Festina Chrono Bike Collection, 2020 Edition

In collaboration with Richard Virenque (French professional road racing cyclist, now retired), Festina launches the 2020 edition of the iconic Chrono Bike collection.

The sportiest collection of the brand is presented this year with a lighter and more compact design but without losing any of its sports inspiration or the spirit that has always defined it.

The new collection with a 44.50mm diameter case, hardened mineral glass and water resistant to 100 meters, comes in 6 stainless steel bracelet models (F20522/1 to 6) and 8 models (F20523/ 1 to 8)with silicon straps.

The “full steel” versions with more subtle coloured dials, have a half matt and half polished finish that gives a more original look. Apart from the obligatory black dial, the silicon versions are more daring with vivid dial colours such as yellow, orange or light blue.

The 2020 collection presents two versions of the Special Edition. Both with hardened mineral glass, the F20524 is made of stainless steel with a dark blue IP treatment and the F20525 is the black version.

In both cases the details of the watch, such as: the indexes, the needles, the sub-dials, the push-buttons and some details on the bracelet, are made of steel with a copper coloured IP finish.

The most exclusive Chrono Bike in the collection, the Limited Edition F20527 / 1 is available in 5000 numbered pieces. This model is made of stainless steel with a Gun Metal IP treatment and boasts a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. In addition, it includes an interchangeable black silicon strap as a gift and the tool to be able to change it at home.
