The crown features a coaxial pushbutton recalling the chronographs from the ‘30s. The case has a hinged double caseback that can be opened with a special vertical sliding pushbutton.

On the internal part of the back cover are depicted a stylised reproduction of Nuvolari’s legendary tortoise, the driver’s initials and there is also space to apply an individual dedication. The finely machined movement is revealed through a sapphire glass with Tazio Nuvolari’s signature.

The 42 mm diameter of the circular watch case is generous, it is waterproof to 30 metres and it has a dial particularly striking, with a design that recalls dashboard instruments of vintage sports cars.
