CAN-AM: A RACING CHRONOGRAPH FROM THE GOLDEN ERA OF MOTORSPORTS
Heritage-Inspired. Rugged. Assembled in Canada.
“We know how hard it is to find a watch with the right look, a solid build, and a fair price. That is why we started Redwood.”
The Redwood Brothers
Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!
September 1966, Saint-Jovite, Canada. One of the greatest racing series in the history of motorsports is about to begin. The ground shakes, the cars sound like warplanes. They are fast, brutal and dangerous. At the wheel, the best racers of the era are ready for a fight - Legends such as Surtees, Donohue, and McLaren.
Our inspiration for the Redwood Can-Am would go on to become the quintessential racing chronograph of the golden era of motorsports. Updated with modern materials and a high-precision quartz mechanical movement, it is ready to handle the heat of the race. A very capable tool watch in its own right, the Can-Am is a piece of racing history on your wrist.
BUILT FOR SPEED
Experience the precision, ruggedness, and reliability of the Seiko VK64 movement, a significant upgrade compared to traditional hand wound chronographs.
This hybrid meca-quartz movement seamlessly combines the unparalleled accuracy of quartz timekeeping with the mechanical finesse of a 5 Hz smooth sweeping seconds chronograph module.
In addition to a standard stopwatch function, the tachymeter scale on the perimeter of the dial makes it easy to measure average speed from 60 to 500 units per hour
HOW TO
MEASURE SPEED
PRESS START/STOP WHEN VEHICLE PASSES ZERO MARKER
PRESS START/STOP WHEN VEHICLE PASSES 1 MILE OR 1 KM MARKER
READ AVERAGE SPEED ON TACHYMETER SCALE (MI/H OR KM/H)
BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE
Crafted with unwavering dedication to the highly competitive racing ethos, the Redwood Can-Am chronographs are meticulously engineered to excel in even the harshest environments.
The Can-Am features a rugged, all-stainless case with a brushed finish and polished highlights. With a 40mm case diameter and 47mm length, it is true to period watches. The beefy lugs are drilled for convenient spring bar removal.
The Can-Am is also equipped with a highly scratch resistant sapphire glass - one of the hardest materials available. Its domed shape is a nod to the 60s sleek aesthetics but its 2.8mm thickness is designed to also withstand shock and strong hydrostatic pressure experienced underwater.
Our commitment to ruggedness extends to achieving a robust 100m/330ft of water resistance, thanks to the high-quality modern polymer seals equipping the crown, pushers, and screw-down case back.
BUILT FOR ENDURANCE
With its mesmerizingly powerful lume, the Can-Am ensures exceptional legibility under the most challenging conditions. Period chronographs used radioactive tritium to provide illumination, causing safety issue during operation and disposal. Redwood uses non-radioactive Super-LumiNova pigments, a major improvement over mid-century technology. The pigment appears white in daytime conditions and produces a strong greenish glow in low light after exposure to light or UV.
