PRODUCT MOVIE
Special colors evoking the look of the team’s rally car
The watch features a black and red color scheme inspired by the Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport, the car raced by TLC in the Dakar Rally. IP is applied to the metal bezel as part of the overall black look, which is set off with red accents, including the red line decorating the button at 3 o’clock and side surfaces. The design evokes the toughness of a racing machine capable of delivering in harsh conditions across an approximately 10,000-km course.
Band design capturing the desert setting of the rally
Designed to capture the feel of racing through desert sands, the sand-colored band is printed with a black splatter pattern that evokes tracks left by speeding racers. IP in the same brown hue is also applied to the guard for the front button.
Official logo to commemorate a special collaboration
As a symbolic design for the official watch actually used in the rally, the band and case back are adorned with the Team Land Cruiser logo. Even more, when the LED backlight is illuminated, a TLC graphic appears on the LCD.
Attention to materials
Key resin components used in the case and band are made with bio-based resin. Produced using renewable organic resources, this material is expected to help reduce environmental impact. Recycled materials are used for the special packaging, as well.

Tough design to stand up to demanding use
The solid, rugged exterior design features a multi-component structure and independent front button. Incorporating cut glass with a special glass adhesion method and a Carbon Core Guard structure, the watch has a smaller, slimmer form that delivers everything you want — durability, operability, and a highly comfortable fit.

Duplex LCD: Delivering improved compass readability
The top layer of the LCD provides a graphical compass display, while the bottom layer provides large measurement and time displays. The LCD has also been made slimmer to minimise bulk, even while being dual-layer.

Mud-resistant structure to withstand use in the harshest conditions
The front button and three direct sensor buttons feature large, easy-to-operate forms designed to keep mud and water out. The buttons are protected by cylindrical stainless-steel parts, and the button shafts are equipped with gasket fittings to prevent contamination with mud and dust.
