GRAND TOUR - LA CORSA ROSA III
The La Corsa Rosa model has a case diameter of 38,2 mm, which is a beautiful and versatile size. The case is made from 316L stainless steel and has been treated with a matte black ceramic coating.
The watch features 3 sub dials with a 15 minute counter, perfect for timing those intervals, a 12 hour counter, which should be enough to keep track of your riding time, and lastly running seconds. The main second hand in the center is a 60 second chronograph.
The watch is powered by a Swiss made Sellita SW511 movement, with automatic winding.
The FKM rubber strap gives the watch a sporty look, and makes it comfortable both on and off the bike.
Each watch is hand built to order in Båstad, Sweden, with an estimated lead time of 2 weeks.

IN DETAIL
THE DIAL
The grey metallic sandwich dial features recessed pink hour indices with Super-LumiNova lume color. The hour indices, as well as the sub dials, are surrounded by a black frame, elegantly connected to the minute scale.
The sub dials are recessed and tone on tone, with a circular texture. The 3H sub dial features three colored segments, representing the three leader's jerseys in the Giro; the pink overall leader's jersey, the blue king of the mountains jersey, and the purple sprinter's jersey.
At 3 o'clock you find a 15 minute counter, a 12 hour counter at 6 o'clock and a small second at 9 o'clock. The main second hand will start once you press the chronograph pusher.
Like all of the Grand Tour watches, the dial has an upside down number 13, in this case on the 15 minute sub dial. This is a reference to the long time tradition that the rider with start number 13 turns the start number upside down, to prevent any bad luck. A tradition many riders still today follows.

THE CASE
We wanted to create an elegant, yet powerful, case design. The classic dimension of the watch, 38,2 mm diameter, is smaller than most chronographs which we think is beautiful.
We have carefully combined polished and brushed surfaces to create a visually interesting look.
On the case back you will find a recessed "finish line" checker pattern, with a sand blasted finish. A classic racing reference.
The two pushers are easy to operate and the crown features our signature design with a recessed surface.
IN DETAIL
The Movement
Inside La Corsa Rosa you'll find a Swiss made Sellita SW511 movement, with rhodium plating and decoration. The beautiful movement, which can be seen through the sapphire case back, also features blue screws and a custom rotor with a deep etched "finish line" pattern.
The 27 jewel movement impresses with a power reserve of up to 62 hours.
IN DETAIL
ASSEMBLY & TESTING
Each Grand Tour watch is hand built in Båstad, in the southern parts of Sweden. Here we have a small workshop where our watchmaker does all the assembly, testing and, if needed, regulation of the accuracy of the movements.
Every watch is made to order, and the assembly and testing process takes about two weeks, and after a final visual inspection the watch is sent to the customer.
REVIEW
FRATELLO WATCHES
"Out in the wild, the Grand Tour watches look sharp yet remain playful. They wear incredibly comfortably yet maintain a strong presence both physically and visually. The just larger than 38mm diameter seemed custom-tailored to my wrist, and everything just seemed to make sense. I greatly appreciate the exhibition case backs that allowed me to watch the SW511 b in action. And the matte black ceramic coating of the case is a stark frame to the bright playfulness of the dials. And what dials they are!"
