The legacy Ayrton Senna left behind in F1 will soon be portrayed through a Netflix show set to release later this month. The star of that series, Gabriel Leone, is fully promoting the same, as evidenced by his sporting of a limited edition watch dedicated to Senna.
Leone, at a promotional event in Sao Paolo, was spotted wearing the Tag Heuer Carrera Extreme Sport Chronograph Tourbillon X Senna, which reportedly costs around $38k. It is a titanium watch, featuring a skeleton dial, with the sub-dial consisting of a ‘S’ dedicated to Senna.
