From the cooperation between the sports car brand Aston Martin and the watch manufacturer Girard-Perregaux reaches us the new Laureato Chronograph in the Aston Martin Edition. For the dial’s color scheme, the Swiss watch brand clearly took its cue from the legendary colors given to racing teams in the early 1900s, depending on their country of origin. Aston Martin, as a British team, would have been given a rich dark green back then, the well known “British Racing Green”. However, Aston Martin’s first international races with the factory team date from after World War 2. Nevertheless, green was chosen as the paint color for the DBR1, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959. The British company’s current Formula 1 race car also features this color. In keeping with this, the dial is also painted in “Aston Martin Green”, a seven-layer lacquer that is painstakingly applied by hand. This is complemented by cross-hatching, as found on the first AM logo from 1921 to 1926.<\/p>\n\n\n
