S.O.E. Roadster historical watch is based on the true story of 3 famous race car drivers

Accessorize with your affinity for early 1900s history with the S.O.E. Roadster watch by Trafford Watch Co. The company places story above all else, with each watch focusing on a little-known true story from history. By pulling details from these stories, each watch’s design celebrates a moment in time worth remembering. The S.O.E. Roadster draws its inspiration from the true story of three famous race car drivers from the 1930s: William Grover-Williams, Jean-Pierre Wimille, and Robert Benoist. When the war hit, these three drivers answered Winston Churchill’s call and became spies for the British government. It’s a fascinating story that can be celebrated on your wrist in colors like British Racing Green, French Racing Blue, Midnight Black, and a Kickstarter-exclusive red version.
