Filippo Loreti, who has been slowly building an empire of quality watches since their inception (in 2015), has taken their horological skills and implemented them into timepieces that celebrate the 75th anniversary of NHRA (National Hot Rod Association). For the following review, I will focus my attention on the White Stripes Chronograph model – carry on reading for more.
Style & Design
If you are a fan of drag racing and a keen watch enthusiast, then splashing out on this timepiece is a no-brainer! The bracelet and body are bathed in a perfect blend of silver and yellow-gold metal, paired with a blue bezel and face, with a white strip running vertically from the top to the bottom (the NHRA logo is positioned in the lower half, just above the date display).
One of the first elements you will appreciate is the weighty feel of the watch (which in itself signals that you are holding something of quality) – many alternative brands are guilty of building lightweight (and therefore prone to impact damage) models.
Even though the choice of colours is certainly bold, you will be able to rock this timepiece with both casual and formal attire. Whether it is a leather jacket, denim jeans, and boots combo or a tailored blazer, trousers, and lace-up Oxfords ensemble, this NHRA X Filippo Loreti Stripe Chronograph will elevate your style stakes.
Mechanism
The stripe chronograph boasts an impressive set of internal and external parts, to create a truly great timepiece – here are the detailed specifications –
- Case material: stainless steel case with blue bezel
- Strap material: Black rubber or two-tone stainless steel bracelet
- Movement: VK64 Chronograph Movement
- Water resistance: 100M Water Resistance
- Case diameter: 42mm
- Case thickness: 13.4mm
- Hands: Luminous hands and indexes
- Glass: Sapphire-coated mineral glass
- Dial: Blue sunray brushed dial
- Caseback: Stainless steel casing with embossed pattern and engraved 75 NHRA logo.
Packaging
The box is nothing short of spectacular (the perfect complement to the quality accessory) – the outer sleeve features the NHRA logo on a solid, deep red background, with black lines along the sides that create an eye-catching design. Removing this outer cardboard reveals a sturdy black box with a spot-varnished Filippo Loretta logo, which uses a magnetic lid closure. Beneath this final section, you will find your brand-new, shiny timepiece, securely held in place (the extra links are neatly tucked away).
Value For Money
Despite the premium quality provided by Filippo Loreti, the cost is more than reasonable at £265 ($299), which is not wallet-busting! (Although it is far from a budget entry). You will receive something that looks the part and sits pretty on your stylish nightstand, next to your growing array of designer goods.
Overall
If you are a big follower of hot rod racing and magnificent timepieces, then investing in this NHRA X Filippo Loreti Stripe Chronograph makes perfect sense – you will be able to enjoy something that throws out splashes of style in every direction, built from the ground up with top-tier internal parts, and is available at a strong marketplace price point.
