Bremont MB Meteor Revives The Titanium Orange
Bremont has introduced the MB Meteor, the latest evolution of its long-standing partnership with Martin-Baker, the British ejection seat manufacturer. For 16 years, the MB series has been an important collection for the brand, known for its rugged durability and aviation pedigree, with each model undergoing the same extreme testing used on ejection seats.
Orange barrel
The MB Meteor features a slimmer Trip-Tick case construction crafted from lightweight Grade 2 titanium, improving its wearability. It is available with either a black or silver dial, both designed for improved legibility. A key visual element makes a welcome return: the vivid orange central barrel, developed through extensive R&D to match the original MB tone. This colour is applied using a Cerakote ceramic coating over titanium, chosen for its strong adhesion, thermal stability and resistance to wear.
As with all MB models, the Meteor undergoes testing protocols created in partnership with Martin-Baker. These include live ejection tests, high-impact vibration testing, and exposure to extreme temperature cycles, assuring its credibility as a true aviation-grade tool watch.
MB Dial
Inside, the MB Meteor is powered by a chronometer-rated automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The 43 mm titanium case offers 100 meters of water resistance and is fitted with a screw-down crown for additional security. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a solid titanium case back completes the lightweight yet robust construction.
The MB Meteor represents a refined balance of Bremont's British engineering approach and practical tool-watch execution. Two dial options, both framed by the distinctive orange barrel, link the new model back to the earliest MB designs and the bold aesthetics of the original collaboration.

Jaguar CEO Adrian Mardell steps down after ‘woke' rebrand sparked massive social media firestorm
The Jaguar CEO is stepping down months after leading a controversial 'woke' rebrand campaign for the auto company. Jaguar Land Rover CEO Adrian Mardell is set to retire after three decades at the luxury car company and serving as CEO for three years, a spokesperson for the automaker announced on Thursday, Reuters reported. Advertisement The British car brand turned heads last year with its release of a new ad, which featured a reimagined logo under the slogan 'Copy Nothing.' The ad featured androgynous models in brightly colored, over-the-top outfits, including one man wearing a dress, along with other slogans such as 'create exuberant,' 'live vivid,' 'delete ordinary' and 'break moulds.' The ad did not feature a car throughout its entire 30-second run. The video blew up on social media, drawing tens of thousands of comments and nearly 47 million views in 24 hours.

Aston Martin May Sell Stake in Formula 1 Racing Team and Go Private in Turnaround Efforts
Despite coming up with some compelling vehicles in recent years, Aston Martin has continued to struggle financially, leading it to some tough decisions as it plots a path forward. Among other efforts, the storied British automaker reportedly plans to sell its stake in its Formula 1 racing team, and some expect the company to delist itself from the London Stock Exchange. Aston only owns 4.6 percent of the racing team, but the sale would raise $146 million for the company, which desperately needs cash. The automaker cited tariffs and a slowdown in China for its struggles, saying it would only break even this year, which caused a drop in its share prices. The company's stock market valuation has dropped from almost $6 billion in late 2018 to just over $1 billion today. That said, the F1 team sale valued the company at $3.2 billion. Related: 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante First Drive Review: Not For the Faint of Heart While Aston Martin won't have a stake in the F1 team after the sale, it will continue a relationship with the sport through naming and branding agreements, so we won't see a change on the grid. The automaker's car lineup is one of the most compelling in its history, so there are reasons for Aston to be encouraged. Its first SUV, the DBX has grown to account for almost half of its sales, and other new models have received stellar reviews from customers and critics. Lawrence Stroll acquired the Force India F1 team in 2018 and transformed it into the Aston team we know today. Stroll and his partners have continue investing in the business, but many credit Netflix's Drive to Survive with bringing the sport's value to an all-time high. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Musk's X: Britain's Internet safety law 'seriously infringes' free speech
"Many are now concerned that a plan ostensibly intended to keep children safe is at risk of seriously infringing on the public's right to free expression," the Global Government Affairs wing of the Elon Musk-owned X said Friday on Britain's newly-enacted Online Safety Act. Photo by Ismael Mohamad/ UPI | License Photo Aug. 1 (UPI) -- The Elon Musk-owned social media platform X said Friday that Britain's newly-enacted Online Safety Act "seriously" is on the cusp of violating free speech masked as the fight to protect kids from explicit online content. "Many are now concerned that a plan ostensibly intended to keep children safe is at risk of seriously infringing on the public's right to free expression," the Global Government affairs wing of the Bastrop, Texas-headquartered X said Friday. Britain's Online Safety Act created a new set of legal duties that tech companies must abide by. It mandated they evaluate the potential of users encountering illegal Internet content and children being exposed to online harm, which included a required safety assessment. "When lawmakers approved these measures, they made a conscientious decision to increase censorship in the name of 'online safety,'" the letter stated. The British parliament passed it in September 2023 in the quest to improve online safety for young people. X argues the British people may not of been aware of the "trade-off" when London passed the bill. The OSA covers more than 130 offenses ranging from harassment and "assisting or encouraging suicide" to terrorism, fraud and "unlawful immigration." It targets tech entities that spans "social media or video-sharing platforms, messaging, gaming and dating apps, forums and file-sharing sites." According to the former Twitter, the act's "laudable intentions" were at risk of "being overshadowed by the breadth of its regulatory reach." "While everyone agrees protecting children is a critical responsibility, it is also clear that an overly rigorous statutory framework layered with a 'voluntary' code and heightened police monitoring, oversteps the intended mission," it continued. On Friday, a British watchdog group indicated that those fears may may be valid. "The BBC is now reporting that information about the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, UK rape gangs, and more is being censored online due to the government's new Online 'Safety' Act," Silkie Carlo, director of Britain-based Big Brother Watch, posted on X. "Well done lads," she added in jest. X's government affairs offiec says free speech will suffer without a "more balanced, collaborative approach." Pornhub and other major pornographic websites had a targeted end of July date to implement its age verification mechanisms in order to comply. Musk, 54, has characterized himself as a "free speech absolutist." The former White House DOGE adviser, for his part, has said the act's purpose was "suppression of the people" as he tweeted a petition calling for it's repeal that got more than 450,000 signatures. OSA's deadline required pornographic websites to implement "robust" age verification methods or face fines close to $20 million or equal to 10% of company proceeds. X cited British regulator Ofcom how it "to date" had allegedly taken a "heavy-handed approach" to enforcement, which it said included a boost in resources, additional "layers of bureaucratic oversight and signaling an aggressive approach to ensuring compliance." In a recent Ofcom research study, some 8% of children aged of 8 to 14 accessed a pornography source over a 28-day period. It included 19% boys and 11% of girls from 13 to 14 years old. In addition to the increased government regulations, X officials also cite Britain's new "National Internet Intelligence Investigations" team unit company officials say "sets off alarm bells" and will further "intensify scrutiny." The social media company said the Internet teams "sole" focus is to monitor social media for "signs of unrest, such as anti-immigrant sentiment, to prevent real-world violence." "While positioned as a safety measure, it clearly goes far beyond that intent," the post reads. "This move has set off alarm bells for free speech advocates who characterize it as excessive and potentially restrictive."
