Ferro Distinct 3 Watches

We’re not going to lie, watches that have an automobile-style aesthetic are typically the sort that we find ourselves gravitating towards here at The Coolector and, you can rest assured, this is even more the case when they look as fantastic as the Distinct 3 Collection of watches from Ferro & Company. Thes unique one-hand classic watches take their design inspiration from perhaps the most legendary car race in the world, Le Mans.

With prices starting at a pleasingly affordable $455 (going up to $3900 for the limited edition 18k gold edition), the Distinct 3 Watches from Ferro are some of the classiest looking timepieces you’ll encounter in 2023. The smell of burning tires. The smell of gasoline. And the adrenaline going through the driver’s veins – these are all things synonymous with Le Mans and served as the catalyst for the creation of these great-looking timepieces.

These watches really are distinct, hence the name, as they are influenced by Classic Le Mans, the prestigious vintage race that evokes images of intense excitement and unparalleled thrills. It doesn’t get more adrenaline-inducing than the action-packed chaos of this legendary endurance race, which is held annually near the historic and beautiful town of Le Mans in France.

The stand out design feature of the Distinct 3 is the fact it is a single-hand watch, which is again inspired by the legendary race, and each one has been carefully engineered to perfection. As a result, everything about this devilishly dapper timepiece is flawless, from its design and high-quality components made of top-class materials to its thorough specifications and precise and fool-proof movements that won’t let you down wherever your adventures take you.

With this timeless and classy collection of watches from Ferro & Company, you can take your pick from Swiss Quartz and Japan Automatic movements as the Distinct 3.0 leverages the power of these precise movements that last a very long time. The Distinct 3 truly does showcase the built-to-last fortitude relentlessly tested in the Le Mans Race.

How do you tell the time on a watch that only has one hand? Well, it’s a lot more straightforward than you might imagine. The 12-hour dial is divided by 144 marks. Each mark represents 5 minutes. The bold 15, 30 and 45-minute marks and the prominent needle pointer make it easy to read the time. See the example below to see how easy it is:

There are loads of impressive design features to appreciate with the Distinct 3 Collection which helps set them apart from the competition and make their sub-$500 price tag all the more eye-catching. Some of the stand-out characteristics of these ace watches from Ferro & Company include an Italian perforated leather strap (or nylon racing style straps), a 100m water-resistance, sapphire crystal casing and a wonderfully lightweight feel on the wrist – the Distinct 3 weighs in at just 75g (or 81g for the Automatic, Limited Edition version).
