|   The case, in stainless steel with rubber, measures 47.8mm x 15.2mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 100 meters. It features rectangular integrated pushers in black rubber-molded stainless steel with a screw-lock crown in black rubber-moulded stainless steel and a solid case-back with an engraved “Classic Racing” inscription. Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber 2894-2 with 37 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours. It is COSC-certified as a chronometer. It comes in a black rubber strap (with raised 1960s Dunlop racing tire motif) with a steel folding clasp From TZ... ____________________________________  | |

| DROOL! Not a big fan of tire tread straps, but that one is actually nice. | |

| Here's something that looks a little different !  Really like how they did this dial with the vertical lines, and race inspired sub-dials. Excellent looking markers, hands, and chapter ring also. Even the bezel is something new with those bolts there. They give a machine-like feel I think ! ..Same thing with the sides of the case, lugs, pushers, and crown !!! ..Chopard did an amazing job with this watch imho. I wonder how much horsepower this one has by the way !  ____________________________________  | |

| Good looking watch but Choppard got way out of line with pricing a couple years ago. This watch should be in the $k range but I'd bet it's more like $7k now.
I like the steering wheel on the crown. |

| Not a bad looking watch. Size and price are bloated though. Must be a 2894 with DD module, for that price, a company ought to have their own movement in it. | |

| Also never cared for tire tread straps.
Usually turn away from racing inspired designs that try to look car parts. | |
