The Driver MkII isn't trying to be anything it isn't, which is refreshingly honest for a watch. It's a beautifully crafted homage to the golden age of motor racing, done with just enough wit and technical prowess to make you smile every time you glance down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Our Driver Chronograph\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProper Retro Racing Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inspired by the legendary GT cars of the 1970s and 1980s, this marvellous timepiece captures that intoxicating blend of tradition and modernity.
