TW Steel werkt samen met Dario Franchitti

TW Steel, the Dutch watchmaker specializing in oversized watches, has unveiled the fruits of its collaboration with brand ambassador Dario Franchitti in the form of the 'TW Steel Dario Franchitti' execution set to retail in early July. Franchitti, two-time IndyCar Series Champion and the 2007 Indianapolis 500 winner, took a personal role in the design and development of the TW607 (45mm) and TW608 (48mm) editions that bare his name and reflect his passion for watches. Based on TW Steel's existing TECH style, the 'Dario Franchitti' edition is made of high-grade 316L steel featuring black PVD-coated screws on the bezel. The pillars that connect the bezel and the case-back are similarly adorned with black PVD. Franchitti's famous helmet colours of blue, green and red based on the Scottish and Italian flags to reflect his heritage, also feature boldly on the watch along with his leading race car numbers. On the striking black dial the number 10, Dario's current race car number with Target Chip Ganassi Racing and the one he carried to his 2009 IndyCar Series title success, is highlighted in red, while the numbers 2 and 7 are equally stunning in green in recognition of the '27' he carried on his race car on the way to his first IndyCar Series title and his 'Indy 500' victory in 2007. 'Franchitti' appears in blue on the tachymeter ring while Dario's logo, signature and title successes feature on the case-back recognizing one of the leading talents of the IZOD IndyCar Series.
