Carbon fiber-reinforced resin case with suspension arm design.
Unique case design with a motif inspired by formula car suspension. Just like the four-arm suspension used in race cars, with two arms above and two below, the lugs are configured in a four-arm arrangement. Carbon fiber-reinforced resin is used as the case material, delivering both strength and lightness.
“Real motorsports” concept expressing the dynamic energy of race cars.
The wide stainless-steel bezel features a hairline finish that accentuates the texture of the metal, presenting a timepiece with the powerful appearance of a winner. The chronograph dial incorporates a bold layout with a large LCD and voluminous index marks and hour and minute hands, creating a dimensional, high-contrast structure that further enhances visibility.
Schedule timer to support precise time management.
Automatically transfers schedule data entered in a smartphone’s calendar app to the watch and displays schedule start and end times on the LCD along with audible alerts. An inset dial indicator also counts down to the next scheduled event and shows the time remaining. A checkered flag pattern indicates that less than 30 minutes remain.
Smartphone Link for full functionality at your fingertips.
From accurate time management to effective use of measurement data. Diverse functions to support onsite racing activities, now made available for your daily lifestyle.
Super Illuminator (high-brightness auto double LED light) for readability in the dark.
A high-luminosity double LED illuminates the dial and the LCD. Use the auto-light function when you don’t have a hand free — simply turning your wrist will cause the dial to light up.
