The Ralph Lauren Automotive collection recalls the daring sporting nature of racing enthusiasts and the artful elegance of classic automotive design. Inspired by Ralph Lauren’s own 1938 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic Coupe, our 45 MM Ceramic Automotive watch features a distinctive outer elm burl wood dial reminiscent of the coveted car’s wooden dashboard and Arabic numerals that emulate those found on its vintage gauges.

Housed in a black matte ceramic case with an adjustable link bracelet, this self-winding timepiece features a matte galvanic dial with elapsed-time counters, a date display, a stop/start button and a printed tachymeter scale. This water-resistant chronograph has a power reserve of up to 65 hours that’s driven by a RL751A/1 caliber manufacture movement. Renowned and respected for his preservation of classic cars, Ralph Lauren combines a passion for speed and beauty in this collection, incorporating the ingenuity of fine engineering and captivating masculine design.
