BREMONT SUPERMARINE WR-22 Chronograph Review
It’s that time of year again when the luxury watch show inundates us with new arrivals; Watches and Wonders is just around the corner, tomorrow is the 2022 Bremont Townhouse event, and the Henley on Thames makers showcase their novelties for the year. For a glimpse into the future, Bremont is announcing the Bremont Supermarine WR-22 Chronograph to celebrate their partnership with Williams Racing.
Last year, just in time for the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship in Bahrain, Bremont announced that they are the official timekeeping and watch partner of the Williams Formula 1 team. Despite the announcement, there was no watch to follow, hence our long-awaited release of the Bremont Supermarine WR-22 chronograph. What we didn't expect, however, was the launch of three new watches, the aforementioned one and a special Bremont Williams Racing Box kit to make up for the second and third - but more on that later. The British watchmaker also announced that with the release of these watches, Bremont and Williams will join forces to combine their manufacturing and technical capabilities to produce watches and auto parts at Bremont's The Wing factory. This is a first for both industries and is a fantastic showcase of how two different UK manufacturers have come together to share their knowledge and expertise.

Complex machining to very high tolerances requires a significant investment in mechanical and technical skills, and any additional support from the Williams technical team will undoubtedly be of great value to our business Value. We are delighted to be working with such a prestigious UK tech business and look forward to seeing where we can collaborate.”
The Bremont Supermarine WR-22 Chronograph perfectly embodies the new partnership between Bremont and Williams, with a design that proudly features the racing team’s colors and codes. The panda dial is sporty with a crisp white background, striking red chronograph seconds hand and black snailed counters. Contrasting all of this are the electric blue accents on the small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock and the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, matching the driver's uniform. For readability, the dial also features black PVD hour and minute hands filled with blue luminescent Superluminova.
The Bremont Supermarine WR-22 Chronograph's case follows in the footsteps of last year's Bremont S302, featuring the brand's Trip-Tick construction and a scratch-resistant PVD-treated 43mm stainless steel construction in the middle of the case. On top of that, the case offers a bi-directional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert adorned with a tachymeter scale perfect for the track. Downward-facing lugs allow the imposing diameter and 15.8mm height to fit elegantly on the wrist, which helps with the choice of a stainless steel bracelet or a black nubuck leather strap. The chronograph also features a sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, two screw-down chronograph pushers and 200m water resistance.

Flip the Bremont Supermarine WR-22 chronograph over and you can admire the modified Calibre 13 ¼''' BE-53AE self-winding movement through the sapphire crystal caseback. This chronometer movement features a custom-decorated rotor engraved with the Williams Team logo and unique cutout detailing reminiscent of the shape of a car tire rim. Equipped with a Glucydur balance wheel, Anachron balance spring and Nivaflex mainspring, the movement has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 42 hours.
In addition to the Bremont Supermarine WR-22 Chronograph, the British watchmaker has also launched a limited-edition package of 45 that includes two watches and a racing experience. The two watches include the FW44 Chrono and the FW44 Classic, the former being essentially a black PVD version of the aforementioned WR-22 Chronograph, with the same specs, case size and movement. The latter is a 40mm chronograph with a satin-finished steel case, blue nubuck leather strap, 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal and a dark "Oxford Blue" dial. The centre trim continues the racing team livery with a red second hand and a subtle yellow 60-minute marker. Powering the Bremont FW44 Classic is the BE-92AV chronometer-grade self-winding movement with a 38-hour power reserve.
With every Bremont Williams racing package purchase, you'll also receive a once-in-a-lifetime "race day" experience at the Grove, the home of Williams Racing. You'll learn all about the team's history on a guided tour of the team's headquarters and the Williams Racing Museum. Afterwards, you will be able to see the 'Mission Control' room, where the UK-based technical team sees Grand Prix race metrics in real-time and is in constant contact with the team at each race venue, supporting drivers and pit crews. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a must for any Williams or Bremont fan.
