Design That Turns Heads
The Sky Racer’s 43 mm cushion case in 316L stainless steel features a mix of polished and brushed finishes that shimmer beautifully under light. This design creates a dynamic wrist presence without feeling bulky.
Its panda dial—a white face with contrasting black subdials—offers exceptional legibility and a nod to 1960s racing chronographs. A textured dial adds depth, while Super-LumiNova BGW9 ensures readability in all lighting conditions.
