C7 RAPIDE CHRONOMETER
C7 RAPIDE CHRONOMETER
What better way to perfectly capture the
spirit of the track than in the release of a
Chronometer version of the ever-popular
C7 Rapide Chronograph Mark II – v390.
The new model is powered by the thermo-
compensated ETA 251.264 quartz movement ,
its COSC certication setting a new benchmark
of precision in bringing chronometer status
to the C7 Rapide family, making it not only one
of the most stunning of our motorsport watches,
but also the most accurate. The dial represents
the sub-division of time and measurement
in highly visible detail, while the watch’s
tachymeter provides an invaluable tool for
on-track timekeeping.
Ad genus set vivere – to race is to live – has
long been the credo by which our Motorsport
Collection is created, and never more
accurately realised than in this new edition,
representing the pinnacle of both achievement
and accuracy on the race track.
The C7 COSC is a limited edition of only
500 pieces worldwide
