Bravur Team Heritage Str

Now, Bravur, the Watch brand of Swedish Båstad, has created enough cycling-themed watches to offer a complete properoton. This is not a complaint or a frivolous statement, but a neutral observation. And the observations create enthusiasm. As a cyclist, I praise the cycling watch that did well. Now you can be on the breakaway using the Bravur Heritage Team Str, which features dials in the colours of the historic Centrafael Cycling Team Kit.

Named after sponsors of French aperitif brands in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Centrafael Cycling Team was a force to consider. Directeur Sportif Raphaël Géminiani led the team with legendary rider Jacques Anquetil, the winner of France’s first five Tour De France. Anquetil’s nickname was “Monsieur Chrono.” Between 1953 and 1966 he won the Grand Prix Des Nations, a famous and tough 140km time trial race of more than nine times. When tied down to the Bravur Team Heritage STR, you can feel like a monsieur chrono. Monsieur Chrono was not just a cyclist, but also a stylish bombivant. This clock looks great on the breakaway and on the sunny terraces of Provence, sipping St. Raphael on the rocks.

Break away with Bravur Team Heritage Str

Sitting on the wheels of Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Pro Cycling Edition and Breitling Top Time B01 Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali Les, this is another powerful watch from Bravur. Team Heritage STR will take part in existing Peugeot, Renault and Mercier models and will be delivered in vibrant colors reminiscent of the Centrafael Cycling Team Kit. The red and blue circles on the sparkling silver-white dial mimic the colour of the jersey, and are vivid and a bit hypnotized. The applied indexes are met with Super Luminova BGW9, ensuring readability in all conditions.

Apart from the colour, the small “cycling cap” at 6 o’clock gives the wearer “morale”. I may be biased, but I think the structure will work. The colours are fresh and beautiful, and the design is a borderline gimmick, but I think it will probably appeal to cycling watch fans as well. When I write down “non-cycling fans,” I think of Tim Krabe’s famous novel The Rider. The Cycling author states, “June 26, 1977, Meyrueis, Lozère. It’s hot and cloudy. I take my car out of the car and put the bike together. Tourists and locals look out of the sidewalk cafe.

“Groupset” of Serrata that matches the “frame” of steel

The Team Heritage STR 316L steel case has a diameter of 37mm, but this is not just a classic, it’s small enough to give you a comfortable wearing experience without any trouble while cycling. It is water resistant to 100 meters, so you can also take a shower after boarding. Group Set – Sorry, Movement – Bravur chose this watch for the automatic 4Hz Sellita SW200-1 with a 41-hour power reserve. It’s a totally difficult choice. I don’t buy this watch because of the movement, but it’s good to know that it has a robust caliber that relaxes steadily when pressing gears increase.

If you go to the Bravur website, you will find that Team Heritage STR is available in either steel or black PVD steel cases. You can also choose from a variety of FKM rubber and leather straps, as well as steel Milanese mesh bracelets. The price is USD 1,195 / €1,305.95, but before paying it and building your brand at a workshop in Båstad, Sweden, take a look at Bravur Cycling Couture as well. We recommend completing the look with a crisp, matching kit.
