An innovative powerhouse, the present watch features a function rarely seen on any other chronograph watch on the market. At the conventional two and four o'clock positions, these buttons are used to start, stop and reset the chronograph. However an important button at 9 o'clock, one click on it would simultaneously stop one of the two working chronograph hands, while resetting one of them to zero. This allows the timing of the most recent lap to be recorded, while starting the timing of the next lap right away.

The architecture of the watch is on the other hand, phenomenal. A substantial 44 mm case crafted in forged carbon, bezel, case edges with titanium, while the push pieces are highlighted by pink gold. The present watch is a wholehearted tribute to the legendary racer.
