Luxury watchmaker Bremont is to unveil a special Bermuda-themed watch to celebrate the Island hosting the historic America’s Cup yacht races.

And the limited edition of 250 watches from UK-based Bremont, the official timekeeper for the America’s Cup and defending holders Oracle Team USA, will only be available in one jewellery store in the world — Astwood Dickinson on Front Street.

Astwood Dickinson managing director Ian Smith said he had already taken 60 orders for the America’s Cup-Bermuda watch.

The numbered Bermuda special features the word Bermuda on the dial and a map of the Island on the rotor of the movement, visible through a crystal back.

Mr Smith said: “We’re the only shop in the world selling this watch, which is pretty cool.

“People are coming in and choosing their number — I’ve taken 60 orders already.

“It’s a piece of history and a lovely thing to hand down.”

Mr Smith added that he had been forced to restrict buyers to a maximum of two of the chronometer-standard watches per customer due to the demand.

And he said: “They are under construction at the moment and Bremont has promised we will get the watch before the start of October and the first race.”

The America’s Cup Bermuda special, which costs $4,890, features a stainless steel case with scratch-resistant face waterproof to 100 metres and is available in several dial and leather strap colour combinations.

Bremont, whose logo is a aeroplane propeller, was founded by brothers Giles and Nick English, the sons of an ex-RAF pilot and engineer who instilled a love of flying, yachting and clock construction in his family.

The news of the special Bermuda watch came as Bremont revealed a special America’s Cup collection of four watches, which will also be available at Astwood Dickinson and other jewellers around the world.

Two of the watches are themed on the trophy known as the Auld Mug, while two others are named after defending champions Oracle Team USA.

Giles English, who trained as a naval architect, said: “Bremont is incredibly proud to be involved in such a historical event, not least to be the only watch company allowed to build a watch associated with the 35th America’s Cup and Oracle Team USA.”

The stainless steel America’s Cup I and the rose gold America’s Cup II watches were inspired by the classic lines of legendary 1930s J Class America’s Cup yachts, like Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock V.

They feature classic opaline dials and numbers and outlines of the Auld Mug on their faces.

The Oracle 1 features a rubber strap, while the II has an embossed alligator strap.

The modern-styled stainless Oracle I has a new off-white dial and the Oracle Team USA on the front and back, while the similar Oracle II adds a second time zone and a matt black dial. Both are available with red rubber or black kevlar-style straps and are waterproof to 500 metres.

Oracle Team USA captain Jimmy Spithill, who visited the Oracle boutique in central London, said: “They understand a lot of our componentry, what makes a boat go fast and the all the aviation similarities like lift and drag.”

He added: “Thanks to their background and their interests, I really see it as being a strong relationship.”
