CAR2A12.FT6033
Selfridges / London 24th November 2016
Limited to just 1974 pieces these are getting a little bit scarce now, and it's not hard to see why. The panda dial looks great and the orange highlights really give the watch that little something extra. I am a recent convert to these tyre tread straps as well and this one is the perfect choice for this particular piece.
As you'd expect with the Calibre 1887 this piece has a display back, which looks great and nice to see that they didn't feel the need to cover half the crystal back with a McLaren logo (see the Nismo Carrera for exactly how not to do it!). Similarly the dial is completely free of any mention of McLaren, with the discreet but cool orange text on the bezel the only indicator that this is something special.
I really like this watch, but the price is a bit of a turn off. At £4150 this is serious money, and puts it alongside the Heuer 01 (which to me is a bit much really). Nevertheless, I will be keeping my eye on this one when it comes on the second hand market and hoping (probably rather optimistically) that it might, maybe, possibly turn up in the TAG Boutiques?
