Terra Nova

The Bremont Terra Nova is notable for its expedition pedigree, developed in collaboration with polar explorer Ben Saunders for his record-setting Antarctic trek. This model blends British engineering with field-tested durability, making it a compelling choice for collectors interested in modern adventure watches with a genuine backstory. The Terra Nova’s titanium case at 42.5mm offers a lightweight yet substantial wrist presence, ideal for those who appreciate both comfort and resilience in challenging environments.

Reference variants like the Terra Nova GMT are powered by the Bremont-modified automatic movement, often the caliber BE-93-2AE, which adds a practical GMT hand for tracking multiple time zones—a feature directly inspired by its expedition use. The internal bi-directional compass bezel and 500m water resistance further distinguish the Terra Nova within Bremont’s lineup, setting it apart from standard Supermarine models. Collectors value the limited production numbers and the unique caseback engraving depicting the Antarctic journey route.

Pricing varies based on condition, completeness (original straps, compass, box, and papers), and especially the presence of the limited edition medallion on the caseback. Earlier releases and those directly tied to the Saunders expedition command a premium, while later runs or examples missing accessories trend lower. When considering a Terra Nova, verify the correct movement and bezel action, as these are key to the model’s appeal and function.
