Evolution “Competition”, Built from Le Mans Victory
Lorige has launched the BL-Evolution “Competition” watch, which incorporates recycled carbon/carbon composite material from brake pads used in Le Mans-winning race cars. The timepiece features a tonneau-shaped case, a gradient sapphire dial, and titanium components to celebrate the brand's partnership with the Inter Europol Competition team.
Why it matters
This watch represents a niche intersection of high-end horology and motorsport memorabilia, appealing to collectors who value physical provenance in luxury goods.

Following the recent BL-Endurance Evolution Bleu Asphalte Gold Edition , the new BL-Evolution “Competition” celebrates the brand’s partnership with Inter Europol Competition and its appointment as official timekeeper for the team’s IMSA season, using carbon/carbon reprocessed from the No.43 and No.343 LMP2 cars that finished first and second in class at the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans .
