The stainless steel case and rosewood bezel accentuate each other's presence

The "Ralph Lauren Automotive Steel Watch" draws inspiration from Ralph Lauren's esteemed collection of classic cars. This stainless steel skeleton watch is characterized by its exquisite harmony of industrial technology and refined design.

The main plate is skillfully cut, allowing appreciation of the complex mechanism beneath. Rivets, reminiscent of those used in automotive parts, and a combination of polished and brushed stainless steel components create a design that evokes the luxury racing cars of the 1930s owned by Lauren.

Inside, it houses a Swiss-made mechanical movement, the F.A. Jones-designed RL1967 caliber, customized for Ralph Lauren by Val Fleurier. This hand-wound movement beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. The main plate is adorned with Côtes de Genève and perlage decorations, with an "RL" logo formed by overlapping initials engraved on a brushed stainless steel plate at the 12 o'clock position.

The rosewood bezel, also found in the interiors of classic cars, is meticulously hand-cut to showcase its swirling, rich grain patterns. It is then carefully hand-screwed onto the bezel's curved shape. The combination of the stainless steel case and rosewood bezel creates a uniquely vintage yet sporty model that enhances the presence of each material.
