Christopher Ward C70 DBR1 COSC Special Edition Watch With SuperQuartz Movement
1959 Aston Martin DBR1There's a lot of overlap between watch folks and Aston Martin fans. I'm an amateur with cars, but even I've seen enough of the Bond franchise to appreciate a vintage Aston Martin. This car is a DBR1/2 that won LeMans in 1959.
