Depancel unveils the Allure Autosport

Depancel pays tribute to the golden age of motorsport with the launch of the Allure Autosport. Blending retro racing aesthetics with modern precision, the collection captures the spirit of the 1960s and 70s gentlemen drivers - bold on the track, effortlessly elegant off it. Available in three classic colorways - Silver, Blue, and British Racing Green - the Allure Autosport is a timepiece built for those who live fast, with style.

n the 1960s and 70s, racetracks roared with the sound of engines, and drivers like James Hunt, Jackie Stewart, and Niki Lauda embodied a unique lifestyle: daring on the track, naturally elegant off it. Cigarette in hand, aviator sunglasses firmly in place, these men lived life at full throttle, without compromise. The Allure Autosport draws its soul from this flamboyant era: a watch for those who live fast, with flair.

With its round case and finishes inspired by vintage chronographs, the Allure Autosport reinvents the codes of classic racing. Its metallic dials, crafted to capture the light, echo the analog gauges of legendary cockpits. Every detail, from the applied indices to the luminescent hands, strikes a perfect balance between style and functionality.

The Allure Autosport comes with a hand-crafted, perforated leather racing strap, easily interchangeable thanks to a quick-release system.

Three versions are available:

  • Silver: a technical, metallic shade, paying tribute to German engineering.
  • Blue: a nod to French racing teams and the tricolor spirit.
  • British Racing Green: the legendary color of English racing cars.

Behind its aesthetic inspired by the paddocks of the past, the Allure Autosport houses a Japanese automatic movement celebrated for its robustness and reliability. With a 40-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,000 vibrations per hour, it features bi-directional winding for optimal efficiency.
