The Dial

The blue dial of this watch pays homage to Fangio's iconic colors, evoking his competitive spirit and passion for motorsport. With its matte finish, the dial delivers a refined and understated aesthetic. It features Arabic numerals and luminescent indices for easy time reading, even in the dark. The hands are also luminescent, contributing to a clean, clear display. The railroad track bezel surrounding the dial and the additional chronograph subdials bring precision to this timepiece, where every detail recalls the golden age of motorsport. The dial also incorporates a date and day window, further enhancing its functionality.

The Movement

Powered by the Edox 011 caliber based on the robust Sellita SW500, this watch delivers exceptional Swiss watchmaking precision. This automatic movement with a frequency of 28,800 vph ensures perfect synchronization of the hands and chronograph functions: 12 h, 30 mm, and small seconds. The 46-hour power reserve speaks to the energy efficiency of this sophisticated mechanism, while the rotor visible through the transparent case back invites you to admire the harmonious dance of the gears.
