Bremont MB Meteor Revives The Titanium Orange
MB Meteor 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.

Here Are the Best Car Care Deals on Amazon Prime Days
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Over the last couple of days, I've spent a few hours scouring Amazon Prime Days deal listings for the best scores on car care, cleaning, and detailing products. I'm not just talking about cheap things—we're only bothering with brands that I use personally or have had specifically recommended to me by someone that I trust. There are thousands of car cleaner items on sale, but the ones on this list are going to be the most worthwhile. First up is my favorite tree sap remover—the goofily named 'Tarminator' from Stoner. I have tried many different sap removers and techniques, but this one in particular has been the quickest and most effective for me by far. I grabbed a can off the shelf randomly at an auto parts store once, and now I'll always have at least one ready to go in my garage at all times. A little dab on a rag, and this thing picks up sap off my BMWs like nothing. Word to the wise, though—heed the directions carefully and don't let this stuff sit on your paint any longer than it has to. It's safe to use correctly, but it's aggressive. Stoner also sells an all-purpose water-based cleaner that's on sale for Prime Days. I have not used this one yet, but I really like having a multi-surface-safe squirt bottle around for touch-ups and detailing. At 15% off, I say this is worth trying. For those of you who like to clean your tires, this Cerakote tire protectant is 19% off. This brand does a great job cleaning anything black—I've used its trim restoration wipes and been shocked at how well they restore old plastic. Speaking of black plastic trim treatments, Cerakote's is not on sale, but this one from Adam's Polishes is. A few friends in a car club I'm in are big fans of this brand. You can sometimes find it on the shelf at AutoZone, but a three-pack is 20% off on Amazon right now. Adam's Polishes also has a great deal on a ceramic coating kit (39% off) and a huge supply of wheel cleaner (40% off). If you're looking to get even more serious about your car detailing loadout, Adam's is also doing 25% off on its Air Cannon drying blower. That unit's normally over $300, so the Prime Days deal saves you quite a few bucks. Air drying is a great way to clean up crevices, and it can be safer than a towel. If that's still too expensive or you just don't have room for it, a much more compact version is also on sale (35% off). For cleaning cars the old-fashioned way, with a simple pair of buckets and water, I recommend a jug of Meguiar's wash and wax soap, which is only $11 (32% off) right now. After drying, you can hit your car with some of Meguiar's ceramic coating spray, which is also on sale (19% off). And if you're looking for a one-stop shop kit that's a little more comprehensive, this 16-piece cleaning arsenal set from Chemical Guys is down to just $127 (20% off) Most of the interior plastic cleaners Amazon's running deals on are kind of mid, but two leather cleaners I like a lot are on sale. Lexol's Two-Step Leather Regimen is nicely discounted at 23% off, and includes everything you need (including applicator) to give leather a nice cleaning and conservation treatment. To care for leather that's already clean, Leather Honey Conditioner is a great option, and that's deeply discounted right now by 39%. Finally, I found some deals on generic cleaning gadgets that are worth looking at while you're stocking up on detailing supplies. I don't know these brands, but when it comes to cloths and brushes, I personally don't think it matters all that much. So save your money where you can. Interior Detail Brushes—3-Pack for $11.99 (33% off) Glass Cleaning Cloths—2-Pack for $7.99 (33% off) Windshield Cleaning Tool for $7.99 (20% off) Microfiber Cloths—12-Pack for $9.49 (21% off) Our team's hard at work, testing tools, parts, and shop equipment. Let our trials and experience be your guide to mastering The Garage.
