The Watch

Edox pays tribute to the legendary legacy of Juan Manuel Fangio with this stunning Swiss-made Sportsman Automatic - Tribute to Fangio watch. This timepiece channels a retro spirit with contemporary sophistication, housed in a round stainless steel case measuring 41 mm in diameter and 16.80 mm thick. Its commanding, elegant presence is reflected in a weight of 171 grams - a testament to Swiss watchmaking quality and solidity. The matte finishing is subtly worked to deliver a brushed/satin texture that adds a touch of timeless elegance. The sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance, is domed and benefits from an anti-reflective treatment for perfect legibility in any lighting. The caseback is transparent and screwed, allowing you to admire the movement safely. Every detail of this watch celebrates the genius of Fangio - from the signed dial to the special commemorative presentation box - extending the vibrant story of a champion. This is a limited edition of just 115 pieces, paying tribute to 115 years of Fangio's legacy.

The Dial

The dial features an exquisite matte finish that perfectly complements its delicate beige and off-white hue - an effortless embodiment of elegance and watchmaking precision. Arabic numerals are carefully positioned for optimal readability, while luminescent hands and indices ensure ideal visibility even in the dark. A symphony of complications unfolds across three sub-dials dedicated to 12-hour, 30-minute, and small seconds tracking. The dial also features a combined day and date window, offering unmatched convenience at a glance. And then there is the tachymeter scale - a subtle nod to motorsport mastery that measures speed with the precision of a racing legend. Signed by Fangio, this dial tells a story of greatness and glory, blending modern touches with a tribute to a golden era.

The Movement

At the heart of this timepiece beats the Edox 011 automatic movement, distinguished by its rigor and performance. Based on the acclaimed Sellita SW500, this caliber embodies Swiss precision with an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz), delivering remarkable fluidity and accuracy for watch enthusiasts. The 46-hour power reserve is a major asset, ensuring reliable timekeeping even after two days off the wrist. The calendar complications seamlessly integrate chronograph, date, and day functions, enabling simple, intuitive daily interaction via two pushers and an ingeniously designed crown.

The Bracelet

This limited edition comes with two bracelet options that underscore its unique character. The stainless steel bracelet with a grey milanese mesh finish gives the watch a modern, luxurious look, with a deployment clasp for top-tier comfort and security. In contrast, the brown bovine leather strap, with its distinctive perforations and contrast stitching, brings a classic sophistication steeped in motorsport heritage. A standard 20 mm lug width - perfect for the detail-conscious collector.

Water Resistance

The technical performance of this watch is equally impressive, with water resistance rated to 30 ATM. Edox, a recognized pioneer in waterproof watchmaking, has developed a proprietary double crown sealing technology that delivers exceptional protection even under pressure.
