The 2023 Bremont Jaguar C-Type Watch is a limited-edition chronograph created with the namesake automotive brand's 1953 Le Mans win in mind to provide racing aficionados with an option for their collection.
The timepiece maintains a vintage-inspired aesthetic that calls to mind the early 1950s-era Jaguar XK120-C racer and boasts a 43mm stainless steel Trip-Tick construction. The watch has been paired with a PCD-treated middle section along with a bi-directional rotating bezel, a screw-down main crown with the midcentury tread pattern of the C-Type's Dunlop tires and more.
The 2023 Bremont Jaguar C-Type Watch is accented by the Growler hood ornament-inspired motif on the case back and assembled completely by hand in the UK. Priced at $6,495, the watch is available now for preorder.
