If you just nodded your head in agreement at Dominic Toretto’s philosophical musings, then this might be the perfect watch for you. Designed by Takuya Yura, the owner of a Japanese racing team, the SBDP021 was released in 2004 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of [Seiko’s first Chronograph.](https://www.seiko-design.com/140th/en/topic/25.html)  **The Case.** Few watches wear their automotive influence so boldly - starting with the raiseable case. It can be lifted and locked into various positions, allowing the dial to remain legible and the pushers easily accessible - even when your hands are white-knuckling a steering wheel. **The Inspiration.** The case and bracelet are solid titanium, which keeps the weight down, allowing you to maintain your normal lap time. The dial design takes cues from high-contrast racing dashboards. A bold black-and-white colour scheme, paired with high-vis orange hands, ensures legibility at a glance - even if you’re going 200mph. And perhaps the most subtle touch? The outer edges of the lugs are shaped to resemble a double wishbone suspension system. **The Influence.** For most of us, this is more of a fun piece than a serious one - but it covers both bases convincingly. So much so, in fact, that [Porsche introduced their own take on a flip-up racing case](https://www.ablogtowatch.com/porsche-design-p6780-diver-watch-review/) a few years after the release of the SBDP021 (it’s not as cool in my biased opinion). **The Complications.** Rotating the bezel gives you quick access to the bullhead chrono-pushers, which control the central chronograph seconds, split time, 60-minute counter, and alarm functions.  # Details: **Condition:** Great condition.
