Ralph Lauren Unveils Steel Automotive Skeleton Watch
Inspired by the designer’s classic car collection.
Ralph Lauren has updated its Automotive Skeleton model, with a new steel version of the timepiece. The watch combines both polished and brushed steel, as well as luxurious Amboyna burl wood for its bezel. Other design elements of the Automotive Skelton reference classic cars, and particularly the rivets used to secure one of the Ralph Lauren’s classic race cars. The first model in the line was released back in 2015, alongside the Sporting Automotive Chronograph which drew inspiration from a 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic rumored to be valued at over $50 million USD.
Elsewhere, the new steel version features a range of the same touches as previous Automotive Skeleton watches including the size of its case and the dimensions of its hands and dial. Lastly, it is powered by a hand wound mechanical movement that has been made in Switzerland and specially customized for the American brand. The watch is set to retail for around $34,200 USD, head over to the Ralph Lauren site for more information.
