The dial of the Volante is inspired by our best-selling Cobb Monopusher GMT. Its radiant sky blue sunburst dial is punctuated by engine-turned cream sub-dials that perfectly complement the blue hues. Applied to this dial are polished faceted markers that taper towards the dial’s centre. They’re filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova, as are the hands, which are tapered and a glossy navy blue. Meanwhile, the chronograph seconds hand is a bright orange that bursts out of the dial, whilst the running seconds hand is a subtle sky blue to match the dial with an orange tip. The dial is framed by a bidirectional bezel whose navy blue insert features a luminous 12-hour scale that lets you track a second time zone. Thanks to such a considered colour scheme, the Volante is both playful and versatile, being a watch that can be dressed up or down to suit your needs.
There will be 100 units of the Volante available in total.
FEATURES
Continental GMT - The bezel is bidirectional and has a ceramic insert that’s etched with a twelve-hour scale so that it can be used to track a second time zone.
Sublime Slopes - The lugs are the defining feature of the Racing Chronograph’s case. In addition to a large polished chamfer that cuts into the brushed finish, the lugs themselves have a “ski slope” shape where the tips curve slightly upwards. It’s a subtle touch that has a big impact on how the watch feels on the wrist.
Supreme Comfort - The case measures 38.5mm in diameter and is made of 316L stainless steel. As to the watch’s thickness, its total depth is only 13.4mm, which makes the watch remarkably easy to wear.
Glow Up - The hands, hour markers, and bezel have all had applications of BGW9 Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility under any circumstances.
Swiss Precision - Inside the watch beats a manually wound Swiss Sellita SW510M b movement. This dependable calibre is the perfect choice to rely on to keep the Racing Chronograph ticking away, and it has 23 jewels, Incabloc shock protection and a large 63-hour power reserve.
STORY
Volante is the Italian word for steering wheel. Derived from the verb volare (to fly), the word literally means "flying." It’s an apt choice that, in motorsport, evokes imagery of classic racing cars speeding round a track.
The chronograph was invented in 1815 by Louis Moinet. However, it was not until the 1950s that dedicated racing chronographs came to prominence. With the increasing popularity of motor racing in the post-war era, watch companies worked to improve chronograph movements and create watches dedicated to timing motorsports. Their popularity only continued to rise as they were seen on the wrists of great celebrities, which led to the racing chronograph entering popular culture and cementing their place as one of the great icons of watchmaking.
