The "BR-X1 R.S.18" embodies all the elements of a racing driver's watch, presenting the ultimate high-tech skeleton chronograph. It is equipped with the instruments essential for measuring the short intervals of motorsport. The movement features a skeletonized finish, offering a unique and high-tech aesthetic. This style is further enhanced by lever-type push-buttons with integrated yellow rubber inserts.

The 30-minute counter, highlighted in red—an iconic motorsport color—and the yellow tachymeter scale on the flange evoke the circuit and starting grid. To improve the usability of the chronograph function, a yellow rubber thumb grip has been designed at the 9 o'clock position of the case.

The case is crafted from micro-blasted titanium with a skeletonized finish. Its matte texture and understated appearance lend it an extremely modern impression. The strap is made of a uniquely developed ergonomic black rubber, offering breathability and comfortable wear.
