The pushers are screw down but the final production version of the Model 247 will feature pushers with a more matte finish as well as a case that is a touch thinner than that seen in the photos and a chapter ring of some sort surrounding the edge of the dial.

With a cool bi-directional bezel with an engraved edge that matches nicely with the screw-down pushers, the Model 247 has Bremont’s excellent anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a display case back.

Take a close look at the cool blue asymmetrical head on the seconds hand, the inlaid markers and the excellent legibility of both the black and white versions. Fun fact, during development the Model 247 was originally named the Model 10, after Boeing’s first twin engine aircraft. The name was later changed to the Model 247 as the Model 10 was never a commercially available plane.

On wrist, both models have an excellent balance and a signature Bremont appeal. The white dial version is especially attractive and features handsome black details throughout the dial design. When available later this year, the steel Model 247 will carry a retail price of $6,750 USD, which places it as a step above much of the ATL1 range. With the inclusion of higher grade metals and the connection to Boeing, the price seems just right.

Perhaps most importantly, the Model 247 offers the Bremont aesthetic in a form that is separated from their other established chronograph models. With a total of four new models announced at Baselworld this year, Bremont is picking up the pace and has expanded their range into new designs that incorporate interesting new metals. bremont.com
