Women’s status and role in the society has greatly changed over the years, with women icons of today fiercely pushing for great women empowerment. But we never forget the exemplary women leaders and icons of the past, who had it worse, but managed to rise up to the society’s standards and inspire generations of women later on. One of them was Lettice Curtis, arguably the best female pilot back in the WWII and a definite badass woman who was admired by many. Bremont decided to pay tribute to the inspirational woman, releasing the Bremont SOLO-32-LC-WH-BR Watch named after her—a symbol of a woman’s resilience and strength behind her beauty.
