The Bremont Supermarine S500 ‘Coronation’ watch was commissioned by The Royal Mews, a division of The Royal Household, based at Buckingham Palace. This was in order to mark the occasion of the crowning of His Majesty King Charles III on 6 May 2023. The watch was limited to a production run of 50, with pieces only available to those working for, or closely associated with, The Royal Household. The dial displays the King’s cypher and the darkened 8 o’clock baton is in acknowledgement of the day Charles acceded to the throne on his mother’s death on 8 September 2022, with the case back depicting the Royal Standard.
