• Genuine Mini Cooper Racing Chronograph !!! Super rare model, ultra rare in this condition and complete with original box and printed instructions manual. Rare carbon fiber dial. Swiss movement inside. Rare Big Date feature. Discontinued model from 2010's. EXTREMELY RARE MODEL !!!
  • The real carbon fiber dial of this watch demonstrates technology taken directly from the racetrack: carbon is a key technology in the future of lightweight engineering. A resin-coated carbon weave, made of microscopic carbon fibers, is half the weight of steel.
  • This Mini Cooper Chronograph has one of the most beautiful designs from my entire MINI Collection. An all stainless steel case that has a fixed Tachymeter scale on the top bezel and slightly convex mineral crystal, will safeguard your precious timepiece for many years to come. The real carbon fiber dial with a red inner ring for the hour and minute markers, two-eyes for the small second and 30 min./12 hr. chronograph's function, a raised stainless steel MINI Cooper logo at 12 o'clock and big date in window at 6 o'clock, will make this timepiece an eye catcher. The red needle for the chronograph's seconds underlines the sporty appeal of this watch. Luminous hour and minute hands. The screw-in stainless steel back makes the watch water resistant to 165 feet / 50 meter / 5 ATM. It is secured on your wrist with a stainless steel bracelet that has black ion plated middle links to match the sport design of the dial. Stainless steel double safety clasp.
  • Big date feature: the extra large date display is one of the special features of your MINI Cooper watch; it is indicated by two, instead of only one disc; the inner one bears the numbers 0 to 3, the outer one 0 to 9.

Water Resistance
....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs.
Here are the facts in plain English:
1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory.
Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch»
2. HOWEVER:
The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition. I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours. On a side-note: only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do.

Thanks for looking and buying a great and unique item.  Have a great day !!!
