Six Nations rugby kicks off this weekend, and every match played at England’s home ground of Twickenham will be officially timed by Bremont.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The British watchmakers has signed a five year deal with England Rugby, and will provide all the stadium\u2019s official time-related match day content including branded match clocks around the iconic ground.<\/p>\n

England’s first home game is against Ireland on February 23.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, Bremont has unveiled the Bremont Rose, a special edition of its ALT1-C chronograph.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The white-dialed brushed steel watch has two sub-dials embossed with the English rose that appears on the national team’s shirts.<\/p>\n

It has blued hours and minutes hands and a red chronograph hand.<\/p>\n

It can be bought with a steel bracelet for \u00a35,395 or blue leather strap for \u00a34,995.<\/p>\n

Its clear caseback has the words \u2018swing low\u2019, in tribute to the England rugby fan’s anthem, on the custom rotor underneath an engraving of the England Rose.<\/p>\n

The watch comes in a special leather wallet with blue and red stitch also featuring an embossing of the rose.<\/p>\n

Eddie Jones, England head coach says: \u201cTiming is key in rugby, so it\u2019s great to have Bremont on board with England Rugby, supporting the game as the Official Timekeeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the chance to support another English institution, particularly in the run up to the RFU\u2019s 150th anniversary in 2021,” says Giles English, co-founder of Bremont.<\/p>\n

“Rugby is an incredibly tough sport, steeped in English tradition. Seeing Bremont timekeeping preside over the action at the iconic home of British Rugby, Twickenham, is something rather special.\u201d<\/p>\n
