It powers the hour, minute and center seconds hands as well as the date at 3 o’ clock. This workhorse calibre also offers Hacking Seconds, Quickset Date and Hand-winding functions.
Inspired by Motor Sports
In addition to its quickly identifiable exterior architecture, the Racer automatic timepiece incorporates several automobile-inspired elements. For example, the intricate multi-layer dial includes designs inspired from vehicle engines, gears and pinions, steering wheels, analogue dashboard indicators, seat-belt buckles, air vents and etc. The strap attachment system, which ensures seamless fitment of the strap, is shaped after the camshafts used in internal combustion engines of the automobile vehicles.
In addition to these striking features, the new Wryst Automatic SX4 Racer variant highlights a vivid red tone that has been associated with motor racing since long time. The Racing Red is the official color representing the Italian teams participating in the international motor racing events. This shade is traditionally called Rosso corsa in Italian language. It is also the preferred color of world-renowned supercar brands like Ferrari and Alfa Romeo.
Double Injection Strap
The innovative, double injection silicone bracelet of the timepiece boasts a vivid red tone with black border lines. Usually, the dial of the Racer automatic watch possesses an industrial look with a neutral color theme, but the slight touches of red add some vibrancy to this new model. This distinctive color scheme makes the new variant a stand-out member in the brand’s popular Mens luxury watches collection.
The spare strap provided with this specific variant also merits considerable attention. Made of high-quality leather, this Formula 1 racing inspired strap features a carbon fiber motif on its surface. It also features dual-stitching with red and white threads as well as red colored sides.
Curved Case
Meticulously crafted by employing ultra-modern CNC machines, the barrel-shaped body of the watch maintains a curvy silhouette inspired by the shapes of high-performance sports cars. This new wristwatch is a perfect union of the ‘Design Meets Function’ principle. For example, the curved side contours of the case not only provide these Mens luxury watches a distinct aesthetic style; they also protect the crown from physical damages.
Protecting the dial side is a domed sapphire crystal glass. Virtually scratch-proof, this glass ensures the unobstructed view of the dial details. For night time readability, the hands and hour-markers employ Luminova coating. Through a smoked transparent case back window, the movement can be observed. Equipped with a screwed-down crown, this Wryst Automatic SX4 Racer model has a water resistance of 100 meters.
