Mallard 70th Anniversary Chronograph

For locomotive enthusiasts there's only one engine that truly symbolises the unbridled power of steam – the legendary Mallard 4468! Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built at Doncaster's world-renowned railway yards, the Mallard first took to the rails on 3 March 1938. Its unorthodox shape was a design revolution, however it was its exceptional performance that soon became the Mallard's most famous characteristic.

Just four months after its first journey, the Mallard's speedometer reached 126 miles per hour and broke the world speed record for steam locomotion. This amazing feat has never been beaten – a fact that is celebrated in the exclusively handcrafted Mallard 70th Anniversary Chronograph. Strictly limited to just 4,999 worldwide, this outstanding men's timepiece hails seven unforgettable decades of Mallard speed supremacy between 1938 and 2008. It's impeccable rectangular design is rich in authentic 22-carat gold detail and features a unique graphic interpretation of the train's actual speed-record plaque, engraved on the reverse of the watch.
