Not only is La Grand Boucle IV made with the high quality that surrounds Bravur, but it’s the small subtle details that truly bring the spirit of the Tour de France. With a 38.2mm stainless steel case and sapphire crystal caseback, this timepiece is sleek and modern. However, it’s the silver white with tarmac texture and polka dot pattern on the dial that gives it its character. Complete with a checkered finish line pattern on the rotor visible through the clear caseback, this watch does contain symbols of the sport. Perhaps the most obvious symbol of the Tour de France comes in the shape of the statement yellow strap and the vibrant yellow accent in the 15-minute counter at 3 o’clock.

Other unique details of the watch are an inverted 13 on the chapter ring, to avoid any bad luck for cyclists. As well, the watch is powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW511 movement, contains 27 jewels, and has a power reserve of up to 62 hours. For nighttime cyclists, the watch is equipped with Super-LumiNova infilled applied indices, making it easy to read in low light.
