Oris Big Crown Lou Gehrig automatic silver dial leather strap 40 mm

Lou Gehrig, a legend of American baseball
Born in 1903, Lou Gehrig is considered one of the greatest players in baseball history. First base emblematic of the New York Yankees, he played 2,130 consecutive games between 1925 and 1939, a record that earned him the nickname "The Iron Horse". During his exceptional career, he won six World Series titles, was twice elected MVP of the American League and participated seven times in the All-Star Game. His courage in the face of illness, which prematurely ended his career, profoundly marked the world of sport. His famous farewell speech on 4 July 1939 at Yankee Stadium remains one of the most moving moments in baseball history. Through this limited edition, Oris celebrates the values of perseverance, humility and determination embodied by Lou Gehrig.
