From the manufacturer:
BRM Chronographes and Corvette® have developed new timepieces honoring one of Chevrolet's® most valuable vintage cars, the Grand Sport. Licensed by General Motors, the Corvette® Vintage Grand Sport series launches the next collaboration between BRM and the motorsports icon, following the Corvette® C7.R Racing Collection and the special '100 Wins' watch recognizing the team's 2016 milestone. Releasing two uniquely customized timepieces, BRM crafted both chronograph-automatic and automatic models for the Corvette® Vintage Grand Sport Collection. The 46mm watches are designed around a case made from one single block of aluminum, reflecting the car's original chassis, and the strap is composed of the alcantara material that comprised the steering wheel. In addition, the traditional "12" transfer at the top of the dial bears the number "2" instead, highlighting the significance of Grand Sport 002 and the car's prominence among second-generation Corvettes. Other signature features include textured dials in "paillete blue" with white stripes, as well as logo engraving on the dial and crown.
