Monza Design 315B
Monza Design 315 Black Dial
The collaboration RESERVOIR by MONZA Design seamlessly blends the spirit of the racetrack with the intricacies of watchmaking. Drawing inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled world of the sport racing car with a prancing horse, this wristwatch is a tribute to speed and precision. Its starts with a breathtaking screw-crown at 2 with rubber grip where “Engine Start” is engraved. The Black Dial of the MONZA Design 315B sets a vibrant stage that evokes the focus of a driver in the midst of competition, an homage to this iconic car’s RPM counter. Meticulously crafted to convey the motion and velocity in a 43 mm case with brushed finishing mounted on a stainless steel bracelet, the Red Hand retrograde minute is akin to the swift movements of a finely-tuned engine, moving from 0 to 6, times 10 minutes, along embossed index numbers with metal outline, toward a Red Zone offering a visual parallel to the automotive experience.
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 Luxury racing car garage toolbox-inspired watch box, with three watchmaking tools : a magnifier for examining the intricate mechanics, an anti-magnetic watchmaker screwdriver, and precise watchmaker pliers. The box holds a tray designed to store MONZA Design eyeglasses and its favorite racing car keys. Additional black rubber strap featuring a racing car tire imprint included, along with four screws for an easy change.

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.
