Dragon RACED WATCHES - Omologato®

The watches that RACED at Le Mans

10 September 2020 – This years Le Mans 24 Hours endurance classic saw Omologato, makers of the world’s leading collection of motorsport-inspired timepieces and DragonSpeed team up to offer a unique promotion – and opportunity – for watch collectors. 

The Omologato “Dragon” chronograph has been produced in a limited edition of 50 to mark the fourth participation at Le Mans of DragonSpeed, which in 2019 became the first LMP2 team ever to win IMSA, WEC, and ELMS races in a single season. The bold design incorporates features reflecting Le Mans’ twice-round-the-clock challenge, including Super Luminova hands and a 24-hour sub-dial.

The DragonSpeed crew will install eight “LM Dragon” chronographs in the cockpit of its two LMP2 entries during the race, giving the watches the distinction of having been ‘raced’ at Le Mans. Following the race, 14 of the Raced Watches will be offered for sale at omologatowatches.com/dragonraced Each will be engraved on the back with the number and driver names of the car that carried it and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

The distinctive Omologato race-track logo will be featured on DragonSpeed’s pair of LMP2 Oreca O7-Gibson entries, as well as all six drivers. The team’s black number 21 machine will be piloted by Colombian great Juan Pablo Montoya, double-ELMS champion Memo Rojas, and France’s Timothé Buret, while the lineup for the white number 27 car is led by Henrik Hedman, supported by Ben Hanley (in his fourth straight Le Mans with the team) and IMSA ace Renger van der Zande.

Omologato founder Shami Kalra said, “I’m proud to launch this innovative promotion with DragonSpeed. When the team approached me with the idea, I saw its potential to capture the imagination of fans of Le Mans and the Omologato brand around the world. I wish the team the best of luck and look forward to a safe and exciting race – something we could do with in 2020!”
