About this entry

80% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, bracelet offered.

Automatic version of the Sky Racer cushion-case chronograph (see Sky Racer (ST19) for the hand-wound one). Brand specs: Peacock SL4617 (Hemel: "7750 clone"), hand winding and automatic; 316L polished and brushed case, 43mm, 49mm lug to lug, 16mm thick, 20mm lugs, 50m; screw-down engraved caseback with sapphire window; signed push/pull crown; box sapphire with AR coating (side not stated); 120-click rotating ceramic bezel with BGW9 lume; textured dial with BGW9. The Time Bum (June 2025) says the automatic is 2mm thicker than the 14mm hand-wound version, has a "ghost-date" crown position, and is a limited edition made for The League of Microbrands that was then mostly sold out, with the Classic Blue Livery (tachymeter outer scale) the only one left; the store now lists only that version. Edition size not stated. Two-register layout (small seconds at 9, 30-minute counter at 3, no date) from the photos. Leather strap. No weight published or found.
