Features

SLIMNESS, LEGIBILITY, PRECISION

In motorsport, every gram counts. The S-05 Gris Asphalte follows the same philosophy. Machined from a single block of titanium, its case features an integrated bezel and weighs just 41 g without the strap. On the wrist, it feels almost weightless — until the moment you start the chronograph.

Every detail is designed for instant readability. The sandblasted finish minimizes reflections, while the slim, precision-crafted ladder-style hands keep the dial clearly visible. At 12 o’clock, a raised marker takes inspiration from the center stripe found at the top of rally steering wheels, helping drivers identify the straight-ahead position at a glance. Here, it draws the eye toward the timing display.

The two chronograph pushers have distinct shapes, allowing you to tell them apart by touch without taking your eyes off the road.

The VK64 meca-quartz movement combines the best of both worlds. Battery-powered quartz technology delivers reliable everyday precision without the need for winding. The chronograph, however, operates through a mechanical module, offering a crisp, tactile response when activated, reminiscent of a traditional mechanical chronograph, with an instantaneous snap-back reset of the hands.

ASYMMETRY BY DESIGN

The dial is designed to be read like a racing dashboard. On the left, the oversized subdial draws inspiration from the color gradients of sports car tachometers, set against a black background for maximum contrast. Deliberately larger than its counterpart on the right, it takes center stage — because this is where every second counts.

On the right, the 24-hour subdial conceals a subtle nod to motorsport enthusiasts. Its scale begins at 4 PM, the traditional starting time of the world's most iconic endurance race, marking the beginning of 24 hours of racing.

Around the dial, the triangular minute track takes its cues from the instruments of vintage racing cars. The hour markers remain understated, providing a secondary reference while keeping the chronograph firmly in focus.

AN ODE TO FRENCH MOTORSPORT

Turn the watch over: the caseback pays tribute to the French cars that made motor racing history, from pre-war Grands Prix to the great endurance races that run through the night. A salute to an entire racing culture, from a country that has always known how to win.
