Whether its cars or clothes, a classic always improves with age. That’s as true of a 1980s Audi Quattro, as it is with quality menswear. They don’t need to shout to get attention; their craftsmanship and understated style speak for themselves. We’ve paired these looks with a serious racing chronograph or five, and to match the refined styles we’ve focused on the elegant end of the sporting spectrum from Seiko, Carl F. Bucherer, Zenith, TAG Heuer and Omega.
