Depancel’s Allure D[R]IVER Calendar is a tribute to speed and style

Inspired by the unapologetic excess and elegance of 70s motorsports and full-throttle speedboats

Looking back at the golden era of Cigarette boats and race cars in the 70s and 80s, the latest addition to Depancel’s repertoire combines motorsport aesthetics with road-ready performance.

Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case with brushed and polished finishes, the watch comes with an option of a sleek integrated bracelet or sportier rubber strap.

Its bi-directional 12-hour bezel with an aluminium insert offers quick time zone tracking – ideal for travellers and speed chasers – while a screw-down crown and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating provide durability and clarity.

The dial is available in ocean blue or red-and-black, nodding to marine power and racetrack grit. Applied indexes, dashboard-style hands, and luminescent detailing are accompanied by a textured finish which reflects light dynamically, reminiscent of waves or sunlit tarmac.

It’s powered by the Miyota 9122 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability and precision. Championing everyday usability, it offers hours, minutes, seconds, date, day and month functions.

With 100m water resistance, this is a watch that’s ready for action – whether you’re cornering on asphalt or cruising open waters.
