C70 VW4 Chronometer - Ltd Ed

Product Description

The C70 VW4 Chronometer has been inspired by the 1957 victory at Aintree of the Vanwall VW4 racing car that started with Tony Brooks behind the wheel & took the chequered flag with Stirling Moss in the driver's seat. This was the first time a World Championship Grand Prix race had been won in Britain by a British car, driven by British drivers. As the Vanwall cars were constructed in Maidenhead, the home of Christopher Ward, the astonishing story of how this British team fought off & beat the then all-conquering Ferrari's is particularly close to us, & we felt an overwhelming need to create a watch of equal style & panache to celebrate the achievement. The movement, a rare chronometer version of Eta's superb 251 calibre movement, sets the bar very high for yet another signature motor racing watch from the CW design studio. The Number 20 of the winning car occupies the 12 position on the face, while the 18 of the second machine is highlighted in Vanwall's trim colour of yellow on the bezel. Moss's astonishing 90.61mph best average lap speed is picked out in red on the tachymeter. The reverse of the watch enshrines the British achievement with a deep-etched engraving. The C70 VW4 Chronometer is available in a limited edition of just 1, 957 models.
