YEMA Rallygraf "Mario Andretti", ref. 93016, circa 1968-70 Steel chronograph, signed black dial, fixed black bezel, tachometric scale, red stripes on left side, applied square hour-markers, permanent seconds counter at 9 o'clock, chronometer minutes counter at 3 o'clock, hand-wound mechanical movement, Valjoux caliber 7733, openworked black leather strap. D. 39 mm (Very good condition, bezel blocked, slight marks to case and crystal, a few scratches to case back, appears to be working, to be serviced) Our version equipped with a Valjoux 7733 appeared in 1968, with its two counters, red lines and checkered flags. It became a mythical model because it was worn by driver Mario Andretti during his victory at Indianapolis in 1969. So mythical that it has been reissued in a limited series in 2019 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Andretti's victory.
