What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Bremont ionBird

Owners report the Bremont ionBird is overpriced and features a printed dial with a poorly placed date window at 4:30, which some find visually disruptive. However, some owners suggest its case finishing is superior to competitors. The 43mm titanium Bremont ionBird GMT is powered by a COSC-certified BE-93-2AV automatic movement and retails for $5,795. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Bremont ionBird's date window placement and price point to be significant drawbacks.
