The Graham Silverstone RS Racing Chronograph Watch: A Celebration of Speed and Style
A Tribute to Motorsport Heritage
Inspired by the thoroughbreds of motor racing, the new Graham Silverstone RS Racing Chronograph watch embodies the spirit and aesthetics of this fast-moving, high-octane world. Here, speed, colour, and drama set the adrenaline running. Pinpoint timing accuracy is of paramount importance in this thrilling environment.
Brimming with motorsport-inspired details, the watch features carbon fibre, dashboard-styled numerals, and even a brake disc on the dial. The Silverstone RS Racing chronograph is an unashamed tribute to competition and the home of British motor racing.
Design and Aesthetics
Weighing in at a hefty 46mm, this piece of brushed and polished stainless steel is anything but understated. The outgoing blue and red colour scheme ensures that the Silverstone RS Racing makes a bold statement. Its superb construction gives it a solid feel, packing a prominent presence on the wrist.
The dark blue bezel and inner blue minutes ring have a distinctive glazed appearance, thanks to the resin composite from which they are made. The tachymetre scale on the bezel allows for precise speed measurement between two points on the racetrack.
Dial Features
Under the domed sapphire crystal, the blue dial showcases a subtle chequered effect. Large Arabic numerals and pronounced steel hands are coated with white Super LumiNova, ensuring low-light legibility of the principal functions.
Two red and white ringed recessed subdials are stacked vertically in a dashboard style at the 12 and 6 positions, serving as the 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters, respectively. At the 9, the small seconds subdial is replaced with a cool rotating drilled ‘brake disc’. The day and date windows are generously sized and highlighted with a red surround, making them practical inclusions on this busy dial.
Movement and Functionality
Behind a sapphire crystal caseback beats Graham’s reliable G1749 automatic self-winding movement. This movement delivers energy at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph) for up to 48 hours. Visible through the transparent exhibition caseback, the drilled rotor revolves above the matte and polished components within.
Strap and Wearability
The Graham Silverstone RS Racing chronograph is presented on an integrated blue tyre tread-styled natural rubber strap. It is fitted with a steel pin buckle and comes with a brushed and polished stainless steel link bracelet with a folding clasp. This ensures that the watch is quick and easy to put on or remove.
