The 540K cars were directly descended from the SSK, and link they follow link the same design playbook link – an elongated hood hiding a straight-8 engine, room for two (just) and swooping fenders running the length of the car that make it look as if it's doing an easy 100 mph when it's standing still. Their owners were what Don Corleone would have called real 90 caliber pezzonovante – to name just one, Jack Warner bought a 540K Special Roadster in 1937, fresh from the Berlin Auto Show.
James has a history link with AP, as a one-time ambassador for the brand with limited editions in his name. Nowadays, he's a link watch free agent, able to wear everything from a coral dial Rolex OP to – well – this. And this is the kind of watch you wear when you break the NBA scoring record and link plan to shatter it in the future.
We're kicking off with four iconic watches (i.e. four separate videos) for your viewing pleasure. Below link you'll find 60-second snapshots on the Breitling Navitimer, Cartier Tank Solo, Bulgari Octo Finissimo Titanium, link and Rolex Explorer. We'll be launching two new Spec Sheet videos on HODINKEE every week, with a goal of cataloging every significant watch in the known universe. Ambitious, we know. We're taking link it one minute at a time.
I feel similarly about the "All-Stars" watches, as link the case and bezel design just feels a bit all over link the map. If link you're going to make a character watch, there's really no need to go overboard with the bezel and dial design as I think these did.
In one of my favorite watch-endorsement footnotes, a young Tiger Woods was briefly a Tudor ambassador back in link the 1990s. The most notable result of link their partnership was a line of "Tiger" chronographs. They were similar to Tudor's standard chronographs from the link time, but said "Tiger" on the dial and came in all kinds of colors (including a Masters-adjacent green). After spending most of the 2000s with TAG Heuer, Woods signed with Rolex in 2011.
