Roland Sands is a championship-winning Moto GP rider and motorcycle racer, turned custom bike builder, who has an entirely new way of looking at motorcycle parts and riding gear. He lives the two-wheeled life and his crew is a diverse collection of road racers, off-road, dirt track, supermoto, and custom bike builders and riders. It's this diversity that allows them to work with the best in the industry on a variety of projects, including the new Roland Sands Design (RSD) timepiece.
The Roland Sands ICON Signature Series was designed in collaboration with Szanto to compliment RSD's line of Motorsports apparel and parts. Each watch has a 43mm 316L stainless steel case and fixed bezel (some with IP Plating in Gun Gray, Antique Gold or Black) with a steel push-in crown and screw-in case back. The extra hard K1 crystal resists scratching and is designed to stand the test of time. Underneath the crystal the hands and dial markers have applied multi-layer Swiss SuperLuminova lume that allows for night visibility. The dials are patterned after motorcycle instruments (speedometer and tachometer).
The watch is powered by a reliable Japanese Quartz Chronograph Movement (Miyota 6S21 2 Eye Chrono & Date) that keeps perfect time. The case is complimented by a beautiful genuine USA Horween leather watch strap, designed with a stitch pattern that is reminiscent of Roland's gorgeous leather Motorcycle jackets. The 22mm x 20mm straps have an easy change spring bar system for quick and easy strap changes. These watches are water resistant to 100m so there's never a need to worry when you hit that random rainstorm.
