time intervals.
The MBII-BK/Orange configuration is completed by a black strap with orange details, designed to chromatically echo the central barrel and accentuate the model's technical character.
Water resistance reaches 100 meters / 10 ATM, making the MBII sufficiently versatile even outside of its natural aeronautical context.
The Bremont Martin-Baker MBII-BK/Orange is currently a discontinued model, officially retired from the Bremont catalog.
The orange barrel represents one of the most recognizable elements in the history of the MB collection: a detail so characteristic that Bremont has subsequently revisited it as a historical reference even in more recent evolutions of the Martin-Baker family.
A pilot watch with a strong identity, in which design, engineering, and the history of British aviation converge in a configuration that has become particularly representative of Bremont production.
