Vintage Rally Healey Chronograph Automatic

TRIBUTE TO CLASSIC CARS LIMITED EDITION The legend of "British racing green" The second version’s entire dial is adorned with the legendary deep, bold green colour of the Healey company. A study in contrast and a return to the roots of one of the most iconic rally car colours, "British racing green" has long been associated with the vintage Austin Healeys that are especially desirable among collectors now. This rendering by Frederique Constant is sleek and stylish. While the last time this "British racing green" was used was on a chronograph model from 2018, the revival of this shade on a three-hand model enables the wearer to subtly show off their love of vintage cars without compromising the timeless elegance of a more urban timepiece, complete with legendary perforated brown calfskin strap. Limited edition collector’s item Each of the models features an automatic FC-303 calibre with a date window at 3 o’clock and a power reserve of 38 hours. The backgrounds of these two new models have been engraved with a Healey being driven at full throttle; the famous Healey 100S NOJ393 was purchased by a collector for £155 in 1969 and sold for nearly €1 million in December 2011. Underneath is the individual serial number for each piece, strictly limited to 2,888 units, which comes in a collector’s gift set complete with miniature replica of the NOJ393.
