The young French driver, who has recently signed with the American team MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, has chosen the Bianchet style—on the track, in the city, or while traveling—for its tourbillon watches that are both sporty and elegant.

But also elegance! Passionate in life as he is in motorsport, Esteban Ocon, who instantly identified with the aesthetics and engineering of Bianchet watches was immediately spotted wearing the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT at the prestigious "F1 75 Live" gala in London last February — an iconic event celebrating 75 years of Formula 1 and the opening of the 2025 season. A historic occasion where enthusiasts gathered to discover the cars and drivers that will define the new season.
