The TW Steel VS136 Evel Knievel Special Edition, featuring the iconic colours of the legendary stuntman.
Evel Knievel became a global icon thanks to spectacular motorbike jumps over cars, buses and other obstacles. His performances revolved around speed, spectacle and, above all, daring.
His look was just as recognisable. Knievel often appeared in striking white suits with red and blue details and star motifs. It is precisely this distinctive style that forms the inspiration for the TW Steel VS136 Evel Knievel Special Edition.
Anyone who takes a close look at the watch will discover various references to the American stuntman.
The first thing that catches the eye on the TW Steel VS136 is the silver-coloured sunray dial. A sunray finish reflects light from the centre of the dial, causing the colour and appearance to change subtly depending on the angle of the light.
The blue and red accents are a direct reference to Evel Knievel’s characteristic colour scheme. The star at 12 o’clock has also been deliberately chosen and is a clear nod to his iconic outfits.
Furthermore, the Evel Knievel emblem is positioned around the 6 o’clock mark. This makes it immediately clear where the inspiration for this Special Edition comes from.
It is precisely these details that give the VS136 its extra character. At first glance, you see a robust TW Steel chronograph, but a closer look reveals more and more references to the story behind the watch.
TW Steel has built its reputation largely on generous-sized watch cases and a bold, recognisable design. The VS136 fits perfectly into this tradition.
The stainless steel case has a diameter of 45 mm. This means it’s not a watch that blends into the background. Moreover, that size fits the theme perfectly. After all, a subdued tribute to Evel Knievel wouldn’t really feel credible.
The combination of the steel case, light-coloured dial and blue and red accents gives the watch a sporty look without making the design unnecessarily busy.

TW Steel combines the VS136’s steel case with a blue leather strap. This choice enhances the colour scheme on the dial and ensures the design remains beautifully balanced as a whole.
The blue makes the VS136 stand out more than a similar watch with a traditional black or brown strap. At the same time, the leather gives the watch a smart look.
As a result, the TW Steel VS136 pairs well with a casual outfit, but you can also wear it when you want to look a bit smarter.
Beneath the striking design lies a VK64 quartz chronograph movement. In addition to the standard time display, the TW Steel VS136 therefore features a chronograph function that allows time intervals to be measured.
A quartz movement offers practical advantages. It is accurate, easy to use and generally requires little maintenance. This makes the VS136 not only an interesting Special Edition, but also a watch that can be worn regularly.
Anyone curious about the automatic side of TW Steel can also take a look at our TW Steel Skeleton collection. There, the brand takes a completely different approach, offering a view of the automatic movement.
The TW Steel VS136 features reinforced mineral glass with a sapphire coating.
In this way, TW Steel combines the practical properties of mineral glass with extra surface protection. For a watch with such a distinctive dial, this is a useful feature, as you naturally want to keep the design looking its best for as long as possible.
The TW Steel VS136 has a water resistance rating of 10 ATM. This fits in well with the sporty character of this Special Edition.
So the watch not only looks robust, but also has specifications suited to a watch worn actively.
For many watch enthusiasts, Special Editions offer something extra. They link the character of a watch brand to a specific story, a person or a recognisable theme.
With the VS136, this combination works particularly well. TW Steel is known for large watches with a distinctive look. Evel Knievel, on the other hand, became famous for his daring, spectacle and a style that made him impossible to overlook.
TW Steel has frequently launched eye-catching collaborations with the worlds of sport and speed. A good example is our article about TW Steel Red Bull watches. Here too, the recognisable TW Steel design is combined with a sporting narrative.
This approach makes the VS136 more than just a new version with different colours for enthusiasts and collectors. The Evel Knievel details ensure that the model carves out a place of its own within the TW Steel collection.
The TW Steel VS136 is primarily intended for someone who likes to wear a watch with character on their wrist.
With its 45 mm case, silver-coloured dial, blue leather strap and red and blue details, this model certainly doesn’t try to blend into the background.
If you’re a fan of large watches, chronographs or TW Steel’s distinctive design, then this is definitely a model worth taking a closer look at. For fans of Evel Knievel, the watch naturally takes on an extra layer of meaning.
