What to know
The Classics Vintage Rally Healey Chronograph Automatic is a tribute to Austin-Healey motoring culture. Its light-blue sunray dial incorporates navy chronograph registers, a prominent numeral 12 and the original Healey signature. A bright red central chronograph hand sharpens the otherwise nostalgic palette, while a navy calf-leather strap with contrast stitching completes the racing association.

The polished 42 mm steel case houses the FC-397 self-winding calibre with a 62-hour reserve, visible through a transparent caseback. The watch is 14.45 mm thick and water resistant to 50 metres. Limited to 1,888 pieces, it arrives in a collector’s gift set with a miniature of the NOJ393 racing car. The design is less a literal dashboard instrument than a wearable reference to an era of British sports cars.
