Geneva, June 2023 – The 24 Hours of Le Mans, the oldest and most respected automotive endurance race, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, earning it the title “Battle of the Century.” From Saturday, June 10 to Sunday, June 11, a record crowd of over 200,000 spectators is expected to attend the race as drivers and teams push the limits at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Rolex has been a partner and official timekeeper of the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2001, supporting the engineering and human endurance values of this legendary race.

One of the most celebrated drivers in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Tom Kristensen is a nine-time winner and became a Rolex Testimonee in 2010. This time, he will be the ambassador for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 100th anniversary celebrations. Commenting on the legendary race, he said: “It’s only when you look back over the last 100 years that you realize the significance of Le Mans.

During the 24-hour race, the Rolex clock reminds you of the value of every minute and lap. No one is perfect, but for a driver, if they can reach their full potential during this time, they can get closer to perfection.”
