You can’t just buy the Bremont MBI. You’ll notice that the watchmaker’s website lists it as “out of stock,” with a price on application. You have to earn the right to wear it.SIGN UP FOR THE TRACK CLUB BY R&T FOR MORE EXCLUSIVE STORIES
And to earn that requires one hell of an escape. The Bremont MBI is made available only to “ejectees,” those who have had to rip the handle of a Martin-Baker ejection seat and rocket from the cockpit of a moving airplane. The violent shifting-forces often breaks a person’s back; survivors can walk away an inch and a half shorter than before. The ordeal is that brutal.
That makes the MBI both a badge and a scar. Martin-Baker subsidizes its cost—the company also sends a tie clip to mark the occasion—so those who have one can look down at their wrist and reflect on the moment they faced extreme mortal danger and escaped death.Don’t want to duel with death for a watch? Bremont sells a nearly identical piece, the MBII , differentiated by the logo on the dial and the color of the knurled-aluminum ringen circling the case.
