The Swiss premium watch maker Cuervo y Sobrinos sponsored the Tour de EspaÑa, the most important classic automobile rally in Southern Europe, staged in AndalucÍa.
The race started in Jerez and ended in Malaga, passing through Ronda, Marbella, Antequera and Granada. The one hundred participants, from all five continents, travelled some 1,500 km, competing in 14 special mountain time-trials and three races on the Jerez, Ascari-Ronda and Guadix circuits.
The list of participant cars represented a gathering of prestigious models such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia, Aston Martin, Porsche and Jaguar, turning the competition into a ‘catwalk’ of value beyond calculation.
The major innovation this year was the inclusion of pre-war racing cars manufactured prior to 1945 which competed in an exclusive category of their own.
Cuervo y Sobrinos was once again represented in the rally by a 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint driven by the company’s president, owner Marzio Villa.
Cuervo y Sobrinos, luxury brand sponsor of the Tour de EspaÑa presented each of the drivers with one of its exquisite watches, a unique piece created especially for the event. These were Solo Tempo Data models from the Torpedo range which reproduces the spokes of the wheels in the base of the casing, the pedal design on the bevel and the TDE logo on the dial face. This is a limited edition of 200.
Cuervo y Sobrinos has also created another commemorative model for the Tour de EspaÑa, a Torpedo chronograph in a limited edition of 200.
