Detailed Description
An authentic Camel Trophy 2000 watch with manual wind: this timepiece celebrates the final edition of the legendary Camel Trophy rally raid, which concluded in 2000 after two decades of extreme adventures across the most rugged territories on the planet. A historic piece that marks the end of an era in the world of extreme off-road.

The case is made of metal alloy with a two-tone finish of antique bronze/gold, giving it a vintage adventure look, perfect to evoke the rugged aesthetic of the Camel Trophy. The press-in steel case back features engravings with the watch's technical specifications.
The strap is made of light brown / cognac aged leather with contrasting stitching, giving it the authenticity of a dispatch watch. The buckle features a decorative plate engraved with the inscription "STOP AF 2000."
