Steinhart Le Mans GT Heritage Chronograph new
Steinhart Watches designs have always covered a wide range of styles, from divers to military to racing and more. Recently the popular brand released a new, limited edition model in their racing line that plays homage to the 24 Heures du Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans in English), the oldest active endurance sports car race.The Le Mans GT Heritage Chrono is a limited edition watch of 111 pieces.
