Drive Timer

Has anyone got or tried on a Drive Timer? How do they wear?

I saw this article and think they look pretty good:

I liked it too, however they sold out in Australia before I got a chance to try one on.

It's a nice watch, but a 43mm without a bezel, it is quite large.
If you are used to the larger Carreras and other >41mm watches - it's not of a problem.

Isn't Drive Timer what the new Carrera Heuer 01 has on the dial, the Red Bull one?

 

[Mr_Orange]

Yes.

I wasn't really aware of this watch, it's one I might have dismissed as a fake had it turned up in 'that' thread... it's quite nice though.

Definitely not a fake.

I think Id be ok with the size, I wear a 44mm aquaracer a lot. Really I need to find one in stock somewhere to try on!

No I know, I just wasn't aware of it, and it doesn't 'look' particularly TAGy.

 

[elbeik]

It doesn't look like a mutant, you mean.

Well, no... but it would look better on a nice rubber strap.

It looks very TAG to me. A clear, legible dial, good design and colour coordination.

I think the Muhamad Ali edition is based on the same watch.

Goes to tell you the Drive Timer is very underrated.

Yes, I was thinking that myself...

I think so as well. At 22mm lug width, the tire pattern rubber strap of a Carrera would work well.

I think you're messing with me...

The Ali watch also shows how wrong a design can go and how to ruin the original concept of the Drive Timer.

LOL ! Exactly what i thought. Now that someone remind us of this drive time, it wasn't that bad as the Ali version (no offence to the Legend himself).

Not at all; at least not with this one
