An upgraded selection of Geckota watches to honour the work of Eighty One Racing Heroes and ambassador Scott McKenna - exclusively for WatchGecko…

Here at WatchGecko, we love a few things. A good story, hard-working people and watches (obviously) and those three things we see in both Scott McKenna and Racing Heroes. Everyone reading this will, of course, know who Scott McKenna is by now. Our motorsport ambassador for WatchGecko who currently can be seen throwing a Porsche around race tracks around the UK.
