When a timepiece is crafted from the very material that fueled a legend, it transcends the ordinary. Enter the REC TTT Knievel Watch ($2,395), a limited-edition marvel forged from Evel Knievel’s final stunt bike, the 1977 “Shark Jump” Harley-Davidson XR750. It’s more than a watch—it’s a piece of history, paying homage to one of the most daring showmen to ever rev an engine.
Evel Knievel, born Robert Craig Knievel, wasn’t just a motorcycle stuntman—he was an icon of audacious showmanship, embodying the thrill of danger and spectacle. His infamous Shark Jump, staged during the 1970s shark craze, marked the end of his high-flying career after an unexpected rehearsal crash. The TTT Knievel captures this pivotal moment, immortalizing the spirit of a man who lived life at full throttle.
At its core, the TTT Knievel is a masterful blend of craftsmanship and storytelling. The star marker at 12 o’clock is crafted from the clutch levers of Knievel’s “Shark Jump” XR750, making each watch a true one-of-a-kind artifact. Limited to just 736 pieces, the exclusivity of this timepiece mirrors the rarity of Knievel’s feats. The skeletonized SELLITA SW200-1 Sb movement, with black ruthenium plating and a rotor inspired by motorcycle wheels, provides a mesmerizing view through the openworked dial and exhibition case back. Evel Knievel’s signature graces the case back, a subtle yet striking nod to his legacy.
The watch boasts a fully skeletonized sandwich dial, with a unique 30-degree rotation that shifts between “RIDE” and “DRESS” modes, controlled via the bezel or crown. The case, constructed from 316L stainless steel, features wire lugs inspired by the XR750’s exhaust pipes, marrying form and function seamlessly. The strap—crafted from double-calf leather—sports embossed red, white, and blue stripes, paying tribute to Knievel’s iconic star-spangled attire. It’s an unapologetic blend of vintage aesthetics and modern engineering.
With 50 meters of water resistance, a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and a robust stainless-steel clasp, the TTT Knievel is as tough as the man it honors. Whether you’re tearing down the highway or appreciating it over a whiskey, this watch is a bold statement for adventurers and collectors alike. Own a piece of Evel Knievel’s unparalleled legacy. The TTT Knievel Watch isn’t just a tribute—it’s a celebration of risk, resilience, and relentless ambition.
