Depancel – Allure D[R]IVER Calendar

Depancel ALLURE D[r]iver Calendar 39 mm 2025

 From Road to Waves: Elegance at Full Throttle
Depancel Introduces the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar

Between sea and asphalt, between nostalgia and modernity, Depancel introduces the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar: a timepiece crafted for thrill-seekers, lovers of timeless elegance, and free spirits. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Channeling the adrenaline-fueled glamour of the 70s and 80s, where Cigarette boats and race cars ruled the scene, this new model fuses performance, precision, and flair.

The Inspiration: The Golden Age of Speed, Freedom and Iconic Style

The 70s and 80s were decades of raw power and bold aesthetics — an era when everything was faster, louder, freer, and limits were there to be surpassed. Cigarette boats became icons of excess and elegance, race cars blurred the lines between danger and desire, and the men behind them became legends.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The Allure D[R]IVER Calendar taps directly into that high-octane spirit. It pays homage to that free-spirited ethos with the unmistakable aura of the Cigarette Racing Team’s glory days.

More than a vintage tribute, it’s a declaration of intent — for those who don’t wait for permission. Who push further, faster, stronger. A bold salute to freedom, speed, and style.

Sport-Chic, Engineered for Action

With its integrated 39 mm case, the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar combines clean, muscular lines with a refined edge. Designed for those who crave speed and control, it moves seamlessly between seaside marinas and racetrack paddocks.

Robust but never bulky, it exemplifies functional elegance. The integrated bracelet sits flush with the case, offering discreet yet highly effective comfort. Every detail is crafted to keep pace with enthusiasts who demand both performance and distinction in every setting.

A Dial that Bridges Land and Sea

The textured dial immediately commands attention. Its precise finish catches the light with lively reflections, evoking both the rolling swell of the sea and the sun-bleached grit of asphalt. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Every detail speaks to the meeting point of two worlds: mechanical power on land and freedom on water.

The model comes in two variations: a deep ocean blue, and a bold two-tone red-and-black — a direct nod to the signature livery of Cigarette boats, symbols of performance and style. For an added sporty edge, the watch can also be paired with a robust rubber strap.

Applied indexes and dashboard-inspired hands ensure crisp, intuitive legibility, while luminescent treatment guarantees visibility in all conditions — whether cornering at speed or chasing the horizon at sea. This dial is a promise: a watch built for adventure, wherever it leads.

Built to Brave the Elements

Rugged and reliable, the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar is water-resistant to 100 meters.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Its solid construction, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and functional bezel make it ready for anything: spontaneous swims, high-speed crossings, or a sudden downpour. Uncompromising elegance, built for those who refuse to choose between performance and style.

The Movement: Tried, Tested and Trusted

At the core of the Allure D[R]IVER beats the Miyota 9122, a distinguished Japanese automatic movement celebrated for its robustness and precision.

A proven powerhouse, it offers smooth operation, everyday reliability, and easy maintenance — a guarantee of long-term performance, true to Depancel’s spirit of creating high-performance watches designed to last.
