"An icon of British sports, Spencer Gore captivated tennis audiences, and so much was his talent that he became the first ever Wimbledon champion in 1877.With its unique rectangular case, the Gamages Of London Limited Edition Hand Assembled Magnitude Automatic Steel menÕs watch celebrates such success.
It boasts a hand-assembled 163 part 20 jewel automatic movement and Day, Date, Month, and 24 Hour Functions that encompass the fine precision demanded of centre court success.
The stainless steel strap is representative of the trophy presented to Gore after the initial final, taking 48 minutes to emerge victorious over William Marshall, while the Lincoln green dial completes the timepiece.
The skeleton caseback gives you a window into the machinations of the watch, and the steel bracelet with Gamages logo finalises the iconic appearance, making it suitable for elegant competition that Gore sought to discover throughout his life.
