Introducing the Bremont x Williams Racing collection

As Official Timing and Watch Partner to #williams Racing, #bremont releases a special #limitededition box set complete with an exclusive #williams Racing experience. The parallels between the two British engineering businesses, each with their own British heritage, and both based in the Oxfordshire countryside are the foundations on which this #partnership was built and certainly what makes it an undeniable fit.

Limited to only 45 sets, the #bremont #williams Racing Box Set comprises a pair of racing inspired watches that celebrate one of the most iconic teams in Formula One. Most uniquely, each set also comes with a once in a lifetime ‘Race Day’ experience hosted at Grove, the official home of #williams Racing. Taking place during the 2022 Singapore and Mexico Grand Prix race weekends respectively, each box set owner and a guest will enjoy an immersive #williams Racing Formula One experience. Guests will be taken on a guided tour of the race team HQ and the #williams Racing Museum to understand the team’s illustrious history, being one of only three Constructors to win over 100 Grand Prix races.

The museum charts Frank Williams’ life work and legacy and #williams Racing’s illustrious racing heritage. Exhibited therein is a vast treasure trove of historic racing cars. Furthermore, guests will also experience the ‘Mission Control’ room where the UK based technical team review Grand Prix race metrics live and liaise with the team on location at each race venue, supporting the drivers and pit crew. The ‘Mission Control’ experience offers a behind the scenes view of the #williams Racing technical team at work.

Included in the #bremont #williams Racing Box Set are both the FW44 Chrono and the FW44 Classic timepieces. The design of the FW44 Chrono very much embodies Bremont’s maxim of being ‘Tested Beyond Endurance’, bringing together high performance and extreme durability. The 43mm chronograph with DLC finish, a treatment often used on racing car parts, incorporates a bi-directional tachymeter, a must have for timing that running mile. The dial configuration is wonderfully reminiscent of some of the classical motoring chronographs of old. Equally evocative are the 1970s inspired chronograph hands which hark back to the heyday of racing. The highly legible dial is accented by a red chronograph second hand, and Super-LumiNova filled applied indexes and hands ensure luminosity at night.

This automotive chronograph thoughtfully weaves in the #williams Racing colour palette of Oxford Blue, Electric Blue and White. The black ceramic rotating bezel frames a crisp white dial with flashes of #williams Racing Electric Blue and Oxford Blue seen on the 12 hour counter. Turning the watch over reveals its custom decorated tungsten rotor inspired by the #williams Racing car wheel rim and featuring the #williams Racing logo. The FW44 Chrono timepiece has a 42 hour power reserve and comes on a new Alcantara strap, a material traditionally used for racing car steering wheels.

Complementing the sporty FW44 Chrono is an elegant and somewhat more retro feeling 40mm timepiece, the FW44 Classic. The unisex, more compact piece comes in a satin finished stainless steel #bremont Trip-Tick  case and pays homage to #williams Racing with its darker ‘Oxford Blue’ pantone used on the dial and extending to its nubuck leather strap. The dial takes design cues from art deco dress watches with a framed date window, beautifully applied indexes, elegant hands and a two-tone raised outer ring minute track. The red seconds hand mirrors that of the Chrono and enhances legibility. Turning the watch over reveals an open case back with custom decorated rotor featuring the #williams Racing logo.
