This TW Steel Nigel Mansell Chronograph is dedicated to one of the most legendary British Formula 1 racing drivers: Nigel Mansell. He is actually one of the most respected and beloved former racing drivers in Formula 1, known for his fearless passion, victories in the world of car racing, and a big moustache.

Born on August 8, 1953, he is always remembered as a desirous, dedicated and captivating person both on and off the racing track. He began his career at a very young age and by the time his skills in car racing were recognized, he got a reputation as one of the fastest drivers of his time. In 1985, he earned his first Formula 1 victory at the European Grand Prix, in 1992 he became World Champion Formula One. For sure this man deserves a watch bearing his name.

The TW Steel Nigel Mansell Chronograph has a Seiko quartz with mechanical chronograph

Mansell became world champion in a blue-yellow Williams-Renault FW14B with number 5 – a number which is clearly visible in red on the dial of the TW Steel Nigel Mansell Chronograph. So yes, the watch takes its inspiration by the Mansell’s glorious 1992 F1 season. It is housed in a 45-millimeter 316 stainless steel case, with a black satin dial displaying striking blue and yellow bright colors. There is a tachymeter on the bezel, with a maximum speed of 240 kilometers per hour, which is by far not enough to measure Mansell’s speeds at the time. Slip of the pen by the designer of the model…

The watch is equipped with a Seiko caliber VK63 quartz with mechanical chronograph and has a battery life of 3 years. You can get the model with a blue or a yellow rubber strap.
