Sapphire crystal protects the black carbon fibre dial with a tachymeter running on the outside track, large Arabic numerals indicate the hours. 3 sub-dials make up the chronograph, comprises a 1/10 second chronograph counter located at the 2 o’clock position and on the opposite side, at the 10 o’clock position, there is a 30-minute Chrono sub-dial. The third sub-dial is a 60 seconds counter.  The screw-down case back has engraved limited number out of 8888 and in the centre is the MOTO GP logo. Inside is a Swiss Quartz movement.

Personal Note

By no means is this a watch for the masses! It is a niche watch for a specific person... And for that person they will love this watch, that is what makes it so fun, it knows exactly what it is and who it is aiming for.
