Atlantic Watches Marks Dussehra with the Desert Racer VBA 442 Limited Edition
~A Swiss chronograph inspired by resilience, determination, and the spirit of overcoming every challenge~
Dussehra is a time that represents the triumph of determination and the strength to overcome challenges. Marking the occasion, Atlantic Watches presents the Desert Racer VBA 442 Limited Edition, a rugged Swiss chronograph that brings together racing-inspired design, precision, and a spirit of adventure.
Inspired by Adrien Van Beveren, one of rally-raid motorsport’s most respected athletes, the Desert Racer VBA 442 reflects the qualities of resilience, discipline, and perseverance. Born in Northern France, Adrien rose to prominence with three consecutive victories at the demanding sand races of Le Touquet before taking on the world’s toughest rally stages, including the Dakar Rally. Recognised by his iconic race number 442, his journey reflects a relentless drive to push limits—values that closely align with Atlantic’s watchmaking philosophy.
At the heart of the timepiece is a commanding 44mm stainless steel case with black DLC coating. The matte bronze chronograph dial features sand-coloured indices and numerals, drawing inspiration from desert landscapes and extreme racing terrain. Powered by the Ronda R8040B Swiss chronograph movement, the watch is protected by a sapphire crystal and offers 100 metres water resistance, making it suited for everyday wear while retaining its bold, masculine character.
The watch is finished with a black genuine calf leather racing strap with a butterfly clasp and comes with a second desert beige leather strap with a quick-release system, offering added versatility.
Limited to just 442 individually numbered pieces worldwide, the Desert Racer VBA 442 is presented in a special racing collector’s box and accompanied by a limited edition certificate. Its limited availability and distinctive design make it a considered timepiece for Dussehra, reflecting the values of strength, progress, and determination associated with the occasion.
With its motorsport-inspired character and Swiss watchmaking precision, the Desert Racer VBA 442 Limited Edition captures the spirit of moving forward and pushing beyond limits—one moment and one mile at a time.
