Looking to see if there is any interest in a group order for a custom USAF Pilot Bremont watch. I figure this would appeal to a wide crowd and not just limit it to a specific squadron or airframe. They have been making making custom watches for all the services and squadrons. They just recently made one for Naval Flight Surgeons. I was thinking if they made one similar to this one but with Air Force pilot wings and different colors to compliment it. Below are some details of the program from a Bremont rep. Looks like we would need a minimum of 15 orders. Any interest or inputs to make it better?

I can't get the screenshot to post that I took of the flight surgeon watch but you can find it on their instagram "bremontmilitary"
In terms of Bremont squadron watch buy program, we have two types we can
offer; 1) Smaller scale military watch buy (15 to 50 watch orders); For these we need a minimum initial order of about 15 watches (up to 50). We can work from any watch model from our collection (apart from Limited Edition and new models announced at BaselWorld 2015) and would bespoke the dial by adding either a logo, numeral or aircraft top view, silhouette or both. No other watch parts can be bespoke for this size order. 2) Larger scale military watch buy (50 or more watch orders); For these we need a minimum initial order of about 50 watches. Again, we can work from any watch models from our collection (apart from Limited Edition and new models announced at BaselWorld 2015) and would bespoke the dial by adding either a logo or aircraft top view, silhouette or both and we could also look at altering other watch parts such as rotor, or dial ring or case back or barrel (depending on the watch model chosen). Pricing: Our watches retails between $4,195 - $6,795 depending on the models. That said, Bremont subsidies a considerable part of the cost for special military project and we can provide for squadrons / divisions a bespoke watch for nearly half the retail price. The prices provided include Customs tax and shipping in the USA. The watches come on a calf leather strap and NATO style strap, the leather watch wallet, watch tool and three years warranty. Each watch is also personally engraved on the back case with your name, call sign or date (up to 8 digits). It is also possible to purchase a metal bracelet for and additional $375 ($750). As for timing, once we have agreed on a watch design and have collected enough orders, we request a security deposit payment from each individual to secure the project moving forward. The lead time from then on is about 22-26 weeks (for smaller scale order) and about 32-36 weeks for larger scale projects. I hope this covers most of your initial questions you may have Kyle and I am looking forward to hearing back what your thoughts are. Many thanks, Kind regards, Catherine
