Bremont turns to bronze for first Terra Nova watches of 2025

Cupro-aluminium bronze alloy will patinate from a soft gold colour to something a little darker over time.

Bremont is not waiting until this year’s Watches and Wonders to introduce its first novelties of 2025.

The British business endured a bumpy ride at last year’s show for a rebrand revealed on dials of 2024 Terra Novas — the first full collection under CEO Davide Cerrato — but is sticking to the design of those watches in a capsule collection of bronze models.

Like their steel stablemates, the bronze Terra Nova collection of field watches adopts the same low profile cushion-shaped case with shortened lugs.

Dials for all field watches continue to carry the Wayfarer Bremont logo that was unveiled in Geneva last year, although it has been made a little smaller.

Bremont is using a bronze alloy it calls Cupro-aluminium, which contains aluminium and silicon. The company says this makes it stronger, scratch-resistant and more suited to the milling and finishing required for the two-part Terra Nova cases and bracelets.

The bronze alloy is described as a soft gold in colour, although it will darken and patinate with age.

Terra Nova Bronze Date

The Terra Nova Bronze Date is a 40.5mm three-hander with date that comes with a dark green dial. It is powered by a modified Sellita SW200-1 with a Glucydur balance wheel, Anachron balance spring and Nivaflex mainspring.

It can be bought on a choice of bronze bracelet, green nubuck leather strap or black and green NATO strap.

Prices range from $3,900 for the strap versions to $4150 with the bracelet.

Terra Nova Bronze Power Reserve

Second-up is a limited edition of 100 piece with a caramel dial, power reserve and small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock.

The 40.5mm watch runs on an upgraded Sellita SW279 movement and is only sold on a bronze bracelet for $5,100.

Terra Nova Bronze Chronograph

Third is a 42.5mm chronograph with a dark green dial, which is powered by a modified Sellita SW510BH.

Like the Terra Nova Date, it can be bought on two types of strap or the bronze bracelet.

It costs $6,150 on either strap or $6,550 with the bronze bracelet.
