Bremont Adds a New Face to its America’s Cup Collection

Bremont just added a new face to its wide-ranging involvement in the America’s Cup, which returned to New York Harbor for the first time in nearly a century this past weekend.

The British watch company, teamed with defending America’s Cup champions Oracle Team USA, this week added a new 32mm ladies mechanical chronometer to its America’s Cup Collection. The Bremont AC I 32 is the first women’s watch within this range.

Inspired by the original Bremont AC1, and taking visual cues from famed J-Class yachts of the 1930s, this new watch features sea blue steel hands and a fine ivory white opaline dial embossed with outlines of the America’s Cup trophy. With ‘London’ marked on the dial, the watch will be made in a limited edition of 535 pieces. The hand-polished case is water resistant to 50 meters. Inside is an automatic chronometer-rated automatic movement (visible through the exhibition caseback) with a 40-hour power reserve.

“The AC I has proven to be an incredibly popular timepiece since we launched it last year and has led to lots of enquiries by women who were after a ladies version so this seemed like a natural extension to the line,” explained Bremont co-founder Giles English. “It is of course also very well timed with Bremont having just launched our first women’s watches replica.”

As with all Bremont core collection timepieces, the polished AC I 32 steel cases will undergo a similar hardening treatment (2000
