GEMINI
RACER SPECIAL EDITION
The classic sports chronograph.
The Racer Special Edition is stripped down but amped up, as any good racing machine should be. The asymmetrical dial layout highlights the chronograph function, while bold colors evoke the energy of the track.
The Racer features the new 5-link Epsilon bracelet and its own new handset. Like the standard Gemini Series II, the Racer sports a luminous acrylic bezel insert, a more durable version of the Bakelite rings commonly used in the ‘50s. Additionally, it has the slightly shortened 46mm lugs and repositioned lug holes (minimizing the gap when worn with a 2-piece strap).

A NEW CLASSIC
The legend of mechanical chronographs can be traced to a time when they were worn by the most daring. They were there when boundaries were pushed, records broken, and history made. While handwound movements have largely been phased out, the romance remains.
The striking yet utilitarian design, the tactile feel of engaging pushers, the mechanical, not-quite-perfectly-smooth sweep of the chronograph evoke an era when anything seemed possible.
Shown further down on a 6 in. wrist.
OLD-SCHOOL COOL
Just like its forebears, the Gemini sports a Hesalite crystal. It's stood the test of time on the wrists of race car drivers, pilots, and astronauts. It has a distinct clarity and charm sapphire just can't replicate.
Afraid of scratches? The Gemini includes a Polywatch tube and polishing cloth to keep it looking like new.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
The Gemini uses BGW9 Superluminova on its hands, markers and bezel for a beautiful blue glow and superior low-light visibility.
PROUDLY MECHANICAL
Inside the Gemini ticks the Seagull ST19. As the direct successor to the Venus 175, it's genuinely amazing that this old-school movement is still being produced, at an accessible price to boot.
There is no other mechanical chronograph movement that can compete in terms of its price/performance ratio. Its column wheel means that chronograph action feels crisp, and it has proven good reliability given proper casing and QC.

THE INSPIRATION
The allure of chronographs is that people actually used them—and with panache.
