Take a handful of the world’s most capable drivers, equip them with purpose-built, V8-powered sports cars, unleash them around North America’s finest road courses and see what transpires. That’s exactly what happened in the almost-mythical and much-lamented Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) in the second half of the 1960s and first half of the ’70s.
Omologato have captured this epic era of unrestricted racing with a period timepiece inspired by elements and colours from the famous Can-Am race cars. The dial colours of this Can-Am watch come from the McLaren and Lola race cars and the digit are styled to replicate the font of the numbers used on the side of the cars.
The back of this Can-Am watch is engraved with the simple words #FEVER as a tribute to Henry Hope-Frost who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in March 2018. He made this hashtag famous in both his social media posts and even in conversation. Henry loved the Can-Am® and indeed wore the prototype to most events in late 2017.
The Can-Am is limited to 200 individually numbered pieces.
