AX J1749.1-2733 is an unclassified transient X-ray source discovered duringsurveys by ASCA in 1993-1999. A multi-wavelength study in NIR, optical, X-raysand hard X-rays is undertaken in order to determine its nature. AX J1749.1-2733is a new high-mass X-ray binary pulsar with an orbital period of 185.5+/-1.1 d(or 185.5/f with f=2,3 or 4) and a spin period of ~66 s, parameters typical ofa Be/X-ray binary. The outbursts last ~12 d. A spin-down of 0.08+/-0.02 s/yr isalso observed, very likely due to the propeller effect. The most accurate X-rayposition is R.A. (2000) =17h49m06.8s and Dec. = -27deg32'32".5 (unc. 2"). Thehigh-energy broad-band spectrum is well-fitted with an absorbed powerlaw and ahigh-energy cutoff with values NH=(20+/-1)e22 cm-2, Gamma=1.0+/-0.1, andEcut=21+/-3 keV. The only optical/NIR candidate counterpart within the X-rayerror circle has magnitudes of R=21.9+/-0.1, I=20.92+/-0.09, J=17.42+/-0.03,H=16.71+/-0.02, and Ks=15.75+/-0.07, which points towards a Be star located faraway (> 8.5 kpc) and highly absorbed (NH~1.7e22 cm-2). The average 22-50 keVluminosity is (0.4-0.9)e36 erg/s during the long outbursts and 3e36 erg/sduring the bright flare that occurred on MJD 52891 for an assumed distance of8.5 kpc.
