Strapped to the wrist of motor-racing driver Paul Belmondo, the Orsay Black Racing chronograph has taken part since its 2005 launch in such legendary competitions as the Paris-Dakar rally of the Le Mans 24 Hours race. Inspired by the “beautiful cars” of the 1970s, the vintage spirit of the Orsay Black Racing 2009 is revealed in particularly meticulous finishing such as a dial alternating smooth, guilloché or brushed surfaces and a perforated strap with red overstitching. Powered by a 1/10th second chronograph movement and available in steel or black PVD-coated versions, this model is issued in a limited series of 250.
