SPECIFICATIONS
‘The GT40 doesn’t break the laws of physics, it merely uses them as its personal playground.’
True to this spirit, the Turismo Pilote has been meticulously crafted and is the perfect balance of style, performance and design.
Whilst the team at Turismo share a passion to coach build the finest possible item, they, like the Ford engineering team, who used the NASCAR Ford Galaxie power unit as a base for the GT40 IV 427 FE engine, recognise that beauty is also defined by performance and reliability.
The Pilote specifies a Ronda sourced, 91 piece, Swiss made, gold plated, 10 jewel, analogue quartz movement – An elegantly simple, but reliable movement, which powers many of the world’s most prestigious brands.
The bi-compax chronograph, with hacking system, has an add and split function, 30-minute counter, small second and date window.
Complaint to both the ISO 1413 horology shock resistance and the ISO 764 horology magnetic resistance standards, the drive operates in temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius, with an accuracy of - 10 > + 20 seconds per month.

OUR UNIQUE HOMAGE TO GULF LIVERY
A bi-compax layout chronograph, sporting a unique homage to the Gulf livery.
The dial is framed by an impression of a classic Nardi steering wheel, finished in the stunning Gulf Livery, which mirrors the chapter ring and encompasses the two-hand installed, concentrically turned and recessed powder blue sub dials, with indices and numerals finished in complimentary original Gulf dark blue.
LOLA WHITE
The chrono second hand, in ‘Gulf Orange’ is complete with 'Lola White' Turismo emblem and reminds the wearer that every second counts.
GULF RACING ORANGE
The minute counter and small seconds sub dials carry a traditionally pointed hand in a third, vivid, Gulf Racing orange,whilst the date wheel at 6 o’clock is presented in a contrasting white rectangle.
STAINLESS STEEL CASE WITH INDIVIDUAL SERIAL NUMBER
The 42.5 mm brushed case stands at 12 mm thickness, with a 20mm lug width, and is crafted from 316 L stainless steel. It wont tarnish and will never rust. To the rear, the case is finished with a mirror polished screw down back which is etched with the Turismo emblem, and each watch is individually serial numbered.
WATER RESISTANT
Water resistant to 100M/ 10 ATM, the Tertre Rouge is powered by a Swiss 10 Jewel quartz movement – a superb calibre found in many of the horological worlds’ most iconic brands. The gold-plated movement offers a standard 54-month battery life expectancy (with small seconds running), will function in temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius and is shock resistant to ISO 1413 and NIHS 91-10 standards.
CARE ADVICE: Please do not use leather strap in water

MOVEMENT
Even the most beautiful watch depends upon being set into motion by a reliable drive.
The precision of Swiss movements is legendary.
The Turismo Tertre Rouge utilises a Ronda sourced, 91 piece, Swiss made, gold plated, 10 jewel, fully repairable analogue quartz movement.
The bi-compax chronograph, with hacking system, has an add and split function, 30-minute counter, small second and date window.
Standard battery life from a 395 cell is 54 months and with the stem disengaged power consumption is reduced by a further 70%.
Able to operate in temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius, the drive has an instantaneous rate / accuracy of - 10 > + 20 seconds per month.
It is compliant to both the ISO 1413 horology shock resistance and the ISO 764 horology magnetic resistance standards.
We are proud to say this movement powers many of the world’s most prestigious brands.
The watch strap is so much more than simply an accessory, it is a ‘function critical’ component that significantly impacts horological ‘deportment’.
Choose from our range of inspiring, stylish NATOs to curate your own design ensemble that compliments the Gulf livery, a rugged Tropic homage in blur or orange.
