Its smart appearance aside, this refined timepiece does not skimp on functionality with its water resistance of 500m as well as Super Luminova coated hands and indexes for optimal readability. Limited to 500 pieces.

Aside from rudimentary embellishments such as his emblazoned signature and logo, this all black number also features a chockfull of thoughtful personalized details such as the red and white second hand that recalls the colors of his home country, Japan, and the openings in the dial fashioned after the breathing slits in his helmet.
Matched in power by its automatic Oris 635 movement, the timepiece also bears a layered, two-piece black dial with printed indexes and a date and day display at ‘3′ for an athletic overlay. Clad in a dark, menacing shell, the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated stainless steel piece screams with sporty elements such as its F1 tyre imprinted rubber strap and the highlighted ‘8′ numeral on the minute scale (Kazuki’s number).
Limited to 1,088 pieces, this robust number is not for the faint-hearted. And in case you want to hit the sea after the tracks, this watch is water resistant up to 100m.
