Inspired by the design, spirit, and durability of the iconic racing watches of the 1960s and 1970s, our R1 Oceanracer is an all-purpose meca-quartz timekeeper blending the aesthetics and functionality of a modern chronograph, with the durability, water resistance, and everyday practicality synonymous with our brand. Utilizing the same case proportions of our popular D4 and D5 Dive watches, the R1 Oceanracer serves as a unique blend of these function first timekeepers while adding the unmistakable flair, color, and stopwatch functionality of a racing-inspired chronograph. At its core, the R1 is an accessible yet sophisticated timepiece. The watch combines the functionality demanded by sports enthusiasts—such as a rotating 12-hour bezel —with a stylishness, and on-wrist comfort that will appeal to those looking for an all-purpose everyday wearer. The R1 Oceanracer dial, characterized by its 1970s-inspired color scheme of red, blue, yellow, black and cream delivers both readability and aesthetic appeal. Uniquely positioned as the only chronograph on the market that's both assembled in the USA and designed for everyday ocean use, the R1 Oceanracer is a great choice for those looking for a watch they can take anywhere and everywhere, that carries a compelling story of independent American craftsmanship.
