The Bremont Terra Nova 38 Jumping Hour Stealth Black is a mechanical wristwatch featuring a 38 mm case and a jumping hour complication that displays the hour through a digital window instead of a traditional hand. The case is finished in a matte black coating and houses a dial with contrast markers and legible typography for minute tracking. The jumping hour aperture is positioned at the top of the dial to indicate the current hour as the minute hand cycles.
The main movement is an automatic calibre engineered for precision and reliability, with power reserve and frequency specifications suited to everyday wear. The case back may be secured with a screw-down design to support water resistance. To secure it all together, the strap is a coordinated band that matches the case finish.
