Introducing the Longines Master Collection Chronograph “Kentucky Derby”

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of a historic race at the Kentucky Derby, Longines, the official timekeeper for the prestigious American horse race, has designed a limited edition wristwatch. The watch merges sportiness and elegance by using the slim Master Collection Chronograph as the base, and adding new design elements in a stylish combination of gold and blue.

Back in 1973, the legendary racehorse Secretariat, also known as “Big Red,” set a new record for the fastest time in the history of the Kentucky Derby, a record that remains unbroken to this day. With a total of 16 victories in its short 16-month career, Secretariat achieved celebrity status and is widely considered the greatest horse of the second half of the 20th century.
