Bremont Boeing BB247-TI-GMT/DG "Lamb and Prawn Tour" Limited Edition – Titanium GMT Chronograph
Bremont Boeing BB247-TI-GMT/DG – Now this is a truly unique Bremont. Far removed from a standard Boeing model, this rare example features the desirable "London" dial signature, denoting UK manufacture while still meeting the strict standards required for COSC chronometer testing. Combining Bremont's aviation heritage with Boeing-inspired engineering, it delivers a distinctive blend of British watchmaking and aerospace innovation.
What makes this watch particularly special is the engraving found on the caseback. In place of a conventional serial number, this example is marked "Lamb and Prawn Tour" in reference to the famous US road trip undertaken by Bremont founders Nick and Giles English. Travelling across America in a vintage Porsche 911 as part of a well-documented promotional campaign, staff and crew involved with the tour were issued commemorative watches bearing this unique engraving. As a result, this may well be one of only a handful produced, and potentially a one-of-one piece.

Our View
Bremont has produced a number of compelling limited and special editions over the years, but few can match the story behind this example. The famous Lamb and Prawn Tour played an important role in building the Bremont brand in the United States, and watches associated with that campaign are rarely encountered on the open market.
The combination of the desirable London-signed dial, titanium construction, GMT complication and aviation-inspired design already makes this an attractive Boeing model. Add the unique tour engraving and direct connection to Nick and Giles English, and the result is a Bremont with genuine historical significance within the brand's modern story.
For Bremont enthusiasts and collectors of unusual provenance pieces, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally interesting watch that is unlikely to be replicated.
