The transparent caseback, secured by screws, offers a captivating view of the inner workings, while the domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating protects the dial in style. This unique piece is crafted in Switzerland and proudly bears the Limited Edition designation. This first edition is limited to only 162 pieces, a number directly inspired by the 162 miles covered during this legendary race, guaranteeing its authenticity, rarity, and exceptional quality.

The Dial

Each watch in the collection pays tribute to one of the three legendary Cuban Grand Prix races, with every dial's color palette drawn directly from the official poster of the corresponding race. Warm brown defines this first edition, inspired by the original 1957 poster. It evokes the spirit of the very first race held on the iconic Malecón with emotion: refined, adventurous, and unmistakably Cuban. On this model, the dial stands out with a stunning combination of gray and brown, with subtle nuances that reveal themselves under different light angles. Arabic numerals on the dial make reading the time effortless, complemented by luminescent hands that ensure optimal visibility even in low light. It also features three additional counters for the chronograph, elegantly arranged for perfect visual balance. The date window at 6 o'clock adds a practical touch to this refined design. The tachymeter on the dial's outer ring adds an extra dimension, enabling speed measurement.

The Movement

This prestigious timepiece houses an automatic Valjoux 7750 movement, celebrated for its reliability and precision. This Swiss movement, beating at 28,800 vph, not only displays hours, minutes, and seconds, but also integrates a sophisticated chronograph. Visible through the transparent caseback, the rotor has been specially sculpted in the shape of a vintage racing car steering wheel, reinforcing the mechanical and historical spirit of this piece. With an impressive 48-hour power reserve, it delivers exceptional autonomy, giving the wearer the peace of mind of a watch always on time - even after a period without use. This technical achievement is further strengthened by the mechanical robustness of the ETA Valjoux, making it an impeccable choice for connoisseurs of fine watchmaking movements.

The Bracelet

The strap of this watch is crafted from black calfskin leather, combining comfort and sophistication. The mustard yellow stitching adds a dynamic, vibrant touch that beautifully contrasts with the understated black and echoes the iconic colors of the 1957 poster. Fitted with a deployant clasp, it ensures a secure yet easy-to-wear fit, making this stunning strap equally at home in formal or casual settings.

Water Resistance

This watch features a water resistance of 5 ATM, making it resistant to pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters - more than enough for everyday use, in the shower, or in the rain. This specification ensures the watch stays fully protected against water ingress, preserving its high-precision movement and extending the overall life of the timepiece.
