Cigarette Racing is a classic manufacture in the marine industry which focuses on designing power boats emphasizing on performance and luxury. The present watch with the Cigarette Racing emblem at 9 o’clock is believed to be ordered by the manufacture and given to their clients as gifts. Although very little information of the watch is available, research shows that this iteration of the refence 5513 is only seen with cases from 1987 and 1988 such as the present example.
