The legend lives on

British watch brand Bremont formed a partnership with Jaguar more than a decade ago when it made a bespoke clock for the C-X75 concept car. It followed that four years later with gold watches to complement the continuation Special GT E-types built by Jaguar Classic, then produced a range named after the Mark I and Mark II saloons (and added a MKIII for good measure).
So when it was announced two years ago that Jaguar Classic would produce 25 continuation D-type racers to bring the number built to a round 100, it was only right that there should be another Bremont special – this time a run of 300 chronographs with dials in the blue livery of the Ecurie Ecosse Le Mans winners of 1956 and ’57.
You won’t be surprised to discover that the maker is set to mark this year’s 60th anniversary of the regular E-type with another round of limited editions, the designs of which honour the two 1961 launch cars.
