Lorige has never treated motorsport as a loose design theme.
For the BL-Endurance Evolution Competition, the young watchmaker goes straight to the material culture of racing, using Carbon/Carbon from brake pads linked to a major endurance success and shaping it into a tonneau case.
The result is a 50-piece limited edition created to mark Lorige’s partnership with Inter Europol Competition as the team’s official timekeeper for the 2026 IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup season.
At a glance
- Lorige has introduced the BL-Endurance Evolution Competition as a 50-piece limited edition for its Inter Europol Competition partnership.
- The watch uses a 50 x 42 x 10.30mm Carbon/Carbon tonneau case made from racing brake pad material.
- It runs the manual-winding LOR-DB03 calibre with a 7-day power reserve and team-colour accents on the small seconds display.
A Carbon/Carbon case with race provenance
The defining detail is the case, which follows Lorige’s established tonneau silhouette and measures 50 x 42 x 10.30mm.
Its Carbon/Carbon construction continues the brand’s habit of turning high-performance automotive material into watchmaking architecture.
Here, the material is taken from brake pads connected to cars that achieved a one-two finish at the 2026 edition of a leading endurance race.
That gives the watch more than a motorsport-inspired look, since the case material has lived within the heat, friction and pressure of competition before reaching the wrist.
A more open dial treatment
This edition introduces a gradient sapphire dial that lets the sunray finish of the movement bridges show through.
It gives the BL-Endurance Evolution Competition a more layered feel than a closed dial would, while keeping the technical character central to Lorige’s identity.
The Arabic hour numerals and rhodium-plated hands have been redesigned, with Super-LumiNova GL Cool Grey added for low-light legibility.
At 6 o’clock, the small seconds display picks up Inter Europol Competition’s yellow and green team colours without overwhelming the otherwise mechanical palette.
The LOR-DB03 calibre and endurance-minded details
Inside is Lorige’s LOR-DB03 manual-winding calibre, assembled from 175 components and built around a 7-day power reserve.
The 168-hour autonomy fits the watch’s endurance racing connection neatly, giving it a practical rhythm that extends well beyond a weekend on the wrist.
The power reserve indicator is visually set apart by an upper bridge and day disc in satin-finished DLC-treated titanium.
A torque-limiting crown handles winding, while the new two-piece Tech Hybrid strap combines rubber and fabric.
The strap is fitted with Lorige’s Quick & Release system as standard, and the folding clasp includes 6mm of fine adjustment.
