GRAHAM’s high-levels of ambition have materialized with the new generation of Silverstone RS collection. Advanced technology, daring machining processes and human endeavour have been brought together to create fast and furious watch making pieces.

 

GRAHAM SILVERSTONE RS COLLECTION

 

Race masters

 

In the mosaic of the GRAHAM collection, we have created three milestone collections. Excelling in performance the Silverstone RS Endurance, Supersprint and Skeleton adopt the same high-level of cutting-edge technology and racing codes.

 

SILVERSTONE RS ENDURANCE 24HR

 

The new generation of Silverstone chronographs bring unprecedented performance with the Silverstone Endurance 24HR. For the first time, this piece of technology proposes a dissociated time measurement of 24 hour race and lap times. GRAHAM has developed amono-pusher movement with a double chronograph function which meets endurance racing requirements.

   

Functionality is improved with usage. The main measurement of lap time is operated by a start/stop/reset chronograph button which activates the minutes and seconds counting, identifiable with the red rubber catch. The number of lap times that can be measured is limitless as it functions in an independent manner.

 

A second measurement is operated thanks to a secondary chronograph with 24HR counter and flyback, activated with the 24HR red pusher. This double function is the perfect fast-action system, ideal for Endurance racing and dual timekeeping test drives.

 

 

Through a play of alluring semi-transparency, the black-smoked dial is enhanced with touches of red to identify the 24 hour counter and striped date disc which recalls race track’s painted white and red kerbing edges and finally the tachymeter scale of the bezel. The black diamond-like coated (DLC) watch bears racing features, a ceramic bezel and integrated tire tread rubber strap with red inset. The seconds counter is automobile brake disc-shaped to ensure dynamic reading of the sweep seconds.

 

Our racing experience is unquestionable. Created by passion and outlined by Eric Loth, GRAHAM Founder and experienced racing driver, the Silverstone RS Endurance 24HR brings together all the codes of racing to provide high wear resistance.

46 mm steel with black DLC (diamond-like carbon) case, calibre G1751 automatic chronograph, mono-pusher movement with chronograph function for minutes and seconds and additional chronograph for 24 hour counter with flyback (independent working), date at 9 o’clock with white and red striped disc date referring to race track’s painted white and red kerbing edges, 25 jewels, 28’800 A/h (4Hz), Incabloc shock absorber, 48 hour power reserve, black ceramic bezel with red tachymeter scale, red aluminium ring under the bezel with “Clous de Paris”, black-smoked openwork dial, 24HR counter, automobile brake disc-shaped seconds counter with red indicator, sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coating on both faces, smoked sapphire crystal case back with limited edition serial number, integrated black tire tread rubber with red inset, limited edition of 250.

 

 

SILVERSTONE RS ENDURANCE 12HR

 

Racing beauty. There is no better place than a race circuit to talk about endurance. The manly tri-compax Silverstone RS endurance 12HR chronograph is the top speed wrist machine designed for Gentlemen drivers. Performance and thrill guaranteed.

 

The tri-compax chronograph knows what racing is all about. The black-smoked openwork dial features a 12HR, minutes and automobile brake disc-shaped second counter. The shiny ceramic bezel with its orange tachymeter scale gives the watch its vivid personality. Let’s hit the road again.

 

Date and brake disc-shaped seconds counter. Orange ring under the bezel with “Clous de Paris”. Tachymeter scale on the bezel.

 

Main features also include:

Silverstone RS Endurance 12HR

46 mm steel with black PVD case, calibre G1735 automatic tri-compax chronograph, date at 9 o’clock with white and orange striped disc date referring to race track’s painted kerbing edges, 25 jewels, 28’800 A/h (4Hz), Incabloc shock absorber, 46 hour power reserve, black ceramic bezel with orange tachymeter scale, orange aluminium ring under the bezel with “Clous de Paris”, black-smoked openwork dial, automobile brake disc-shaped seconds counter with orange indicator, sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coating on both faces, smoked sapphire crystal case back, integrated black tire tread rubber with orange inset.

 

 

SILVERSTONE RS SUPERSPRINT

 

Precision is the key in racing. The Silverstone RS Supersprint features high-level performance to become a hybrid of first class watch making and world-beating motorsport. With a 1/8th second mirror graduation scale, you will be able to read the time without parallax error by aligning the central second hand on its own reflection on the circular mirror.

 

With its 42 mm steel case, the Supersprint is the most energetic and self-confident model of the Silverstone RS collection. With a new ergonomic case which consists of a 42 mm middle, the watch appears with a wider personality thanks to a 44 mm bezel. This double configuration enables a perfect match on every wrist.

 

The main revolution with the Silverstone RS Supersprint is the presence of a mirror graduation around the dial. The use of the mirror is the professional solution to ensure exact reading. When the red chrono hand stops, you can read time on the 1/8th seconds scale thanks to the mirror. The second hand placed on top of its reflection will give an accurate measurement.

 

 

Silverstone RS Supersprint:

42 mm steel case, calibre G1702 automatic chronograph, date at 6 o’clock, 59 jewels, 28’800 A/h (4Hz), Incabloc shock absorber, 40 hour power reserve, black ceramic bezel with grey tachymeter scale, red aluminium ring under the bezel with “Clous de Paris”, black-smoked openwork dial, minute scale with 1/8th second mirror graduation which allows accurate chrono reading in the reflection, sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coating on both faces, see-through sapphire crystal case back, integrated black tire tread rubber with red inset.

 

 

SILVERSTONE RS SKELETON

 

With care and pinpoint precision, GRAHAM has gone beyond modern racing to introduce a new generation of Silverstone watches. The beautiful shapes of the Silverstone RS Skeleton series have been inspired by the origins of racing. The Silverstone “RennSport” Skeleton collection features an evocative technique and design worthy of the most powerful German motorsport technology. At full speed, the watch rivals the accuracy and efficiency of automobile mechanics, in high-end watch making. The line is crowned with the black and gold version. Auf die Stelle, fertig, los.

 

 

Main features also include:

46 mm steel with black DLC (diamond-like carbon) case, calibre G1790, automatic skeleton chronograph, shaded grey, rhodium and gold (18K) movement with hand-drawn strokes decoration, 29 jewels, 28’800 A/h (4Hz), Incabloc shock absorber, 46 hour power reserve, black ceramic bezel with tachymeter scale, lateral porthole on the case at 10 o’clock to admire the escapement and balance wheel, gold (18K) crown secured by a bayonet system and red safety ring, gold (18K) knurled aluminium ring under the bezel, black dial, sapphire crystal with GRAHAM inscription, anti-reflective coating on both faces, see-through sapphire crystal case back.

 

 

About GRAHAM

GRAHAM traces its origins to London clockmaker George Graham (1673-1751) who is considered as the father of modern watch making. He is known as the father of the chronograph as he invented the start and stop device of the chronograph, the dead-beat and cylinder escapement, the mercury pendulum to compensate the influence of temperature on pendulums, to name a few. He also built the master clock for Greenwich Royal Observatory which timed most of the 18th century and lots of science instruments for astronomers and physicists. GRAHAM was revived in 1995 and is today a privately owned Swiss watch company. GRAHAM SA creates and manufactures its watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
