The Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna timepiece has been launched by the brand as a limited-edition model that pays homage to Formula 1 racing legend Ayrton Senna. The watch is arriving to coincide with the upcoming release of the Senna series that's headed to Netflix on November 29, 2024 and is limited to just 500 examples.
The watch features a 44mm case crafted out of high-grade titanium along with a fixed forged carbon bezel inscribed with Senna's name. The watch puts the Calibre TH20-09 movement in the spotlight, which is visible on the rear thanks to a sapphire crystal backing and accented by the image of Senna's helmet inside.
CEO Antoine Pin commented on the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna timepiece saying, "With this launch, we celebrate Senna’s spirit and inspire future champions. This timepiece embodies the passion and precision that defined his journey."
