Two well-known drivers will be wearing the new Coloseo Black Racing for a full-scale test during the most prestigious endurance car race in the world.
Behind the wheel in two different categories, Eric Van de Poele (Ferrari 430 No. 83 - Category LMGT2) and Didier Andre (Oreca AIM No. 6 - Category LMP1) will put the latest SAINT HONORE design through its paces on the track itself.
Between them they have taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours over fifteen times and both will once again strive to number this classic race in their record of achievements.
Initiated with Paul Belmondo, racing driver and ambassador for the watch brand, the SAINT HONORE saga at Le Mans 24 Hours is taking a new turn with, for the first time, the final tweaking of a watch under actual race conditions.
The Le Mans 24 Hours is universally acknowledged as one of the three most prestigious events in the car racing calendar, along with the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. Commonly known as the Grand Prix of Endurance, Le Mans deals in superlatives: a race dating back to 1923, a track nearly 14 kilometres long, over fifty cars and 150 drivers on the start line, more than five thousand kilometres driven in 24 hours by the winner, an average speed of 220 km/h and maximum speeds of more than 350 km/h
A chance for SAINT HONORE to prove the technical qualities of its chronographs during a legendary race.
