BREMONT JAGUAR E-TYPE 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Review
It has been 60 years since the launch of the first Jaguar E-Type sports car at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961 and celebrating its historic unveiling. Jaguar Classic has joined forces with British watch manufacturer Bremont to launch the unique Bremont Jaguar E -Type 60th anniversary limited edition set. In addition to one of two different limited-edition Bremont watches, the package will also include Bremont’s first-ever rally timer and a unique E-Type driving experience hosted by Jaguar Classic.
Relying on the co-inspiration of precision, performance and beauty, Bremont and Jaguar have established a partnership since 2010, marking the release of Bremont’s exclusive analog dashboard clock designed to celebrate the Jaguar C-X75. Over the years, Bremont’s Jaguar watch product portfolio has increased tenfold, including various MKI and MKII models as well as an amazing limited edition Bremont D-Type watch. At the same time, the new Bremont Jaguar E-Type 60th Anniversary Limited Edition offers two special designs with the same colors as the original 9600 HP Coupe and 77 RW Roadster E-Type that were unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961. These two legendary cars completely stole the limelight with their 265 brake horsepower, 3.8-liter engine and roof. Speed exceeds 150 mph. These cars use the colors “Flat Out Grey” and “Drop Everything Green” and are still the inspiration for the new Bremont Jaguar E-Type 60th Anniversary Set.

There are so many details and inspirations in the watch design, our first A rally timer is a perfect and apt tribute.” – Nick English, co-founder of Bremont
