The Watch

The Cuervo y Sobrinos watch is a masterclass in Swiss watchmaking, where tradition meets innovation. Crafted for devotees of classic timepieces and motorsport history, these are limited editions inspired by the three legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix races held in Cuba in 1957, 1958, and 1960. The watch features a round case in stainless steel, giving it a look that is both robust and refined. With a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 15.25 mm, it sits elegantly on any men's wrist. The exhibition caseback, secured by screws, offers a captivating view of the inner mechanics, while the domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial in style. Swiss-made with pride, this piece carries the Limited Edition designation. This first edition is limited to just 162 pieces, a number directly inspired by the 162 miles covered during this legendary race, guaranteeing its authenticity, rarity, and exceptional quality.

The Dial

Each watch in the collection pays tribute to one of the three mythical Cuban Grand Prix races, with each dial's colors drawn directly from the official poster of the corresponding event. Warm brown defines this first edition, inspired by the original 1957 poster. It captures the spirit of the very first race run on the legendary Malecón with genuine emotion: a refined, adventurous, and unmistakably Cuban atmosphere. On this model, the dial stands out with a stunning combination of grey and brown, with subtle nuances that reveal themselves under different lighting angles. Arabic numerals make time reading effortless, complemented by luminescent hands for optimal visibility even in low light. The dial also features three sub-dials for the chronograph, elegantly positioned for perfect visual balance. A date window at 6 o'clock adds a practical touch to this refined design. The tachymeter scale on the dial's outer ring adds an extra dimension, enabling speed measurement.

The Movement

This prestigious timepiece is powered by an automatic Valjoux 7750 movement, renowned for its reliability and precision. This Swiss movement, beating at 28,800 A/h, displays hours, minutes, and seconds, while also incorporating a sophisticated chronograph. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the rotor has been specially sculpted in the shape of a vintage racing car's steering wheel, deepening the mechanical and historical spirit of this piece. With an impressive 48-hour power reserve, it offers exceptional autonomy, giving the wearer total peace of mind even after a period off the wrist. This technical achievement is backed by the mechanical robustness of the ETA Valjoux, making it an unimpeachable choice for connoisseurs of fine watch movements.

The Bracelet

The strap on this watch is crafted from black calfskin leather, delivering both comfort and sophistication. The mustard yellow stitching adds a dynamic, vibrant accent that contrasts beautifully with the understated black and echoes the iconic color palette of the 1957 poster. Fitted with a deployment clasp, it ensures a secure, easy-to-wear fit, making this exceptional strap as versatile as it is stylish — equally at home in formal or casual settings.

Water Resistance

This watch features 5 ATM water resistance, protecting it against pressure equivalent to immersion down to 50 meters — more than enough for everyday wear, showering, or getting caught in the rain. This rating ensures the watch stays fully protected against water infiltration, safeguarding its high-precision movement and extending the long-term life of the timepiece.
