The Belgian Watchmaker, passionate about motor sports, pays tribute to its country, by designing a new Automatic chronograph, incorporating together the codes of The United Kingdom of Belgium and the Racing history, in a limited edition of 55 timepieces.

A yellow dial embracing the 3 black eyes of the chronograph to set up the scenario of the United Kingdom of Belgium and to recall that in the early 1900s until the late 1960s; vehicles competing in Formula One, sports car racing, touring car racing and other international events, painted their cars in standardized racing colours to indicate the country of origin. At the 11th index, Raidillon honors the Belgian flag by adding a black-yellow-red index instead of the legendary 55.

Below the transparent glass on the back of the case, Raidillon engraves its name in yellow on the top of the rotor. The Rally racing wrist straps in eco leather, hand-sewed in Belgium with yellow stitches, fly back in history to give a glimpse to the steering wheel and racing gloves.
