Automatic chronograph in the style of the "Paul Newman" Daytona; Timefactors says only "there's no disguising the design influences", so inspired_by is inferred from the dial and tachymeter bezel. Product page: 316L steel, polished sides and brushed top, 40mm (44mm with crown), 48mm lug-to-lug, 16mm to the top of the bombé crystal, 20mm lugs, anti-magnetic 4,800 A/m, 100m, 190g with bracelet, screw sapphire display back, screw-down crown and pushers; bombé sapphire 32mm x 1.6mm (AR not stated); semi-matte black or white dial with a semi-circle of BGW9 below each index, lumed polished steel hands. Seiko Instruments NE88 (Seiko 8R28), 34-jewel column-wheel automatic chronograph; no date window in the photos, so the movement's date is not displayed. Solid-link screwed bracelet with solid end links and an "extending clasp" (type not stated). Supplied in a Peli-style case. The product page reads "SOLD OUT & DISCONTINUED" (2026-10-25).
