Mario Andretti is that rare breed of driver whose talents have taken him to the top of virtually every category in elite racing. Among his 111 career victories, several have come at the sport's most coveted races, including the Daytona 500 and the Indy 500. Andretti is also one of the few American drivers to achieve success in Formula One, winning the 1978 Drivers Championship with Lotus. His 12 victories in Formula One make him the winningest American that the series has ever seen. Andretti is also the only person to have been named United States Driver of the year in three different decades. And as if that wasn't enough, the Associated Press and RACER selected him as driver of the century. Others may have proved more dominant in a single discipline, but Mario Andretti was a force to be reckoned with on every track, proving to be, perhaps, the most well-rounded race car driver of all time. Over the course of this storied career, which took him to all corners of the world for races on circuits including Spa, Monaco, Daytona, and Indianapolis, Andretti quietly amassed one of the most interesting collections of sports watches that we've ever encountered – and he certainly has the stories to go with them.
