I thought that J would have been along and posted a detailed intro as he usually does for the new Jaguar C-Type but he hasn't so I'll start a thread
https://www.bremont.com/products/jaguar-c-type
it did seem to come in under the radar, the first I knew about it was on another forum then I checked my social media and there it was.
do I like it, now there's a question. Maybe. I like the strap and I like the overall design. I'm not totally sold on the silver sunburst dial with white sub dials , I would need to see that in person. I'm also not totally sold on the design of the white sub dials. It may be the renderings but the sub dials look quite cheap. I"m also not sure about the logo on the case back. If it was all stainless steel I think it would look great, gold coloured, hmm.
As was mentioned by someone on the Bremont Facebook page, it does feel a little bit 'lazy'. How many times can Bremont reimagine the same watch. This is effectively the eighth version of the same style of watch (Mk1, Mk2, Mk3, Mk2 white, D-Type, 60th green, 60th grey before it - admittedly the 60th Anniversary versions are slightly different)
Now the annoying bit. I mentioned on the thread about the Jaguar 60th set that Bremont releasing the rally timer set on its own was a big faux pas in my opinion as it potentially reduced the desirability of the 60th set. Now Bremont have gone another step further and added the tachymeter bezel from the 60th set to the C-type. So for anyone who purchased (or is thinking of purchasing) a 60th set, what are they getting for their money? £13k for the set. £2.5k for the rally timer set. So that's £10.5k for the watch plus a day out driving E-types. Everything on the 60th watch is now available on other Bremonts at £5.5k. So effectively what Bremont are telling their 60th set customers is that watch isn't anything special and they're paying £5k for a day out driving some E-types. Not what I would want to hear.
