What to know

The George Russell chronograph replaces the usual white instrument markings with the driver’s signature blue. Numerals, luminous hand inserts and the rubber strap repeat the same colour against a black dial and ceramic case. Ceratanium crown and pushers keep the controls dark, while Russell’s racing number 63 is engraved on the titanium back.
