BRM replica: Limited Edition Corvette Racing Series
French independent watchmaker BRM has just released its Chevrolet Corvette C7.R Racing series, comprising five timepieces (chronographs or three-hand date watches) developed in collaboration with Corvette Racing to pay homage to true icons of the automotive industry.
Bernard Richards, head of the French independent watch brand BRM, is known for his passion for powerful mechanics. From the brand’s inception, much of his work has been closely linked to the world of automobiles and motorcycles—in design, construction, and color schemes.
Now, BRM continues this tradition, even taking it a step further… in fact, it has just released a series of five limited-edition watches (including chronographs and three-hand date displays) to pay tribute to the iconic Chevrolet Corvette.
These timepieces incorporate iconic Corvette elements, such as hands and dials painted in the classic C7.R yellow, leather straps with custom stitching inspired by racing seatbelts, and crowns engraved with the brand’s unofficial mascot, “Jack.”
The 44mm stainless steel case is available in yellow/black and black/grey color schemes. Furthermore, to celebrate the two Corvette C7.R race cars competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the watchmaker has created two limited-edition timepieces, both powered by a 24-hour movement—a subtle tribute to the series’ debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2015. moon-watch.co.uk
