Inspired by the design of vintage motor cycle instruments with black body and chromed bezel (the watch has a polished stainless steel bezel), this watch captures the look of a speedometer whilst still retaining clear functionality as a watch. Several designs were produced before deciding to go with this one and the full design discussion can be seen here.
Like all Time Factors watches all of the components used are manufactured specifically for this watch (except for the movement), stock components are not used.
The first 45 pieces are fitted with the ETA2836-2 movement and thereafter with a new old stock ETA2830 movement.
Supplied in a 2-watch zipper travel case with 24 months guarantee.
