Col&MacArthur puts Spa-Francorchamps asphalt on the wrist

Belgian maker Col&MacArthur has turned physical pieces of Spa-Francorchamps into the Francorchamps 1921 Automatic. The dial is cut from circuit asphalt, while material from the kerbs forms the red chronograph counters. Steel recovered from the former Uniroyal Tower is used for the pushers. The initials of famous corners and the circuit’s three sectors appear around the dial, and the track layout is reproduced on the sapphire caseback.

The 41mm titanium chronograph uses the automatic Sellita SW500, running at 4Hz with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres. The automatic edition is limited to 500 individually numbered pieces and is listed at €2,949, with delivery estimated for December 2026. Col&MacArthur says each watch is assembled in its Belgian workshop.
