There’s value in the craftsmanship of a watch, in the model, the brand, its heritage, and legacy. But beyond that, every single watch carries its own story. The story of its owner, and the moments it has witnessed while on the wrist. Today is just a moment — one photo, one snapshot in time. This is the story of the Lemania 105, on the wrist of Paul-Henri Cahier at Le Mans 1966.

In the hunt for the ultimate timepiece we sometimes find related accessories. This time, a mysterious artifact, a banner flag that clearly mentioned Omega but gave zero results on the world wide web.

As a real internet Indiana Jones I traveled far and back but never found it's original heritage. Until I found a magazine covering Omega from 1957. As I flipped through the pages I noticed a familiar name; Andorra Ralley Turistico.

Collecting vintage timepieces isn’t just about the watch — it’s about what it represents. A small object that captures a moment in time, a feeling like the thunder of a V12 behind your back as you go flat-out through Eau Rouge.

This is a nostalgic ride through watches used in racing as they were meant to be used, on the wrists of drivers, pit crews, and timekeepers — from the 1930s to the 1970s.
