To mark LACOSTE’s 80th birthday, the brand has created a limited edition chronograph watch to commemorate the milestone. This chronograph watch will have a unique design that echoes all the features that characterize the brand. Paying tribute to the founder, René Lacoste, the case is inspired by the octagonal shape of a tennis racket grip, while the ribbed silicone strap recalls the polo shirt’s collar and cuffs. Available in white/green or navy, the timepiece is limited to 800 units per colour and launches in March 2013.
