Shinola Canfield Speedway 44mm Automatic Chronograph

Excellence is a journey, not a destination. The Canfield Speedway 44mm Automatic Chronograph Watch from the guys at Shinola is a testament to that fact. It is directly inspired by master mechanics who pushed performance to the limit. This limited-edition timepiece from the Detroit watchmaker boasts a tachymeter, which converts time elapsed into speed travelled, so you can track your progress as you strive for excellence.

Available for $3000, the Shinola Canfield Speedway 44mm Automatic Chronograph Watch obviously represents a hefty investment but if you’re big into your timepieces and have an affinity for all things motorsport, it is an investment worth making. The 44mm polished stainless steel case has a heavy coin edge and striking anodised aluminium collars on the pushbuttons. The full exhibition caseback allows you to see the customized Sellita movement at work and it’s a real sight to behold.

Two sub-dials, styled after two-tone wheel designs, punctuate the matte velvet pea gravel green dial of this high-octane yet devilishly dapper timepiece from Shinola. The perforated leather strap in bourbon is the perfect complement to this hotrod, and it has been designed to look just like a pair of racing gloves. Shinola’s commitment to improvement is never-ending. They believe that excellence is a journey, not a destination and that shines through with pieces like the Canfield Speedway 44mm Automatic Chronograph.

The Swiss-made Sellita SW510 BH movement within this classy offering from Shinola is a powerful engine that doesn’t just keep up with the competition, it sets the pace. With 27 jewels and a minimum 56-hour power reserve, it really is built to last. The full exhibition case back window allows you to admire the custom checkered flag design aesthetic on the rotor and this is definitely one of the best-looking watches Shinola has released to date.
