Nims and his team did use oxygen, along with plenty of other modern mountaineering equipment and experience - valuable tools which were likely not available with the same readiness or capacity when the record was first established back in the late eighties It's here, where Nims' unique physiology and military experience puts him literally and figuratively in the rarified air above his peers - most of whom with many more years of mountaineering experience I first heard of Nims when most watch fans did - at the outset of the year, right around the Bremont Townhouse event when the British watchmaker named Dai as its newest ambassador, and announced its support of his "Project Possible" expedition to climb all 14 of the world's tallest mountains, including Mt.
Everest and the notorious K2 - in under a year Unsurprisingly, Nims - a then-unknown mountaineer had few supporters at the outset of his mission, but what many outsiders didn't know, was just how determined, and well-suited Nims' prior experience would serve him in the months to come Lady Luck would side with Project Possible once more, finally granting Nims and his team the last permit they needed to etch their names in the history books on October 29th.
The Bremont S300 was introduced in 2017 as a slightly smaller companion to the brand's flagship S500 dive watch Dropping the case size to 40mm down from 43mm was a savvy one - enabling the S300 to wear more comfortably on a wider variety of wrist sizes, and in the spirit of a more classical dive and sport watch neatly tailored for the varied environments that Nims and his team would encounter throughout the summer Introduced at the outset of this year, the white-dialed variant with the blue ceramic bezel worn by Nims for Bremont Project Possible carries an oddly prophetic air to its strikingly clean aesthetic - one of Nims' strength and positivity, with the contrast and confidence needed to navigate an alpine environment, despite being expressly built as a dive watch.
