Key Features

• Chronograph Functionality – Powered by a precise quartz movement, this 5-hand chronograph includes subdials for tracking elapsed minutes and 24-hour time, along with a dedicated seconds hand for stopwatch use. The pronounced pushers on the side of the case offer tactile feedback and easy operation, whether timing laps at the track or managing intervals during workouts.
• Luminous Markers and Hands – All hour markers and hands are crafted from applied silver-tone metal and filled with super-luminous material, providing consistent visibility in low-light conditions. This ensures the time remains readable during nighttime drives, early commutes, or dimly lit environments without compromising the watch’s clean aesthetic.
• Tachymeter Scale – The two-tone orange and black tachymeter ring on the bezel allows wearers to calculate average speed over a known distance—ideal for motorsport enthusiasts or anyone tracking performance metrics. Its high-contrast design enhances legibility while reinforcing the watch’s racing identity.
• Perforated Black Leather Strap – The racing-inspired strap features a perforated pattern that improves airflow and comfort during extended wear. Made from durable black leather and secured with a reliable pin buckle, it offers a snug, adjustable fit that stays comfortable whether behind the wheel or on the go.
• Bold Orange Accents – Strategic use of orange—from the chronograph seconds hand to the chapter ring detailing—creates dynamic contrast against the black dial. These accents not only enhance readability but also echo the visual language of classic automotive instrument panels.
• Contoured Black IP Stainless Steel Case – The 42mm case is shaped with aerodynamic curves reminiscent of high-speed vehicles, offering a sleek, modern profile that sits comfortably on the wrist. The black ion-plated finish provides resistance to wear while maintaining a sophisticated, sporty appearance.
• Integrated Date Display – Located at the 6 o’clock position, the date window adds everyday practicality without disrupting the dial’s balanced layout. It’s subtly integrated into the overall design, maintaining the watch’s clean, performance-focused aesthetic.
