A truly unique race

Depancel expands its motorsport-inspired lineup with a striking limited edition dedicated to the legendary 24-hour endurance race, Les 2 Tours d'Horloge. 

 

Blending vintage racing heritage with clever complications, this timepiece captures the relentless spirit of the track.

Les 2 Tours d'Horloge

Created in 1992 by Éric Van de Vyver, the 2 Tours d’Horloge is considered unique worldwide: a non-stop 24-hour race reserved for historic racing cars.

GTs, Touring Cars, Sport Prototypes and Sports 2000 compete at Circuit Paul Ricard in a true endurance race, shaped by driver changes, strategy, mechanical demands and the unique atmosphere of racing through the night.

 

A dial set to the rhythm of the 2 tours

The dial of this edition retains the play of textures and contrasts that defines the Autosport, combining brushed sectors, guilloché subdials and a peripheral minute track.

At 3 o’clock, the subdial features a dual scale, from 1 to 12 and then 13 to 24, designed to track the hours elapsed during the race.

At the end of each full hour, a press of the pusher advances the hand, allowing the time spent on track to be followed. Outside the race, the 1-to-12 scale returns to its calendar function and indicates the month.

At 9 o’clock, the day-of-the-week subdial highlights Saturday and Sunday in yellow, a reference to the two days of racing at the 2 Tours d’Horloge.

A case designed down to the smallest detail

The Autosport features a 39 mm stainless steel case with pure lines and meticulous finishes. Its polished bezel contrasts subtly with the circular brushing of the lugs, while the sides feature horizontal brushing and polished upper edges.
