As the official timepiece of Formula 1, Rolex offers an unparalleled experience whether you’re the racer or a spectator
The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most highly anticipated on the Formula 1 calendar every season. Formula 1’s first night race, which began in 2008, is one of the most popular destinations for both racers and fans. Add to the fact that the race is conducted on the roads in the heart of a bustling ultra-modern city with the Marina Bay skyline in the background, and you have a novelty that is simply hard to beat—or resist.
Adding to the excitement is one of the most physically demanding races, with sharp corners that guarantee to give the wheels a rigorous workout and a humid climate that would make drivers lose as much as 3kg of body weight during the course of the 63-lap race!

Rolex has been the global partner as well as the official timepiece of Formula 1 since 2008. A watchmaker synonymous with prestige and precision, its association with Formula 1 is fitting, given that the race shares similar values.
Keeping a close watch on the race is the unmissable Rolex Pit Lane Clock that accompanies the apex of motorsports to all 22 races across five continents season after season. Looking out onto the Singapore Grand Prix circuit from the confines of the Rolex Suite in the Paddock Club, Sir Jackie Stewart muses: “Singapore is a special country, there’s nothing like it. Everything here is immaculate, the streets are immaculate, the sights are immaculate. The whole operation is typical of Formula 1, making it a remarkable event in the middle of one of the major cities of the world.”
