The T-Race usually means a quartz chronograph, but reference T141.807.11.041.00 takes the motorcycle-inspired collection in a more mechanical direction. This is the T-Race Powermatic 80: a 41mm three-hand automatic with an 80-hour power reserve, so it will happily sit on the nightstand over a weekend and still be running on Monday morning.

The racing cues are cleverly integrated. The steel bezel is styled after a brake disc, the crown protector is shaped like a brake caliper, and a see-through caseback shows off the Powermatic 80 movement with its antimagnetic Nivachron balance spring. The blue dial with index markers and luminous hands keeps things clean and easy to read.

At 41mm and 11.28mm thick it is more compact than the chronograph models, which makes it an easier everyday fit on a wider range of wrists.
