Introducing the Nezumi X RUF Voiture
It seems like you can?t move for chronographs powered by Seiko mecaquartz engines nowadays. One tried and tested route to stand out is by giving your new line of watches a whiff of the pit lane with a link to some aspect of petrolheadery. It can sometimes feel a little contrived, but when the bloke who designs the watches has an air-cooled 911 parked in front of his office desk and Porsche posters plastering the walls, there?s going to be a lot more integrity to the deal.
RUF CTR “Yellow Bird” from 1987
Stockholm-based watch designer and Porschehead David Campo Cárdenes is a sufficiently nailed-on enthusiast that he runs his own invitation-only ?Roughneck Brigade? club for fellow Stuttgart air-cooled addicts. So it?s not a surprise that he?s collaborated with Alois and Estonia from Porsche holy-of-holies RUF to produce the new, 200 limited edition mecaquartz Nezumi VQ2S.901.Â
Part of his Voiture series of racing-influenced chronographs (originally a Kickstarter back in 2016), the VQ2S.901 continues the same tri-compax theme. The minute and 24-hour subdials are on a contrasting panda-style arrow-shaped colour from the rest of the dial with the running seconds sitting in turn on its own separate cream background.Â
Despite being a visually complicated dial, it?s easy to read at a glance – not always the case with mecaquartz-powered watches. It?s helped by contrasting sub-dials and hands. The black minute and 24 hour dials get white hands...
