REC Watches was founded in 2014 by Danish duo Jonathan Kamstrup and Christian Mygh. The company focus is on luxury watches that celebrate classic motorsports, with its name derived from the three basic principles on which they operate: “recover, recycle, and reclaim”. The brand’s first watches came from local scrapyards in the form of Mini Coopers and featuring quartz movements, and have since evolved into limited edition models featuring materials from historical fighter aircraft and racing machines.

The 98T/4 Limited Edition was announced by REC Watches in early 2024. The chronograph is made from Lotus 98T Formula One chassis no. 4 that was raced in 1986, with Johnny Dumfries and Ayrton Senna driving the legendary John Player Special liveried cars that season. The text “TYPE 98T CHASSIS #4 1986 SEASON” appears on the dial, with Senna’s racing number 12 featuring prominently on the rotor.
