This limited edition chronograph from Rotary draws inspiration from 1970s motorsport design. The 42mm stainless steel case houses a three-dial chronograph with a distinctive yellow dial, black sub-dials, and bold black numerals. A tachymeter bezel provides timing functionality, whilst the textured yellow background creates visual depth. Water resistant to 50 metres, the watch sits on a perforated brown leather strap reminiscent of vintage racing glove designs.
Only 100 pieces were produced, each individually numbered. The watch combines quartz movement with period-correct aesthetics, making it a straightforward sports chronograph for those appreciating retro motorsport styling. The contrasting colour scheme and functional complications reflect Rotary's approach to accessible, reliable watchmaking rather than haute horlogerie.
