In 2011, watch designer Eric Giroud challenged himself to redesign the unique case of Rebellion’s monumental RE-1 Chronograph. Seven years later, the brand wants to break free from its ad infinitum virile appearance by subtly revamping its timepiece.
Still square, strapping (the case measures 46.00mm x 56.70mm x19.60mm), and masculine, the iconic Rebellion has held on to its soul. But for 2018, the goal is to make it more refined, with finishes worthy of a watchmaker with a more contemporary style. Its honeycomb-patterned frame hugs the magnificent contours of the base of Swiss-made automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vph and offering a 48-hour power reserve.
Proud of this new sporty dial design, Rebellion offers versions of its monumental case featuring a combination of forged and braided carbon, in gold or in titanium. A subtle allusion to the original materials of race car chassis, offering both exceptional lightness and rigidity.
The RE1 2.0 Chronograph is worn on a vulcanized rubber strap in brown, black, red and blue, equipped with a folding clasp.
