Eska SK25 Heritage Chronograph, £1,869
Motorsport has changed a lot over the years as technology develops, but there’s nothing so evocative and beautiful as a vintage race car. That’s what inspires the ESKA SK25 Heritage Chronograph which brings a retro flair to a bicompax chronograph design powered by the La Joux-Perret L113 manual movement. It looks particularly good in its neo-vintage style cream dial edition.
