Camel Trophy Green Belt 555.415 – Date – Swiss ETA Movement - Unisex - 1980-1989

The Camel Trophy Green Belt 555.415 is more than just a watch; it is a tribute to an era of adventure, precision, and robust design.

Originating from the legendary Camel Trophy expeditions that took place with Land Rover at the end of the 1970s and the early 1980s, the design of the watch line began in 1986. The first models quickly appeared on the market. The beating heart of this piece is the well-renowned ETA 555.415 quartz movement. This watch was designed based on insights from Camel Trophy participants, and it is built to withstand even the harshest conditions.

The Camel Trophy watches were aimed at young people with an adventurous lifestyle. The logo and appearance had to convey strength and endurance. And of course, with a reference to the heavy Camel Trophy rallies that, from the 1980s to the late 1990s, traversed the most rugged and inaccessible areas of the world.

This example features a black dial, a brass diver's bezel, and is mounted on the original brown leather strap with Camel Trophy imprint. And this example is perhaps one of the watches from the first series of Camel Trophy watches. The Camel Trophy logo is painted in color on the dial, whereas later models had a relief Camel Trophy logo.
