Catalogue Essay
The present watch was crafted in a limited edition of 50 watches only and features an exclusive dial that bears double signatures of both companies and is fitted with distinctive blue chronograph and 30 minute register hands. This classic blue colour is also illustrated on the tachymetre scale, which replaces the pulsometre scale of the original model and allows precise measurement of average speed. The watch is also accompanied with an additional case back with an engraved inscription which pays tribute to the Beyer heritage.
