Depancel turn their Allure and Série-R into the ultimate stealth timepieces

French-born Depancel have caught our attention with their eye-catching pieces that celebrate the golden age of motorsports. Now, their latest collection turns off the lights and goes blacked-out with two limited edition pieces, now available in the CD Shop.

We’ve seen shades of Racing Green, we’ve admired their dusky blue hues, and now Depancel have gone full stealth mode for their next collection, draining the colour from two of their most popular watches for a limited run of 100 examples of both the Allure Chronograph Manual Full Black and Série-R Full Black Limited Edition.

Both models celebrate the timeless allure of black, blending automotive inspiration with masterful watchmaking. Just a singular hint of orange punctuates the two otherwise all-black watch faces, representing a flash of speed as a Le Mans racer flies by in the dead of night. Starting with the Allure Chronograph Manual Full Black, its rounded case draws from the spirit of 1960s and 1970s Formula 1 chronometers, now with a fully blacked-out finish. Featuring a manual movement and a deep black dial highlighted by SLN old radium hands, the Allure embodies authenticity and refined elegance.  

Next and new to the CD Shop is one of Depancel’s most popular creations, now with an exclusive twist. The Série-R Full Black stands out with its bold square case, inspired by the iconic grille of the Delage D8. Its minimalist design, enhanced by durable materials and precision-applied black finishes, makes it the perfect choice for contemporary and audacious individuals.  

Together, these two watches offer a unique choice: the sporty elegance of the Allure or the commanding presence of the Série-R. Two distinct interpretations of black, crafted for those who seek exclusivity and sophistication. The hard part is deciding which one to go for, as they are both now available in the CD Shop!
