Note: The Debaufre Le Mans red timepiece was presented to the winners of the SPEED World Challenge GT and Touring Car race at Sebring Raceway in March 2009. The SCCA president officially presented the watch to Seth Thomas and Tony Rivera during the traditional post-race podium celebration.

This is the 44-mm Red Le Mans watch with a stainless steel case and an invigorating red dial with white / green stripes. The stitching on the 24-mm leather strap matches the white stripe on the dial and the strap is attached with a special screw. There is even a red strap loop to match the red dial.

A special strap tool will be included with every order. This is a very unique watch with a comfortable crown and a large exhibition case-back window to admire the Swiss Unitas Movement.

Le Mans Operating Instructions:
Everything begins with the crown, which is located on the right side of the watch at the 3pm position. The crown is already in the 1st Position, which is where you "hand-wind" or "charge" your watch, which is very important since the Le Mans watch is a hand-wind model which requires winding every few days to operate.

1st Position - Wind The Watch:
In the 1st Position turn the crown clockwise 25 to 30 turns. This is called "winding the watch". You probably want to do this once every few days, just to make sure your watch is wound and runs smoothly.

2nd Position - Change The Time:
Gently pull out the crown to the 2nd Position to set the time. Once the crown is in the 2nd Position, you can change the time by moving the crown clockwise (we do not recommend setting the time backwards).

When you are done setting the time, push the crown back to its original position. This is important, otherwise the watch won't run and water or humidity might get into the watch.

Once the watch has been wound, it will run even if you remove it from your wrist. Of course after a while, the spring that you wound by hand-winding the crown will be unwound and the watch will stop. This will cause you to repeat the steps outlined above to once again get it running smoothly and accurately.
