Sweden-based watchmaker Bravur has released the 2022 edition of its ‘Tour de France’ chronograph. The watch boasts a 38mm stainless steel case, polished and brushed to perfection. A "wet asphalt-colored" dial with polka dots contrasts bold yellow text and accents on the hour markers, referencing the title awarded to the race's best climber. The new watch’s pristine pot hour markers have been coated in lume for easy visibility in low-light conditions. The sapphire crystal case back is decorated with Côtes de Genève, perlé decoration, blue screws, and a bespoke rotor, elevating the watch’s top-tier Sellita automatic SW511 movement.
Bravur will produce the ‘Tour de France’ timepiece in limited quantities of up to 50 pieces. Each watch will be uniquely and individually numbered, with a retail price starting at $2,550 USD.
