The watch pays homage to Portugal’s iconic Estoril circuit, the most prestigious of the Iberian Historic Endurance series. The dial takes inspiration from the vibrant colors of the Lotus 97T, the car Ayrton Senna famously drove to his first Portuguese Grand Prix victory at Estoril in 1985.

While the silver-coloured hour and minute hands and the small seconds counter hand at 9 o’clock are all leaf-shaped, the hands fitted to the 30-minutes counter and the 12 hours counter at 6 o’clock are presented in black with a prominent triangular tip.
