Combining sunburst, brushed, and  ribbed  textures calls for absolute precision, leaving only a handful of  colors  capable of surviving the process with their brilliance intact.  British  Racing Green rises to the challenge, bringing one of  motorsport’s most  iconic hues to the wrist. Born in 1903 on Britain’s  racing tracks, the  shade shifts with light, glowing bright forest under  sunlight and  turning rich and moody in shadow. Designed for the modern  man, it  carries the spirit of motorsport into a modern luxury  chronograph,  blending heritage with contemporary presence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStreamlined Proportions \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  Chief Chronograph British Racing Green features a 41mm steel  case with a  unique design.

The sapphire crystal caseback offers a  view of the beautifully  decorated caliber and a water resistance of  100M. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePleasing Dial Aesthetics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  rich British Racing Green dial of the Chief Chronograph  undergoes over  100 meticulous production steps. Its surface combines a  sunray  circular-brushed base with contrasting sub-dials finished in  fine  circular brushing. First introduced on Britain’s racing circuits  in  1903, this storied shade transforms with the light, radiating a  bright  forest green in sunlight and deepening to a rich, moody tone in  shadow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA  tachymeter scale along the internal rehaut underscores its  sporting  pedigree, while a raised 3D monogram, multi-faceted hands, and  applied  indices—treated with both brushing and sandblasting—lend  architectural  depth to the dial. Completing the composition, the  bi-compax sub-dials  provide clear legibility of elapsed minutes and  seconds, ensuring  function matches form. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeamlessly Integrated Yet Interchangeable \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  smooth rubber strap adds an elegant, sporty aesthetic to the  watch.

A column  wheel chronograph mechanism is considered to be  superior, more precise  and a lot more difficult to manufacture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlueing is a result of a  very precise heat treatment process  which is used to increase the  hardness. This process also results in  the part turning to a stunning  blue color. Even the slightest  imperfection can result in an imperfect  and uneven blue finish. In that  case, the watchmaker has to repolish and  clean the part in order to  start afresh. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisibility Under All Conditions \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  multi-finished and rhodium-plated hands and applied indexes  are  equipped with a generous application of high-performance  Super-Luminova  X1.
