bremont grey u-2 elite 9th reconnaissance wing watch with anti shock movement bremont the dna of the u-2 chronometer lies firmly with the military following the pioneering development and dramatic success of the bremont military air-crew watch developed in association with the world’s largest ejection seat manufacturer, martin-baker. the elite 9th reconnaissance wing at beale wanted a watch with the same testing history as the bremont mb but one that had also been custom-tested to their own requirements. the finished u-2 chronometer has most of the advanced elements of the mb, including; the anti-shock rubberised movement mount; designed to withstand the mb ejection seat program, but also added functionality.
