Made from carbon fiber, titanium, and rubber, it’s the quintessential racing watch.
Thirty years after his death in May 1994 during the San Marino Grand Prix, Brazilian Ayrton Senna remains the F1 driver’s F1 driver and a god to his fans. Winner of an epic 41 individual races and three F1 Championships, Senna was the poster boy for the sport at a time when modern technology in the cars was fast transforming the science of driving, er, fast.
It’s also a tourbillon, elevating it far above the fray of run-of-the-mill racing chronographs. The watch is 44mm in diameter and driven by an in-house TH20-09 Caliber movement. On the dial, the accents echo Williams’s yellow, white, and blue color scheme. Considering the rubber strap and the fact that titanium and carbon fiber are as familiar in Formula 1 as they are in watchmaking, one could easily make the argument that this is the quintessential—albeit rarefied—racing watch.
