Rocketman

In 1928, his record-breaking drive in the RAK2 rocket car marked the beginning of the rocket age. In the same year, the RAK3 rail vehicle reached a record speed of 256 kilometers per hour. The timekeeper was the Löbner company. The Steelracer Rocketman Edition 50 from Löbner honors this world record with a black automatic chronograph that combines futuristic design with technical sophistication in a PVD-coated stainless steel case and rubber strap. A gold-colored hallmark on the bezel at the level of the patented Sledge slider commemorates Fritz von Opel's speed record. Blued hands contrast with the gold-colored inlay on the tachymeter bezel and lend the minimalist dials a timeless yet modern charm. Like all Steelracer timepieces, the Rocketman displays the time on the complication developed by Löbner—a decentralized time display with a small seconds dial.
