Italian spirit and nautical touches are woven together with Genevan craftsmanship in the dolce vita-inspired Classics Runabout collection. This expression of transalpine elegance is a highly sought-after collector’s piece, released every two years. In 2026, the 42 mm model is available in two versions: with either a deep blue or teak-brown dial, echoing the boats lovingly preserved by the Riva Historical Society. Each piece features a Manufacture GMT function and is limited to just 888 pieces per dial colour.

 

TRANSALPINE

LIFESTYLE

Between the depth of marine blue and the noble warmth of teak-brown, each timepiece offers a unique expression of the transalpine lifestyle. It features a Manufacture complication, resulting in a positioning that remains highly competitive. 

 

IN-HOUSE GMT

MODULE

At the heart of this limited edition beats the automatic FC-350 caliber, featuring an in-house GMT module with a 38-hour power reserve. This high-precision movement is revealed through a smoked sapphire caseback, adorned with the official Riva Historical Society.

 

BEYOND MECHANICS

LIES AESTHETICS

Both Classics Runabout 2026 models share the same design language. At their centre, the dials feature a satin-finished surface with vertical stripes, representing the foredeck of the boats preserved by the Riva Historical Society.

 

LIMITED TO

888

Each piece, engraved with “Limited Edition one of 888”, is presented in a box containing a miniature replica of one of these legendary boats, moored alongside the watch.
