The Lance Armstrong watch collection reflects a strong preference for professional sports watches, particularly chronographs, travel watches and substantial tool-watch designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former professional cyclist has been photographed wearing several Rolex models, including the Cosmograph Daytona, GMT-Master II and Rolex Deepsea. He has also appeared with a Panerai Luminor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most personal watch associated with Armstrong, however, is not a standard-production model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Artisans de Gen\u00e8ve Armstrong Challenge began as a stainless-steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116520. At Armstrong\u2019s request, the watch was transformed through extensive skeletonization, a manually wound movement, a vintage-inspired pulsations scale and a bespoke black-and-yellow Rubber B strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The completed watch connects traditional chronograph design with the measurements, colors and mechanical character associated with professional cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Armstrong Challenge was independently personalized at the request of the watch\u2019s owner. Artisans de Gen\u00e8ve and Rubber B are independent companies and are not affiliated with, sponsored by, authorized by or endorsed by Rolex SA.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
