If you’re a fan of either James Hunt or the movie Rush, this new affordably priced Omologato should peak your interest. The time piece embraces the defunct Hesketh Racing F1 team, complete with helmeted cartoon bear logo. It is a 45.5mm face, quartz powered, with steel body and leather band. Though affordable by most watch standards, it is still a limited edition with just 200 to be made.
Anti-establishment. Unconventional. Independent. Partial to champagne-fuelled shenanigans. Hesketh Racing – and their maverick driver James Hunt – were all of these things and more. But on an incredible day at Zandvoort in 1975 they also became Grand Prix winners. 40 years on, we remember one of F1 racing’s greatest underdog victories…
This watch is inspired by their playful logo and the undoubtedly Britishness of everything they stood for. Sold under licence by Retro Formula 1 Ltd.
