The world of cars has long been identified as one of the major sources of these stylistic feats that stand the test of time with impertinent ease, and the Testarossa is the epitome of this phenomenon – albeit one that’s particularly divisive and distinctive. Its straight, clear-cut lines and legendary side gills made their mark on the 1980s, a time when speed, insouciance, style and power were all of a piece. The whole car was just as much a beast as its engine. Paradoxically, its radical nature met with universal acclaim.
The same styling and upstart state of mind have inspired Depancel’s new 80s Serie-R whilst staying true to the original ethos of its square bestseller.
CASE
Brushed/polished 316L stainless steel case, 43 x 36 mm. Its edgy lines, sharp angles and unashamed dimensions are reminiscent of the spirit of the muscle cars and turbo engines of the 80s.
STRAP
Delivered with 2 interchangeable straps: one metal bracelet, featuring horizontal satin finish links, and one black leather strap with orange stitching.
MOVEMENT
Miyota 9110, automatic winding, day, date, 24h (AM/PM) and power reserve indication (40h)
In the 1980s, a carefree decade characterised by freedom, bright colours and brand-new shapes, it still took a special kind of chutzpah to establish the lines, colour, geometry and complete absence of curves that came to define the cars of that era. Depancel pays tribute to them with the new Serie-R 80s, an animation of its iconic case as fun as this era.

A SUPERCHARGED MOTOR
The caseback is of course transparent: just like the engine covers on some models of the italian brand. The glass reveals all the muscle of a very well-known movement in watchmaking, the automatic winding Miyota 9110. This is new to the Série-R, making this piece the first reference to use this version. For the 80s Série-R, the movement’s oscillating weight has been decorated with the brand’s signature.
A dashboard on the wrist
The use of orange places the emphasis on readability. The colour floods the entire dial, even spilling over onto the crown insert and the top stitching on the leather strap. The dial – a positive invitation to race – is framed by a brushed anthracite surface indented with the same aerodynamic, horizontal lines following on from the lines on the strap, with the result that wearers have the impression of being behind the wheel of their Testarossa, looking at their watch (dashboard) as they turn the key (crown) to bring the engine to life.
A Metal bracelet from the 80s
As was the custom 40 years ago, the flexible bracelet is horizontal and features satin-finish links. An additional leather strap, its insert sporting the same iconic horizontal lines, comes with it. An invitation to go back to the future!
MATERIALS THAT CAN WITHSTAND ANYTHING
With a strong, corrosion-proof 316L surgical steel case, a scratch-proof sapphire crystal and a top-quality leather or metal bracelet, every detail of this watch was chosen so it can keep pace with your daily adventures…
