For those who live for the roar of the engine and the bold aesthetics of the classic American muscle cars, the REC V-Eight Watch (£485) in Highland Green is a must-have addition to your collection. Inspired by the golden age of American V8 muscle cars from 1964 to 1972, this timepiece pays homage to the power and spirit of these iconic machines. REC has over a decade of expertise in crafting muscle car-inspired watches, and the V-Eight is a culmination of that journey—combining style, precision, and the thrill of the open road.
The V-Eight Watch features a robust Miyota cal. 9132 movement, offering both automatic and manual winding. With 26 jewels and a power reserve of 40 hours, this movement ensures reliability, accuracy, and the excitement of seeing the energy you impart as you wear it. The hacking seconds mechanism and self-winding capability bring a sophisticated touch to the timepiece, with an accuracy of ±10 seconds per day and a high-frequency beat of 28,800 bph (4Hz). REC has designed the V-Eight to seamlessly blend functionality with a sense of adventure.
The bold design of the V-Eight Watch is inspired by the aesthetics of the golden age muscle cars, with a striking four-piece cushion case featuring black PVD coating and stamped sides that add a touch of rugged elegance. The power reserve indicator sits proudly at 12 o’clock, allowing you to easily track how much energy remains in the watch, while the 24-hour indicator is located at 6 o’clock, providing a clear and functional display. The hands and indexes are filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 Blue, ensuring that the watch is easily readable, even in low-light conditions.
The V-Eight Highland Green colourway is an unmistakable nod to the iconic livery of the classic muscle cars, a symbol of power and speed. The quick-release strap system allows for easy versatility, letting you switch up the style as you wish. With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters), this timepiece is built to handle everyday adventures, from the bustling city to weekend getaways.
Part of REC’s Core Collection, the V-Eight Watch focuses on delivering outstanding value without using repurposed materials or complex Swiss movements, unlike the Limited Collection. The V-Eight builds on the success of previous series, such as the TURBO and TOURER, which drew inspiration from the turbocharged era of the 1980s and the grand tourers of the 1960s. The V-Eight Series channels the essence of the American muscle car, delivering a timepiece experience as exhilarating as the cars that inspired it.
Backed by a 36-month warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, the REC V-Eight Watch offers peace of mind with every purchase. For those who are not completely satisfied, REC provides a full refund or exchange—no questions asked. The REC V-Eight Highland Green Watch is a fitting tribute to the golden era of muscle cars, crafted for those who seek both style and functionality in their everyday wear. Strap on the V-Eight, and take a piece of automotive history with you on every adventure.
