Independent horologist HOFFMAN Watches has launched the Racing 40 Mechanical GCC Collection—a trio of limited-edition chronographs dedicated to the Arabian Gulf.
Following last year’s Pine edition, the new release introduces three references: Dune GCC (inspired by desert landscapes), Graphite GCC (reflecting modern GCC skylines), and Marine GCC (honoring the region’s maritime heritage). Each reference is strictly limited to 200 individually numbered pieces.
Key Highlights:
- Regional Design: Applied Eastern Arabic hour markers, sub-dials, and tachymeter bezel.
- Dial & Case: Dual-layer grained dial, sapphire crystal bezel, and a 40 mm 316L stainless-steel case.
- Movement: Manual-winding Seagull ST1901 chronograph with a sapphire exhibition caseback.
- Versatility: 100 m water resistance, paired with an integrated vulcanized FKM rubber strap plus an extra black rubber strap.
“The GCC community has been part of HOFFMAN’s story from the very beginning. This collection is our way of expressing gratitude for that support,” says founder Will Hoffman.
Availability & Pricing
The collection launches on Thursday, September 24, 2026 via the official HOFFMAN website at USD 749 / SAR 2,868 / AED 2,806 / KWD 235.
