FORZO has an undeniable passion for motor racing which they fuse into the DNA of every racing watch they design, from their automatic dials to their vintage-inspired racing chronographs. The watch brand FORZO doesn’t just make racing-inspired watches but is endorsed by motorsport legends like Carl Fogarty, DirtFish and Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, who have all collaborated on their own watch collections for the brand.

FORZO Drive King Pre-Order

More recently, FORZO has been working on an exciting new rendition of their popular Drive King range, updated with fresh colourways just in time for summer. The '70s Summer' collection takes inspiration from the greatest yachting watches from the 60s/70s such as the Heuer Skipper and Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer, looking to evolve these iconic designs with vibrant colourways reminiscent of the golden age of motorsport, within an affordable and robust package that's perfect for the everyday. The collection also includes two new renditions of the popular Drive King model with light blue and cream & green dial options. 

Forzo 70s Summer Colelction

The new Drive King collection is made up of four 40mm racing-style chronographs, offering impeccable clarity thanks to its thick sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and generously applied Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 lume on the light blue and yellow models. The blue and cream & green models feature a multi-layer design with applied indices, a tachymeter scale and recessed subdials to measure elapsed time. As with all the 2022 Drive King models FORZO has upgraded the bracelet to feature quick-release spring bars as well as using a new sapphire crystal for increased dial clarity and reduced distortion compared to the previous versions.

The solid 316L stainless steel case has polished and brushed textures, benefitting from a signed screw-down crown and embossed screw-down caseback, giving this watch a water resistance of 100 meters / 330 feet. This watch also features a bi-directional 60-click 12-hour bezel with a crisply finished aluminium insert, perfect for keeping track of a second time zone whether you are on the race track or on holiday!

Forzo 70s Summer collection

Powering the Drive King and 70s Summer models is a reliable Seiko VK64 mech-quartz movement, proving you with the precision of a quartz movement with mechanical features like a sweeping chronograph hand and instant resetting chronograph function.

The New FORZO Drive King collection are now available to from Geckota for a special pre-order price of £399 (was £449) with delivery to take place in July/August.
