MUMBAI: Checo Pérez just traded the racetrack for the wrist game because when a Formula 1 star says time flies, he means it literally.

Global ambassador Checo Pérez, one of motorsport’s biggest names, headlines the campaign, infusing the line with high-octane confidence and relaxed sophistication.

The men’s lineup is led by the bold Bank chronograph (44mm case, aluminium pusher guards, tachymeter bezel), powered by a Japanese chronograph movement and available with integrated bracelets or genuine leather straps. Other designs include the TH Oxford, featuring a textured dial inspired by the brand’s iconic Oxford shirt.
For women, the collection offers refined femininity through pieces like the 22mm Norah (slim two-tone case, navy patterned dial with Roman numerals) and the new Mackenzie (geometric bezel, frosted dial that catches light with subtle sparkle).
Shot against vintage cars and effortless style, the campaign captures the spirit of modern motorsport while celebrating timeless, versatile design suited for daily wear or statement moments.
