Medium Steel Black Finish Watch

Now an iconic silhouette in the world of fine contemporary watchmaking, Ralph Lauren Lauren's Stirrup collection is expanded to include a new series of models crafted with black finishes. Possessing a unique look while retaining the signature equestrian-inspired heritage and elegant expression of the original stirrup, this medium model features a matte steel case made possible by a technical treatment that transforms the steel with a sublime blackened patina. Powered by an RL300-1 calibre self-winding manufacture mechanical movement that provides a 42-hour power reserve, this water-resistant timepiece is the ultimate in Swiss-made technical precision.

The lacquered black dial highlights off-white Roman numerals, a printed minute track, oxidised sword-shaped hands and a sweeping second hand. Emulating a rider's saddle, the interchangeable strap features a small tab and stud that secures the watchcase to the strap, which is made from supple calfskin with contrast stitching.
