Bremont MBII White LIVE EJECTION TESTING
Přibližně 7.500 životů již bylo zachráněno díky technologii vystřelovacích sedadel navržených Martinem Bakerem.
V letošním roce značka Bremont reagovala na poptávku po chronometru s bílým číselníkem, který by byl navržen tak, aby se mohl označovat jako Britský Letecký Chronometr.
Hodinky byly navrženy tak, že vnitřní pouzdro strojku chrání pružný prstenec, který omezuje vliv vnějších otřesů. Zároveň vnitřní pouzdro, které strojek obklopuje, působí jako ochrana proti magnetickému poli. (Trip-Tick®)
Hodinky Bremont MBII White byly navrženy ve spolupráci s dnes již kultovní společností Martina Bakera a podrobily se řadě testů:
- LIVE EJECTION TESTING: Live ejection launch (pictured above) puts the watch under extreme G forces.
- ALTITUDE TESTING: The watches are held in an Altitude Test Chamber to simulate taking them up to 100,000 feet for 60 minutes before being rapidly brought down again.
- AIRCRAFT CARRIER DECK TEST: The ACDT test simulates the level of salt fog and humidity that an aircraft carrier deck would endure during a 6 month tour. Exposure to salt and then drying for 96 hours tests the watches against corrosion and the binding of moving parts.
- VIBRATION TESTING: The test shakes and vibrates the watch on the wrist of a test dummy to simulate a 30 year life of an aircraft.
- EXTREME TEMPERATURE ENDURANCE: The Bremont MB watches have been subjected to Temperature Testing to ensure they continue to operate in extreme conditions. The watch is held for one day in temperatures as low as -40° C, and then up to +40° C for a further 24 hours.
- MFOS CRASHWORTHY TEST: The Multi-functional Operators seat (MFOS) is used in helicopters such as the Blackhawk. This particular test simulates a dynamic forward crash at over 18G, moving at 42ft per second.
