DESCRIPTION

Boxed and unworn watch number 1 of 272 signed by Stirling Moss.

The Moss 722 chronograph celebrates the amazing Moss/Jenkinson Mille Miglia victory on May 1st 1955. With Denis Jenkinson navigating with 'the bog roll' and Stirling Moss at the wheel the pair averaged just under 100mph for ten+ hours on Italian public roads. This was without doubt one of Stirling's most memorable drives piloting the awesome Mercedes 300SLR through the adrenalin packed 1000 km to victory in record time. A world wide edition of just 722 Chronographs was created and each dial was hand signed by Stirling Moss.

The watch is in an original presentation display box which is also signed and numbered by Sir Stirling Moss. Finished in polished German stainless steel each watch comes with 3 Austrian high-quality leather straps complete with strap change tool. The movement is the renowned Swiss Valjoux ETA 7750 Chronograph movement with a quick change calendar, and is water resistant to 5atm. The face glass is Italian Sapphire.

The rear case is Italian sapphire glass allowing a view of the movement and contained within is a small part of Stirling's last ever race suit.
