Bremont Jaguar D-Type

Bremont is a true rarity in the modern timepiece industry. 

Independently owned, the company produces incredibly high-quality, purpose-built timepieces in Great Britain with a distinctively aeronautical theme. Utilizing its custom Trip-Tick cases and modified Swiss calibers tuned to Chronometer grade, Bremont's collection showcases the passion for engineering and aviation that the owners, Nick & Giles English, hold close to their hearts. We're suckers for timepieces with soul, and Bremont has it in spades.

This Jaguar D-Type was inspired by and pays tribute to the Ecurie Ecosse racing team who won Le Mans 24 Hours in both 1956 and 1957 - in a D-Type of course. This piece is one of only 300 pieces that were made and features a hardened 43mm stainless steel, Trip-Tick case equipped with their signature DLC-coated barrel. 

Accompanying this robust case is a blue dial contrasted by a pair of silver subsidiary registers and a red chronograph seconds hand. The dial also features a date window at 6 o'clock, luminous Arabic markers and a tachymeter scale bordering the dial.

Powered by BE-50AE self-winding movement, this piece is outfitted on a signed perforated leather strap with a signed deployant buckle. What's more this piece comes complete with its full kit including a signed leather folio from Jaguar's Design Director, Ian Callum.

A distinguished gentleman needs a distinguished watch — this Jaguar D-Type chronograph, or any Bremont for that matter — is exactly that!

Founded in 2002 by brothers Nick and Giles English, British brand Bremont has since become a beloved manufacture of racing, aeronautical and military-inspired timepieces.

Based in the picturesque Henley-on-Thames, Bremont designs and produces a diverse array of watches in its own facilities. Its technology — including its three-piece Trip-Tick case — has ensured its use the world over by racing teams, explorers, and the militaries of myriad countries, who are catered to by a dedicated special projects division. Indeed, entire squadrons of fighter wings have been outfitted with their own special Bremont watches.

Partnerships with distinctly British organizations including the Ministry of Defense, Jaguar and England Rugby have ensured Bremont a place as the UK’s most visible watchmaker, while a new manufacturing facility in Henley-on-Thames called The Wing is now churning out in-house movements, finally bringing watchmaking back to English shores. Exclusively mechanical in design, Bremont watches are some of the most exciting on offer by the world’s “boutique” watchmaking houses.
