A Racing Legacy Reimagined in Stainless Steel
The MONZA Design 325Y seamlessly bridges the gap between automotive adrenaline and mechanical sophistication. The stainless steel case, measuring 43 mm, is crafted with brushed finishing that echoes the metallic sheen of a finely tuned sports car chassis. Mounted on a stainless steel bracelet, the timepiece delivers durability with a distinctly luxurious appeal.
The screw-down crown positioned at 2 o’clock engraved with the phrase “Engine Start” sets the tone for what this watch represents. This design element not only reinforces the racing heritage but also gives wearers the feeling of igniting an engine before a grand prix.
The Vibrant Yellow Dial: An Homage to Speed
The yellow dial of the MONZA Design 325Y is an immediate visual tribute to the Ferrari 488 GTB’s iconic dashboard, reflecting the same boldness and focus a driver feels while chasing seconds on the track. The embossed index numbers with metal outlines exude clarity and precision, while the white and red retrograde minute hand mimics the swift acceleration of a car’s tachometer needle.
As the retrograde hand sweeps from 0 to 60, it simulates the RPM counter movement a symbolic nod to the intensity and rhythm of high-speed racing. The red zone at the dial’s edge adds another dimension, representing the thrilling limit of performance every driver aspires to push.
Mechanical Brilliance: The RSV-240 Caliber
At the heart of the MONZA Design 325Y lies the proprietary caliber RSV-240, a patented three-complication module built upon the LJP-G100 base movement. This extraordinary mechanism unites:
- Retrograde minute display
- Jumping hour feature
- 56-hour power reserve indicator
This triple complication design not only enhances functionality but also delivers an engaging, interactive experience for the wearer. Every motion of the watch feels like an engine revving precise, dynamic, and engineered for performance.
With 56 hours of power reserve, the MONZA Design 325Y ensures reliability during long drives or extended wear, making it a true companion for both the track and everyday life.
Design that Embodies Motion and Mastery
The MONZA Design 325Y’s aesthetic balance is a masterclass in design harmony. The brushed stainless steel surfaces meet polished accents in a symphony of light and texture, reflecting the dual nature of speed and control. The case back reveals fine engraving that commemorates the collaboration between RESERVOIR and MONZA Design, symbolizing their shared dedication to excellence.
Every component from the anti-reflective sapphire crystal to the precise alignment of the indices is meticulously crafted to capture both the beauty of engineering and the soul of racing.
Luxury Packaging Inspired by the Racing Garage
This timepiece arrives in an exclusive racing car garage-inspired watch box, embodying the aesthetic of a Ferrari pit station. The box is finished in signature orange and designed to store not only the watch but also essential tools and accessories, including:

- Precision pliers used by horologists
The interior features a dedicated tray to hold MONZA Design eyeglasses and your favorite car keys, further cementing its automotive DNA.

A Tribute to the Ferrari 488 GTB

From the yellow dial inspired by the car’s tachometer to the metallic finish mirroring its bodywork, this watch is a horological interpretation of Ferrari’s racing soul.
Just as the 488 GTB accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in mere seconds, the retrograde minute hand sweeps across its scale with equal energy and precision. It’s a fusion of art and mechanics, where timekeeping becomes a race against time itself.
