Bremont Williams Racing WR-45 Chronograph Limited Edition

The official timepiece of the Williams Racing paddock

Drawing upon respective British heritages and a dedication to precision engineering, Bremont and Williams Racing present the WR-45 chronograph. Limited to 244 pieces, a reference to the number of races Williams Racing has had one or both drivers on the podium, the WR-45 brings a sleek aesthetic to Bremont’s Motorsport Collection. Uniquely, each watch will come with an original wheel nut from historic Williams Racing cars, certified by Williams Racing.

The design of the WR-45 embodies Bremont’s maxim of being ‘Tested beyond Endurance’ bringing together high performance and extreme durability, a perfect fit for the Williams Racing team who will be putting the watch through its paces throughout the F1 calendar.

The 43mm chronograph brings in a new case design to the Williams Racing range whilst maintaining its tachymeter function, a must-have for timing that running mile. The WR-45 uses Bremont’s immediately recognisable 3-piece Trip-Tick® case construction which has been DLC treated. Boasting a 56-hour power reserve, the WR-45 comes on a black Alcantara strap, a material traditionally used for racing car steering wheels.
