390 Fastback Green
390 Fastback Green
The RESERVOIR 390 Fastback collection is inspired by the speedometer of the 1967 American “Pony Car”. The number “390” pays homage to the V8 engine from the original fastback pony car, boasting a displacement of 6.4 liters, or 390 cubic inches, and generating a power of 320 horsepower at that time.
The dial, the single-hand 240° retrograde showing the minutes, and the jumping hours in a window at 6 and the power reserve are not just mechanisms of time but symbols of freedom: a nod to the first car of a young generation of Americans from the sixties for a bold trip on the legendary US highways.
The green dial inserted in a 41.5 mm stainless steel case is mounted on a high-quality green leather strap as a reminiscent of vintage car seats.
Powered by the new caliber RSV-240, a proprietary patented three-complication module coupled to a manufacture movement (LJP-G100 base), combining retrograde minute, jumping hour and a 56-Hour power reserve.
Delivered in a prestigious wooden box.
Inspired by the speedometer of 1967 “The Pony Car” for a bold trip on the legendary US highways!
In the heart of a car watch lover, the thrill of embracing audacity and defying the ordinary becomes a lived experience with the new RESERVOIR 390 Fastback collection of wristwatches. This tale begins with the merging of two worlds: the precision of the Swiss craftsmanship embodied in a Luxury mechanical watch with complications, to the untamed power of a 1967 American “The Original Pony Car”. Inspired by its speedometer, the dial, the single-hand 240° retrograde, showing the minutes, and the jumping hours in a window at 6 are not just mechanisms of time but symbols of freedom: a nod to the first car of a young generation of Americans from the sixties.
The 390 Fastback Collection
The number “390” pages homage to the V8 engine from the original fastback pony car, boasting a displacement of 6.4 liters, or 390 cubic inches, and generating a power of 320 horsepower at that time. The minute font, inspired by the numerals on “The Original Pony Car” counters, mirrored in the car-inspired aesthetic. The minute single-hand moves in a semi-circle from the 0 to the 60-minute mark, then retrogrades back to 0, and the hour is displayed in a window at 6 completing visually the circle, akin like a gauge. With a choice of green, blue, or black dial, inserted in a 41.5 mm stainless steel case, mounted on a high-quality leather strap as a reminiscent of vintage car seats, and packed in a luxurious wooden watch box, these elements recall the perfect blend between mechanical mastery and the spirit of adventure.

About Reservoir
Unique design inspired by mechanical measuring instruments, RESERVOIR watches redefine boldness. The Swiss Made movement offers a radical way to read time – retrograde minute, jumping hour, power reserve. It transforms time into a precious resource, a faithful ally of adventure. Every 60 minutes, the single hand retrogrades and activates the next moment with the same intensity. To make every hour count. Fail or prevail but Make It Bold.
RESERVOIR watches reflect the functionality and aesthetic appeal of counters or gauges primarily from cars, aeronautics and marine. An era in which precision instruments were at the service of mankind, when the adrenaline coursed through the driver’s or pilot’s veins as he embarked upon voyages that demanded courage and high performance.
Twelve collections build the RESERVOIR assortment through four universes and one separated range: GT Tour, Supercharged, Longbridge, Battlefield, Kanister (Cars), Airfight (Aeronautic), Tiefenmesser, Hydrosphere (Marine), Sonomaster (Music) and Comics by RESRVOIR (Blake & Mortimer, Popeye). All models are equipped with a bespoke and patented horological module associated with a manufacture movement, assembled at La-Chaux-De-Fonds in Switzerland by a renowned watchmaker (calibers RSV-240 or RSV-Bi120).
The collections are distributed globally among 20+ countries, including the United States, Japan, Europe and Middle East, on-line and through a network of 80+ luxury retailers, the core range being priced at 4’000 euros. Established in 2017, RESERVOIR is presenting its novelties annually at international watch fairs (e.g. Time To Watches / Baselworld (Switzerland), Couture (USA), SIAR (Mexico),…) receiving outstanding reviews from the world media.
Collections were nominated four times for the Geneva Grand Prix de d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, selected at the 2021 Only Watch charity auction and received the Red Dot design award in 2022.
