    The 1960 Racing is a tribute to generations of motorsport horology, evoking memories of Audi Sport, Porsche, McLaren, and Shelby Cobra — all icons of the same era.

    The design strikes a balance between aesthetic vintage details, Bauhaus lines from the 1980s, and modern technology, coming together in a 40mm sports chronograph complete with a tachymeter, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and a 316L surgical-grade stainless steel case.

    The history behind 1960 Racing

    The 1960s was the first real golden age of car racing. In 1960 Ferrari dominated the scene at Le Mans with manufacturers such as Maserati and Porsche in the peloton as well while Cooper and Lotus were at the top of Formula 1. It was also the year when Mickey Thompson became the first person to exceed 400 mph in a race car; the Challenger 1.

    Motor Racing has always been one of the most important industries for the development of wrist watches, giving the drivers the ability to time their own laps with Heuer on the forefront. In 1960 Heuer celebrated the 100th year of the invention of the stopwatch, with a brand new line of stopwatches on wrist straps, making it easier to wear for race drivers, referees and coaches as well as military personnel.

    IN DEPTH WITH THE 1960 RACING

    The new 1960 racing is a chronograph watch with all the benefits that type of watch offers. It is equipped with three sub dials, showing twentieth seconds for accurate timing of track-laps on the right, minutes on the left, and running seconds in the middle. The watch is powered by a Japanese made Miyota movement, that is widely known for their durability and reliability.

    Besides timing your Nürburgring laps and average speed, a chronograph is great for many daily-base tasks such as timing your eggs, your interval training or how long your keynote speech have lasted. It is the most accurate timing device in our line up, letting you make timings not only to the second but to one twentieth of a second, for when time really matters.
