D[r]iver - Black

Depancel introduces the Allure D[R]IVER : a timepiece crafted for thrill-seekers, lovers of timeless elegance, and free spirits.
Channeling the adrenaline-fueled glamour of the 70s and 80s, where Cigarette boats and race cars ruled the scene, this new model fuses performance, precision, and flair.

The Golden Age of Speed, Freedom and Iconic Style
The 70s and 80s were decades of raw power and bold aesthetics — an era when everything was faster, louder, freer, and limits were there to be surpassed. Cigarette boats became icons of excess andelegance, race cars blurred the lines between danger and desire, and the men behind them became legends.
The Allure D[R]IVER taps directly into that high-octane spirit. It pays homage to that free-spirited ethos with the unmistakable aura of the Cigarette Racing Team’s glory days.
More than a vintage tribute, it’s a declaration of intent — for those who don’t wait for permission. Who push further, faster, stronger. A bold salute to freedom, speed, and style.

Engineered for Action
With its integrated 39 mm case, the Allure D[R]IVER combines clean, muscular lines with a refined edge. Designed for those who cravespeed and control, it moves seamlessly between seasidemarinas and racetrack paddocks.
Robust but never bulky, it exemplifies functional elegance. The integrated bracelet sits flush with the case, offering discreet yet highly effective comfort. Every detail is crafted to keep pace with enthusiasts who demand both performance and distinction in every setting.

A Dial that Bridges Land and Sea
The textured dial immediately commands attention. Its precise finish catches the light with lively reflections, evoking both the rolling swell of the sea and the sun-bleached grit of asphalt. Every detail speaks to the meeting point of two worlds: mechanical power on land and freedom on water.
The model comes in two variations: a deep ocean blue, and a bold two-tone red-and-black —a direct nod to the signature livery of Cigarette boats, symbols of performance and style. For an added sporty edge, the watch can also be paired with a robust rubber strap.
Applied indexes and dashboard-inspired hands ensure crisp, intuitive legibility, while SLN luminescent treatment guarantees visibility in all conditions — whether cornering at speed or chasing the horizon at sea. This dial is a promise: a watch built for adventure, wherever it
leads.

The Movement: Tried, Tested and Trusted
At the core of the Allure D[R]IVER beats the Miyota 9122, a distinguished Japanese automatic movement celebrated for its robustness and precision. A proven powerhouse, it offers smooth operation, everyday reliability, and easy maintenance — a guarantee of long-term performance, true to Depancel’s spirit of creating high-performance watches designed to last.

Depancel's signature
Each Depancel watch features a numbered plate, screwed onto the side of its case — a unique detail that emphasizes its character. This plate pays homage to car license plates, reflecting Depancel’s deep connection to the world of automobiles. An exclusive number, a mark of authenticity and personality.
