Milanese BraceletRACING GREEN
The Gara makes careful use of one of the most iconic colours in motorsport - British Racing Green. It’s the colour of the three chronograph sub-dials, which have an engine-turned finish and white print. The bold trio cuts through the silver sunburst dial and pairs perfectly with the green ceramic insert of the bidirectional rotating bezel. Furthermore, this insert features a luminous 12-hour scale that lets you track a second time zone.
The faceted hour markers that are applied to the dial are tapered towards its centre and have a strong application of BGW9 Super-LumiNova. They’re paired with a tapered handset that’s painted a glossy British Racing Green and also filled with lume.
Pops of burnt orange on the minute track and running seconds hand cut through the green and silver, and a mustard yellow chronograph seconds hand further breaks up the two-tone colour scheme. The result is a watch with simple elegance, yet whose bold green elements make it a standout watch on the wrist.
There will be 100 units of the Gara available in total.
FEATURES
Continental GMT - The bezel is bidirectional and has a ceramic insert that’s etched with a twelve-hour scale so that it can be used to track a second time zone.
Sublime Slopes - The lugs are the defining feature of the Racing Chronograph’s case. In addition to a large polished chamfer that cuts into the brushed finish, the lugs themselves have a “ski slope” shape where the tips curve slightly upwards. It’s a subtle touch that has a big impact on how the watch feels on the wrist.
Supreme Comfort - The case measures 38.5mm in diameter and is made of 316L stainless steel. As to the watch’s thickness, its total depth is only 13.4mm, which makes the watch remarkably easy to wear.
Glow Up - The hands, hour markers, and bezel have all had applications of BGW9 Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility under any circumstances.
Swiss Precision - Inside the watch beats a manually wound Swiss Sellita SW510M b movement. This dependable calibre is the perfect choice to rely on to keep the Racing Chronograph ticking away, and it has 23 jewels, Incabloc shock protection and a large 63-hour power reserve.
STORY
Gara is Italian for “race” or “competition”, and so it makes for a fitting name for a racing chronograph designed to be worn during motorsport competitions. It conjures memories of watching the Italian Grand Prix in the September sun.
The chronograph was invented in 1815 by Louis Moinet. However, it was not until the 1950s that dedicated racing chronographs came to prominence. With the increasing popularity of motor racing in the post-war era, watch companies worked to improve chronograph movements and create watches dedicated to timing motorsports. Their popularity only continued to rise as they were seen on the wrists of great celebrities, which led to the racing chronograph entering popular culture and cementing their place as one of the great icons of watchmaking.
