Marathon training with the Bremont Supermarine Type 300
The Bremont Supermarine Type 300 is a professional diver’s watch with a water resistance of 300 metres. At 40mm, the Type 300 is quite a bit smaller than its predecessors that were 43mm or 45mm in diameter. It is also more compact with a case-back-to-sapphire-crystal-measurement of only 13mm.
The Type 300 is powered by a COSC-certified automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve and features a deep blue dial. The dial has a sunburst finish and is framed by a striking uni-directional rotating bezel made of blue ceramic. Nick English, Bremont’s Co-Founder explains: “The need for a robust dive watch that is so wearable size-wise was the driving force behind the new Type 300’s design and build. The new range is so delightful to wear and really beautifully engineered. The ceramic bezel looks terrific; it’s a wonderful addition to the Bremont stable.” The watch comes on the choice of a stainless-steel bracelet, a 20mm calf leather strap or a NATO style strap.
Once back at the hotel, showered and camera bag at the ready, I went to meet the Whizz-Kidz Birmingham team to discover how they are helping improve the lives of disabled youngsters in the region. This UK charity not only helps provide the very best wheelchairs for those who need them, but it also offers wheelchair skills classes, so kids can get the best out of their equipment. There are also frequent get-togethers where they can hang out and take part in a whole range of fun activities that train everything from coordination to fine motor skills, team building and social skills.
I talked to Paula McGoveney, Head of Events at Whizz-Kidz, who explained the important work of Whizz-Kidz and how it makes such a difference. See the video of our chat below.
