What’s going on?
The company Singer Vehicle Design is known worldwide for its classic reinterpretations of the Porsche 911. and for some years it has had a very exclusive manufacture of watches, which are manufactured with the same guidelines as the popular Porsche Singer, and its proposal is exclusive, different and interesting.
Let’s talk about the 100th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Singer recently teamed up with Tom Brady and Hertz and entered a Porsche 963 in the HyperCar Le Mans category. Singer, in addition to being an important sponsor of the team, presented a commemorative watch that will only manufacture 24 pieces and is called “Endurance Edition” and is based on the Singer Track 1 chronograph series.
Let’s talk about the Singer Track 1 watch
Finished in the same gold, red and white colors as the colors of the Hertz team Porsche 963.
The gold anodized titanium case and two white rotating ceramic discs show the time of day, a little further in there is a red ring, which is a tachymeter, which precedes a ring that indicates the minutes as the hand passes, and a little further in the center the The piece ends with another ring that marks us 24 hours a day, and that is used in combination with the small hand that allows us to have a second time zone.
Composed of 477 parts and 67 jewels, it is a stunning designer piece that looks both modern and classic.
The Porsche 963 HyperCar
The Porsche 963 that inspired this watch is powered by a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 based on the flat-crank unit of the Porsche 918 Spyder, and Porsche claims a power output of 680 horsepower. The German automaker hasn’t had the endurance racing success it had hoped for in the 2023 season, but all the teams involved in the Hypercar class of this year’s World Endurance Championship have had to adapt to completely new cars and rules.
As for the price of each of the 24 pieces -which are surely already sold- it is $77,000 thousand dollars or its equivalent in Mexican pesos at today’s exchange rate is $1,383,690 pesos (MXN).
