The F/01 V2 takes its inspiration heavily from the iconic race cars of the 1970s. Every design detail reflects this heritage, including the crown, which is modeled after both the steering wheel and key engine components, capturing the mechanical essence of classic racing machines. The watch also features color schemes reminiscent of vintage race cars, while the specially crafted rotor in classic racing colors further enhances the retro racing character, giving the timepiece a distinctive sense of speed, style, and motorsport heritage.

The F/01 V2 is crafted entirely with Damascus steel, including the case, case back, and buckle. Each piece features a unique flowing pattern, exuding a strong sense of rhythm that embodies the spirit of racing. Key advantages of Damascus steel include:
• Exceptional durability: Highly resilient and scratch-resistant, maintaining its look over time.
• One-of-a-kind patterns: Every piece displays unique, non-replicable textures.
• Craftsmanship value: Combines traditional forging techniques with modern design for unmatched artistry.
• Lightweight and comfortable: Strong yet light, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience.
This material not only enhances the watch’s durability but also channels the speed, energy, and spirit of racing into every detail.

The dual-eye dial design draws its inspiration from the dashboards of 1970s race cars, where every gauge had both purpose and character. Beyond its strong racing aesthetics, the layout provides clear practical functions: the left sub-dial is dedicated to the Day display, while the right sub-dial presents the Month. Completing the design, the bold red calendar window positioned at 6 o’clock showcases the Date, adding both visual impact and a touch of retro racing spirit to the overall look.

The F/01 V2 is driven by the premium Japanese Miyota 9122 automatic movement, part of the esteemed 9 Series that has long stood as a symbol of trust and reliability. Operating at a high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and set with 26 jewels, it offers a smooth sweep and dependable accuracy, supported by a 40-hour power reserve. The movement also provides practical functionality with its day, date, and month displays, along with a stop-second feature for precise time setting.
What truly sets the F/01 V2 apart, however, is the custom-modified rotor designed in-house. This exclusive detail injects a unique personality and elevates the watch with a design character that is both distinctive and deeply connected to its retro racing inspiration.

F/01 V2 comes with Swiss Super-LumiNova®, applied in generous layers. The hour and minute hands feature extra-thick pad printing, while the dial indexes are fully filled with luminous material—ensuring outstanding legibility even in complete darkness.

Every F/01 V2 comes with a default genuine Italian leather strap, crafted from premium materials and detailed with perforations and stitching inspired by the golden era of vintage racing. Each strap is designed not just for comfort, but as a statement of style and heritage. Backers will also have the exclusive opportunity to add extra strap colors as campaign add-ons — making it easy to tailor your watch to every mood, outfit, and occasion.

PROTYPING PROCESS
From the design concept to the final prototype, it took us more than half a year to complete the development. The most complicated part of this journey would be the case and crown parts. We had to do different versions of prototypes just to find out the perfect combination. Quality and design don’t just come easily.
The Damascus watch case, after two rounds of modifications, has finally completed the final mold adjustments. The images above show the final shape of the watch case. The mold modifications are now complete.
