The timepiece maintains a [vintage-inspired aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaer-r1-rally-chronograph) 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.
