A watch crafted in tribute to racing heroes, with a tachymeter bezel, five dial designs, and straps in three styles and 18 colors. The 1962 Racing Chronograph echoes the best elements of the chronographs worn a half-century ago by tough, no-nonsense racing drivers, when raw talent and sheer courage were the true measures of success on great motorsports circuits from Le Mans to Silverstone, from Spa to Watkins Glen. The Dan Henry 1962 highlights the best elements of the classic chronographs of the era – first on the track, and later on the moon. – DH
