RACE PILOT
Go for the gold
Halda has a proud history in motorsports and developed one of the first instruments used in professional racing in the 60s – the iconic Halda Speed Pilot. Modern racing could easily be described as space engineering on the ground and, given our motorsports legacy, developing the first true watch for racing was inevitable.
Based on the unique Halda Concept, and featuring interchangeable modules, the Halda Race Pilot Gold delivers a host of racing-orientated design features and it is fitted with a suitable engine – a self winding movement by prestigious Zenith. This timepiece has been put to extreme tests and fine-tuned to perfection by the Halda team.
Diamond-like carbon
For a high strength-to-weight ratio, the Race Pilot’s case is made of Titanium. To keep that luxurious racing look it is coated with black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). DLC is a nanocomposite coating that has unique properties like diamond’s natural low friction, high hardness, and high corrosion resistance. These attributes make it ideal for engine components such as fuel injection systems, valve trains and pistons but also in watchmaking for the same reasons.
18 K platform
This Race Pilot time platform is made of solid 18 K gold and furthers the principles of our founder in a modular system that brings together cutting-edge race timing with the pure beauty of mechanical horology. Each module is optimized for its task and Halda’s patented locking system allows you to change between them in seconds. A complete package of uncompromising functional and aesthetical superiority.

On or off the track – never compromise
Pushing the limit takes precision. Perfection. The Race Pilot Gold is developed for those who will stop at nothing to finish first. Those who spend hours and hours in order to reach their goals. For these dedicated, passionate few, the concept of winning is infused into their dna, and with it the fearless ability to seize on the smallest opportunities to edge out their opponents. As our founder once stated, ‘There is no room for mistakes if you want to become the best.’ Whether you are on or off the track – never compromise.
