The story behind this Designa Individual Watches Daytona Desert Eagle
The House of Designa Individual Watches has been pushing the boundaries of watchmaking customisation since its inception. Founded by 2 brothers with a passion for cutting-edge composites, it transforms iconic timepieces into singular works of art. The creation of this limited series responds to a precise horological fantasy: to radically lighten the world's most famous racing chronograph while preserving its original mechanical integrity. The technical challenge behind this numbered edition lies in the complex machining of forged carbon fibre. This aerospace material reduces the weight of the case by more than half compared to traditional steel. Wearing this piece offers an illusion of absolute lightness on the wrist, combined with an extremely desirable stealth aesthetic.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Daytona Desert Eagle
The case boasts an ideal diameter of 40 mm for a thickness measured at 12.5 mm. It is entirely sculpted from carbon fibre, revealing a dark damask pattern specific to each layer of material. This dark block contrasts magnificently with the winding crown, screwed push-pieces and hands, which are crafted in solid 18-carat gold. A sapphire crystal protects a matt sand-coloured dial, enlivened by 3 copper-tinted sunray counters. The solid, engraved caseback protects the Manufacture Calibre 4130 chronograph movement. This mechanical self-winding heart beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and guarantees a robust 72-hour power reserve. The watch attaches to the wrist by means of a braided nylon Nato strap featuring a camouflage motif, secured by a hook-and-loop system and complemented by a second textured technical strap.
