Discover Löbner's Legacy Reborn: The Steelracer Speed Arrow Limited Edition Captures the Golden Era of Motorsport
Löbner, a brand renowned for mastering the art of precision timing in Prussian workshops since the 19th century, made its comeback in 2023 following a prolonged hiatus of nearly 80 years. Crafted from the roots of their illustrious history - from timing record-breaking feats on racetracks and Olympic events to crafting massive clocks capable of measuring thousandths of a second - Löbner has resurrected its legacy with the Steelracer Speed Arrow Limited Edition.
Epitomising the times when raw courage and speed records marked the essence of motorsport, the Steelracer Speed Arrow Limited edition is birthed as a deeply nostalgic tribute echoing Löbner’s past. This reincarnation of their chronograph watchmaking legacy encompasses the pinnacle of this rebirth.
The impressive Speed Arrow L.E. is yet another ode to the golden age of motorsport, graciously inspired by Rudolf Caracciola’s unbroken record of 432.7 km/h in the Mercedes W125 in the 1930s. The Speed Arrow L.E. adopts its name from the ‘Silberpfeile’ (Silver Arrows), dominating the Grand Prix circuits prior to the wars. Embodying this rich heritage, the raw, utilitarian charm of its 42.5mm stainless steel case echoes the brushed aluminium of the original Silver Arrow racers.
Despite its nod to the past, the Speed Arrow L.E. is not without its modern innovations. The water-resistant case dexterously integrates an engraved tachymeter bezel, subtly marked with Caracciola’s record speed. As a testament to the prowess of German engineering, it cleverly incorporates Löbner’s patented sliding crown protector to avoid accidental operation, demonstrating that their watches are not just about style, but also about utmost functionality.
