1970'S HOROLOGICAL HISTORY REBORN IN 2023


BORN IN 1972

Back in 1972, the watch brand Desotos had a long range of successful chronograph sports watches. For their next watch, they began to consider the specifics needs of racing drivers and airplane pilots. They knew that they had to have a good way to instantly tell the time, without having to take their hands off the controls to pull up the cuff sitting over their watch dial.

Desotos decides to take a daring design solution: create a chronograph that cannot be covered by the long-sleeved overalls or pilot jacket. This, was the initial birth of a design that would become known as 'the cuffbuster'.

The original had a Valjoux 7734 movement and a case with pushers along the top to facilitate handling. In addition, it had a curious asymmetrical arrangement that allowed it to sit partially on the back of the hand, preventing it from being covered by the user's sleeve, therefore allowing for perfect timekeeping at a glance.

OUR TWIST ON A RENOWNED CLASSIC

Inspired by the original Desotos Cuffbuster, and with a love for all things vintage & automotive themed, we knew that the Sprint had to be our next watch.

Keeping the vintage look and feel of the original design, we added some modern twists, along with adding 6 dial variants, all whilst keeping the price accessible - making this classic piece of horological history available to everyone.


UNIQUE DETAILS

The Cuffbuster is one of those designs that you've just never seen before.

With that, it has some very unique details...

You'll notice that for comfort and ease of time setting, the crown and 2 chronograph buttons are located on the top of the dial, making it incredibly easy to reset the movement, or adjust the time. This also allows the Cuffbuster to be incredibly comfortable - some worry about it being uncomfortable on the back of the hand - but with the design adjustments that we've made, it simply isn't!


6 OUTSTANDING COLOURS

The Cuffbuster is available in 6 colours, from those that tow the line with it's 1972 predecessor (for example our Brown dial), all the way through to some more colourful options such as the Orange or Turquoise dials.
