MAN & MACHINE
Paying homage to arguably the greatest of all man and machine spectacles, the Turismo Tertre Rouge.
Tertre Rouge refers to the colour of the terroir at this critical mid speed right hand curve, that leads towards the first stretch of the Mulsanne.
True to this spirit, the Turismo Tertre Rouge has been meticulously crafted and is a perfect balance of form and function.
MIDNIGHT BLUE SKY
The discreet gloss midnight blue dial, is framed by an impression of a classic Nardi steering wheel, finished in Mercedes-Benz ‘Silver Arrows’, that delicately traces the chapter ring and encompasses the two-hand installed, concentrically turned and recessed sub dials.
PRIMROSE YELLOW
The hour indexes are in Jaguar 'Primrose yellow'
FRENCH YELLOW
Clarity is essential; hence, the uniquely coloured ‘French yellow’ hour and minute hands are of the traditional syringe style, with cathedral panelling.
LOLA WHITE
The chrono second hand, in ‘full course yellow’ 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 ART OF THE LEATHER WORKER
The watch strap is so much more than simply an accessory, it is a ‘function critical’ component that significantly impacts horological ‘deportment’
DETAIL IS THE KEY
