Introducing the unworn Chopard Classic Racing Superfast Split Second Men’s Watch, Ref# 168542-3001 — a high-octane fusion of motorsport spirit and Swiss watchmaking precision, limited to just 1000 pieces. Engineered with a bold 45mm stainless steel case coated in black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon), this timepiece offers exceptional scratch resistance and a stealthy, performance-driven aesthetic. The case’s commanding presence is matched by a 15.38mm thickness, giving it a powerful wrist presence worthy of the racetrack. The black dial is engraved with a dramatic deep linear pattern, creating visual motion that mirrors the speed-driven inspiration behind the design. The raised inner flange features grey minute and seconds markers, red fractions-of-a-second tracks, and shadowed grey 5-minute Arabic numerals—all built for instant, high-contrast readability. Polished blackened steel index markers and steel-rimmed hands—both with luminous fill—ensure legibility at a glance. At the heart of the dial beats the chronograph complication, complete with a split-seconds function operated by a rubber-clad pusher at 8 o’clock. A large central red seconds hand overlays a white split-seconds hand, offering pinpoint timing accuracy. Sub-dials include a 30-minute counter at 12, a 12-hour counter at 6, and a small running seconds sub-dial 9 o’clock, with a raised date sub-dial at 3 o’clock. Designed with both function and flair, the chronograph pushers and crown are clad in black rubber, offering enhanced grip and a sporty aesthetic. Adding a distinctive touch, the crown is adorned with a polished steel “Classic Racing Steering Wheel” emblem, a signature nod to Chopard’s passion for motorsport heritage. Framing the dial is a fixed stainless steel bezel engraved with a tachymeter scale, reinforcing its motorsport DNA. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the case, while the solid engraved case back proudly displays its Classic Racing heritage and limited edition status. Powered by a COSC-certified Swiss automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vph with 27 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve, this timepiece doesn’t just look fast—it performs with precision. Completing the look is a black ribbed calfskin strap with contrasting red stitching, secured by a DLC-coated steel deployant clasp. With 100m/330ft water resistance, the Superfast Split Second is built to handle the pressure—on or off the track.
