The Roamer Stingray Chronograph isn’t a watch you hear talked about every day, but it’s perhaps the watch with the strongest racing pedigree. Björn Waldegård, winner of the inaugural World Rally Championship for Drivers in 1969, wore this chronograph while he raced, making the Stingray the first watch to ever pass the Rally Championship finish line. Waldegård was even featured in an advert for the Stingray.
Roamer watches was founded by Fritz Meyer in 1888 in Solothurn Switzerland. It originally concentrated on manufacturing cylinder escapements. Within seven years the company grew to 60 employees and started producing complete watches.
