The Watch
In 2009, Graham sponsored the BrawnGP F1 Team. Upon sale by Ross Brawn to Mercedes, the legendary watch brand and renowned car maker came hand in hand to collaborate on this spectacular timepiece.
Bold, brash and fearless - the Graham Mercedes Trackmaster is a watch built with one thing in mind: the circuit. A wet weather tyre tread strap, carbon fibre dial and stainless steel case all make for a sleek, race-ready feel, with green and white colour detailing inspired by the F1 team’s colour scheme. The watch dial also features a half-hour and second counter Chronograph, with a date window sitting alongside the Mercedes branding at 7 o’clock on the dial. It’s all completed with bold branding and a sapphire crystal cover.

On the rear, the 27-jewel movement is clear to see, covered in sapphire crystal and branded with the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team logo.
All of this is presented in full working order and in excellent condition throughout. We can discern a few marks on the steel casing, but these are very light and don’t detract from the overall condition. The glass work is crystal-clear and well presented, while the thick wet-weather tyre strap is in good, clean order.
This watch is no longer manufactured, and thanks to its exclusive racing connection, has become a highly desirable model.
