A new racing-inspired chronograph watch has been launched via Indiegogo this month in the form of the Ranomo, built by Monsieur Watches. Early bird pledges are now available from $109 or roughly £97 with worldwide delivery expected to take place in a few months’ time during August 2020.
Design and Inspiration
“Providing affordable watches with quality is what Monsieur Watches aim for with each series. Ranomo is coined with two words in mind ‘Racing and Monochrome’. The bold, classic, and rounded features symbolize racing around bends on a track. The monochromatic look is characterized by the black and white choice of dials in this iconic series. The Panda and Reverse Panda dials will always make one take a second look, and that’s exactly what we want to emulate with our rendition of a classic.”
The Ranomo watch is not just a timepiece; it is a tribute to the golden era of racing. The Panda and Reverse Panda dials are a nod to the classic chronographs of the 70s, which were known for their distinctive and easily recognizable designs. These dials feature contrasting sub-dials that stand out against the main dial, making them not only functional but also visually striking. The watch’s design is meant to evoke the thrill and excitement of racing, with its bold lines and dynamic aesthetic.
Features and Specifications
The Ranomo chronograph watch is packed with features that make it a standout in its category. It includes a high-precision quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch also features a durable stainless steel case, which provides both strength and a sleek, polished look. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, ensuring that the watch remains clear and easy to read even after years of use.
The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear, including swimming and showering. The chronograph function allows for precise time measurement, which is essential for racing enthusiasts and anyone who needs to track time accurately. The watch also includes a date function, adding to its practicality.
“Inspired by the chronographs of the 70s where racing and the smell of burning asphalt was a staple. These watches were easily distinguishable from other vintage models. A glance at the owner’s wrist was enough to see the model he was wearing. Many classics were made during this period, and it is time to bring them back with a modern twist.”
The Ranomo watch captures the essence of the 70s racing chronographs while incorporating modern technology and materials. This blend of vintage inspiration and contemporary innovation makes the Ranomo a unique and desirable timepiece. The watch’s design and functionality are a testament to Monsieur Watches’ commitment to quality and attention to detail.
The Ranomo chronograph watch is a perfect blend of classic design and modern functionality. It offers a stylish and practical option for watch enthusiasts and racing fans alike. With its affordable price point and high-quality construction, the Ranomo is set to become a favorite among those who appreciate the art of watchmaking.
