The Watch

The Cuervo y Sobrinos Gran Premio de Cuba 1960 watch makes a bold statement with its sporting yet elegant presence. This is the specific 1960 edition from a collection of three limited editions inspired by the Formula 1 Grand Prix races held in Cuba in 1957, 1958, and 1960. Each watch in the collection pays tribute to one of those races, and the colors of each model are drawn from the official poster of the corresponding Grand Prix. Built around a round stainless steel case, it features a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 15.25 mm, ensuring a confident yet comfortable presence on the wrist. The case is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance and enhanced with an anti-reflective coating. The caseback is secured with screws and is transparent, offering a captivating view of the mechanical heart within. This limited edition is produced in only 202 pieces, a number that directly references the distance in miles covered during this legendary race.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a masterclass in dynamic elegance and legibility. Its white background serves as the perfect canvas for its carefully crafted details. The three red sub-dials are as eye-catching as they are functional, adding depth and making the chronograph readings - including the 12-hour, 30-minute, and small seconds counters - easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals are thoughtfully positioned around the dial for effortless time reading. Luminescent hands ensure the wearer can read the time even in low-light conditions. The domed sapphire crystal, fitted with an anti-reflective coating, enhances clarity and scratch resistance for a crystal-clear view of every refined detail.

The Movement

This exceptional timepiece is powered by an ETA Valjoux 7750 caliber, a Swiss-made automatic mechanical movement recognized worldwide for its robustness and precision. The mechanism beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivering outstanding timekeeping accuracy. Its rotor, visible through the transparent caseback, is specially sculpted in the shape of a vintage racing car steering wheel, reinforcing the mechanical spirit of the piece. This high-performance engine offers a power reserve of 48 hours for excellent day-to-day autonomy.

The Strap

The calfskin leather strap adds a touch of luxury that perfectly complements the watch's rugged yet refined look. Its classic black color is elevated by red stitching that creates striking contrast and visual appeal, nodding to the model's sporting soul. The leather texture is supple, ensuring wrist comfort even during extended wear. Fitted with a deployant clasp, the strap balances security with ease of use - easy to put on, easy to take off.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 ATM, this watch is built to be a reliable companion for everyday activities - no need to worry about splashes or light rain exposure. While not designed for diving, it's sturdy enough to handle handwashing and unexpected rainy days, delivering the kind of durability that matches its other features.
