Released in a numbered limited edition of 50 pieces, the Racing Driver is the second series of watches produced by the Fleurisanne brand Double-Vé.
Introduced in 2020, this Robust, sporty and colorful watch stands has a blue dial with red and white details.
The 42 mm diameter case in 316L steel is fitted with a 4 mm thick sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment and a full blue unidirectional rotating fluted bezel with 120 clicks.
Water-resistant to 200 meters, the Racing Driver model is also available with blue or black graduated bezel. For greater comfort and to add a touch of originality, the fluted screw-down crown is located at 4 o’clock.
Enhanced with maximum luminescence, the blue dial of the Double-Vé Racing Driver watch was produced in Val-de-Travers. The anodized aluminum bezel insert was also produced in the region.
This Swiss made watch is powered by the ETA 2824-2 movement. This automatic calibre has been adjusted in an optimized manner within the brand’s Fleurian workshop.
The solid engraved back protects a finely decorated movement whose blue galvanized oscillating weight is engraved with the brand logo.
The Double-Vé Racing Driver is fitted with a resolutely vintage structured brown calfskin strap that will evolve with the use of its owner, acquiring a nice patina over time.
This model is delivered in a leather travel case bearing the “double-Vé” logo and which can hold up to three watches, an essential accessory when traveling.
It is available on the double-ve.ch website at the price of CHF 1290.-
