MOTOSCAPHE

Unlike other so-called "motorcycle watches," which often prioritize branding over function, the Motoscaphe 120 is a true tool watch, crafted for a specific purpose in a specific environment. The dial omits a depth rating, instead proudly displaying 176 = 53.6m/sec, a reference to the moment at 120 mph (193 kph) when human perception begins to blur—an experience many motorcyclists recognize as a quasi-spiritual state of speed and motion.
With its stark black sunburst dial, custom-designed markers, and red accent text, the Motoscaphe 120 exudes a bold, sporty aesthetic reminiscent of high-performance machines. The symmetrical, no-date design evokes the form of a spoked wheel, while the perforated black leather rally strap enhances both comfort and ventilation. Though engineered for riders, the Motoscaphe 120 is a timepiece for anyone who appreciates precision, adventure, and refined mechanics—just as dive watches are worn by those who never dive, this watch is a statement of motion and freedom beyond the road.

Built to Endure the Journey
Every Motoscaphe 120 is backed by a two-year international warranty, covering movement failure and manufacturing defects from the date of purchase.

The Motoscaphe 120 comes fitted with a black perforated rally strap, a design that enhances ventilation and comfort, echoing the styling of classic motorsport accessories. For those seeking an alternative, the black Tropic-style rubber strap is also available, offering a supple yet durable option with era-correct vintage aesthetics. Over time, the watch will develop a subtle, dark patina, adding an extra layer of individuality and rugged sophistication.
Additionally, the Orca strap—a high-performance rubber strap named after Quint’s boat in Jaws—is available across the range. Every Motoscaphe 120 ordered with the Orca strap comes presented in a beautifully designed travel pouch, providing both protection and refinement when the watch is sporting this strap.
